Talent Acquisition
​
Most people understand that companies are nothing without people, and the best way to gain a competitive edge is to have the right talent in the right roles. However, many companies grapple with attracting, identifying, and hiring talent. Nepotism or gut-feeling hiring decisions can seem easy and tempting alternatives, but rational thinking quickly leads to understanding that these kind of decisions usually lead to sub-optimal results, and can even have disastrous results for all parties involved.
Hiring talent poses many challenges to businesses, with common issues including a limited candidate pool, ineffective talent identification, a lengthy and inefficient recruitment process, inadequate candidate screening, misjudging cultural fit, and difficulty identifying the necessary skills and character traits for the position. The resulting implications from these challenges range from productivity losses, high turnover, wasted resources, compromised brand reputation, to misaligned company culture.
Most research indicates that the average cost of replacing an employee can cost a company roughly 100-300% of the employees annual salary, accounting for lost intellectual capital, harmed client relationships, loss of productivity, and experience, in addition to the cost of recruiting a new hire. Mistakes in critical positions can have even harsher consequences as they have a larger impact on the company operations and culture.
​
How to avoid these situations? Well, the first thing is realizing that investing in people is not just an operational necessity, but a strategic choice that influences whether an organization thrives or fails in the future. Hiring is much more than matching CV's to role descriptions, but let's be honest, that's to the extent that it is most often handled.
