Attract Top Talent & Keep Them Engaged

7/13/2018 by Bailey

Studies have found businesses that excel in talent management and recruitment achieve earnings of 15-20% higher than their peers. Recruitment can have a direct and very positive impact on revenue creation and profitability.

Here are some factors that are value-adding to the recruitment and performance process:

• Measure if new hires meet expected performance levels and change recruiting and evaluation processes as needed; this requires evaluation of soft and hard skills as well as onboarding process and commitment of both company and recruit.
• Identify best sources for hiring at various levels; engage those sources to be current with business evolution (i.e. promotions, new products/services, awards, expansion), best practices, culture, and other insight that supports reasons why talent would be attracted
• Measure time to fill a position; validate internal vs. external supply chain challenges to expedite hiring process
• Analyze characteristics of new employees that resign in first 100 days to best understand opportunities to improve recruitment and onboarding process.
• Proactively review characteristics, behavior, and work history of talent that has added value to leverage future recruitment and evaluation processes.
• Identify opportunities to reward performance; this can be pay-for-performance, special awards, promotions, recognition announcements, or time off. Top performers need to be acknowledged and recognized.
