Thanks Jeff.

I completely agree with you when you say that "Most parts of HR can provide strategic and comparative advantage if done correctly." But I think you'd agree with me when I say that in most cases HR is set up to be an administrative rather than a strategic function. And even when they are strategic, recruiting and talent management tend to get further buried than they deserve to be in my opinion.

These disciplines should be the lifeblood of companies in a knowledge economy where great talent drives profit. The best hope to change the game and raise the stakes is to secede. Let the comp people get more strategic and show what they're worth (so to speak) - amen! But recruiting shouldn't be waiting for that to happen to get the respect it deserves.

I'll be posting some more thoughts on this topic and some very interesting reader responses on my blog in the next week.
