WINTERVILLE, N.C., Dec. 2 NC-Game-Theory-Group
WINTERVILLE, N.C., Dec. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- What do Eisenhower, Kennedy, Nixon, Ford, Reagan, and Bush, have in common? "Former college athletes," advises Vin McCaffrey, founder and CEO of Game Theory Group International. This may seem a trivial fact to some, but to McCaffrey it's the answer to filling the talent gap created by a significant demographic shift in the workforce. "With the Baby Boomers retiring business leaders are needed more than ever and scholar athletes make outstanding leaders."
Game Theory is a talent management consulting firm handling: Talent Acquisition, the recruiting and on-boarding of employees, Talent Development, managing performance and profiling talent for future growth, and Succession Management, managing high potential candidates and organizational development -- with a particular focus on generational management via the recruitment of former scholar athletes. "Generational Management is the process of gaining an understanding and eventually the management of," explains McCaffrey, "the opportunities and challenges associated with the rise of the Millennials and the retirement of the Baby Boomer generation."
With a successful background in Fortune 500 corporations, and a former scholar athlete himself, McCaffrey's been on both sides of the employment table and confidently points out, "the population of scholar athletes is a veritable banquet of positive traits that have proven track records in the professional world -- teamwork, competitiveness, strategic thinking, perseverance, discipline -- are all prized characteristics in the athletic and business arenas alike." Thus, Game Theory focuses on the selection and promotion of scholar athletes at this time when competition for talent has intensified.
Game Theory fills the talent gap by developing relationships with top-tier academic institutions and through individual assessment, gains insight into each candidate creating a profile for a potential role with a client. "Developing highly capable pools-of-talent," McCaffrey adds, "for the management needs of clients," but with a significant twist. In sharp contrast to existing job boards Game Theory, "personally presents each candidate to each client," linking the strengths, experiences, and career ambitions of the individual with the unique job requirements and opportunities of the client.
"One might say," McCaffrey concludes, "Game Theory builds a bridge between the talents of the academic world and the needs of the professional world."
