Michael Homula, Director of Talent Acquisition for Quicken Loans

I've known Michael personally now for about 8 months and am totally impressed with him each chance I get to talk with him face to face. If you are a CIO, CEO, etc. of any company you should call him and just "talk" to him. About 5 minutes into the conversation you'll see why I believe Michael is the type of guy that can bring a major company to "the next level."

I'm in Chicago for the HCI Summit and had dinner with Peter Clayton of Landed.fm last night. He mentioned that he just posted an interview with Michael on his site. It's a must listen.

Key Topics of Discussion
LEAD MANAGEMENT
Leads are suspects or people who have been identified as being part of your company's industry. These people need to be qualified to make sure they are someone you want to have a relationship with.


CONTACT RELATIONSHIPS
Contacts are individuals who are associated with your competitors or Acounts as I call them. Or people you have inditied for potential employment.


ACCCOUNT MANAGEMENT & COMPETITIVE INTELLIGENCE
Accounts are companies. They can be business partners, vendors or one of two types of competitors. Either a Direct Competitor which is a company that is in the same business you are and sells products “against” you, or an Indirect Competitor which is a company that is not in your business but does employ people similar to whom you employ.


OPPORTUNITIES
Opportunities are what you qualify Leads and Contacts against. Your open opportunities constitute your predictable talent pipeline and opportunities also serve as the foundation of your talent management forecast .


STRATEGIC PLANNING
Strategic Planning is used by both your talent acquisition team and your hiring managers…together. Together you create and manage plans and the associated strategies and execution tactics for these plans.

The planning process will most likely be performed for each quarter and be used only for strategic planning where a company makes the decision to proactively target either a highly desired skill set or to “staff up” for a large, high profile project. Strategic Plans are tied to specific departments or divisions and contain the overall objectives for the strategy such as targets, goals, strengths, and challenges.


STRATEGIES
For each Strategic Plan there is a set of strategies that define how the talent acquisition team will meet the hire targets by using a combination of sourcing, interviewing, recruiting, and presenting qualified applicants to Hiring Managers. Multiple strategies for each Strategic Plan allow a company to implement best practices and effective planning processes which includes plan activity management via collaboration of the talent acquisition team and their goals.


CAMPAIGNS
Campaigns are specific marketing activities that you manage to drive leads, build a brand, or stimulate interest in your company.


REPORTING
Reports are data analyses for you and your organization. You can create a variety of best practices reports, and you can build custom reports on the fly to better measure your team's activities, failures and successes.


DASHBOARDS
Dashboards are graphs, charts, and tables based on your custom reports. You can use dashboards to visually measure and analyze key elements of your talent acquisition efforts.


HOME PAGE
Your home page that displays your Outlook synched calendar and task list, along with a customized Dashboard view. You can also disply a list of "hot" links, RSS news feeds, and more web based customization at an individual user's level.


DOCUMENT STORAGE
These are documents that you use as part of your sourcing and recruiting processes.
