Charlie Rose Talks to LinkedIn's Reid Hoffman

You’ve been thinking about changes in the workplace—in fact, you’ve got a new book out on the subject called The Alliance. What’s different?
Most people haven’t looked square in the face the notion that lifetime employment is gone. That’s not the way the world works anymore. But implicitly underlying HR programs, underlying recruiting, is still this presumption of a lifetime employment program, and that leads to a dishonest conversation. Both the employee and the company know there’s a real chance the employee is going to go work somewhere else, and that omission leads to distrust. Our head of engineering and operations at LinkedIn actually does something that didn’t occur to me but now I’ve started to do. In his very first interview with an employee coming to LinkedIn, he asks them what job they want after LinkedIn.
