JULY 2008 execdigital.co.ukit8217s not local and the top jobs are no longer defined by a job descrip-tion and a set of targets.

It seems that LinkedIn is not so much a symptom of corporate frenzy so much as a glimpse into a world where the best brains seek each other out 8211 and maybe it won8217t matter who pays the salary anymore. 1728220The benchmark has changed since the 1990s. Highly talented employees may tend to stay around three years in a job and employers have to accept that8221 - Mike Rugg-Gunn
