Is there a Dearth of Young Retail Talent? |
|
Terre Simpson, president of Simpson Associates, an executive search firm: “In the past year, The Limited has instituted college recruiting. It reflects a concern in the retailing community that talent has to be nurtured and grown. Retailing has never been a preferred industry for talents from major schools." “There is talent in the industry, but it has to be handled creatively. “Mike Searles is heading Casual Corner now. He was at Kids “R” Us. That’s a very creative move, and hopefully he has the administrative skills to transfer. Retailers could definitely pull more talent from other industries, especially in areas of finance, systems, even in advertising and promotion.” |
