What are the essentials for creating a long-lasting team of talent within an organisation?
More candidates doesn’t mean more talent…
…the growing candidate market is actually making it tougher for employers to identify and attract the talent they need. This is what makes a more focused approach to building and nurturing talent so important.
90% of the talented candidates aren’t looking for a job…
…But they are open to the right opportunity – if you can reach them. Just 10% of the market is active looking, the rest is passive. Employers can benefit from adopting a mix of traditional and new ways to reach out to potential candidates
Talent isn’t about skills…
…or rather, it isn’t about skills alone. Effectively selecting – and retaining – talent demands a selection process that covers competency and behaviour as well as skills. This approach is much more likely to lead to a profitable and long-lasting match between individual and organisation.
Many employers feel unsure about selecting talent…
…so it’s essential to apply a 360 degree approach to selecting the best candidate for the job and avoid common errors like inconsistent selection processes and failing to verify what the candidates says they can do.
Finding the ideal candidate is just the beginning…
…because without effective training and development, the next move for that talented new employee could be out and off to a competitor. Training and development can be an afterthought – or it can be a key part of building and boosting a company’s performance through talent.
