Good Insight

Hey LinkedIn fam! 👋   Reflecting on my journey as a TA Manager, one of the things that stands out is the magic of a great candidate experience! Having observed candidates who kick off with a positive impression gained from the acquisitioning funnel, it's clear: the impact on their organization and long-term satisfaction is phenomenal. But here's the twist: I believe it's not just about filling roles; I'm actively considering the use of a useful index to evaluate this because every positive experience contributes to an organization's sustainability in the future. It's about shaping lasting relationships and showing our commitment to people for building a better community.   Cheers to the adventure of talent acquisition! 🚀✨   #TalentAcquisition #PositiveExperience #RecruitmentMagic #CareerAdventure #HiringSuccess #FutureOfWork #employerbranding [Photo from SHRM]

The highlight of my month came last week when I teamed up with Jamie Pirie, AMS Client Solutions Director, and Debra Sparshott, Talent Industry Expert & Analyst from TALiNT Partners, to host a virtual roundtable focusing on the most important topics for early career leaders and organisations across EMEA. It was a great chance to step away from the day-to-day and share insights on key considerations for 2024 when hiring and nurturing early talent. The roundtable attendees were a fantastic blend of TA professionals, some with highly strategic, well established early career programmes and others at the start of their journey to elevate early careers within their organization. This mix of experience made for a rich discussion across many topics, from authentic attraction methods, diversity, new routes for early talent into organisations, nurturing talent pipelines, hiring for skills and potential and how to bring the business along for the ride! My key takeaways: 💡 Assessing for skills and potential allows you to remove traditional methods of assessment that can have adverse impact on certain diverse groups, and coupled with educating the business on the benefits and considerations around this change, as well as having a method for reviewing and refining your approach, can lead to strong outcomes that help build your future talent pipelines. 💡 The competition for talent is increasing and early talent candidates are looking for authentic messaging and storytelling to help them decide where to apply. Utilizing existing early talent employees and ambassadors to create meaningful day-in-the-life insights for candidates to get a true picture (the good and the bad) of what it is like to work for your organization can open doors for talent that wouldn't have previously considered applying and increase the retention of your new hires; ‘shiny’ imagery that paints a perfect picture no longer resonates and leads to disappointment once the candidate joins. 💡Retention of early talent during is an ongoing challenge that employers must prioritize through robust development, progression and retention strategies. Being clear in your attraction on the possible career pathways, again through real examples and authentic storytelling, as well as the development a person will receive, is something that candidates today are definitely looking out for.

A Candidate, Changed a company every 2 years and you consider them a “Job Hopper”. Stayed with a company for 10 years and you consider them “Stagnated”. Left a company without a job and you consider them “Incompetent”. Changed a different industry and you consider them “Not Specialized”. Worked in only local companies not MNCs and you consider them "No culture fit". Stayed with the company average 3-5 years somewhat perfect but you consider them “Too Expensive”. The perfect candidate, they don’t exist. Instead look for Personality and Potential and hire the right ones and make them become perfect. #candidate #goodfit #goingculture #goodcandidate
