Talent Acquisition Strategies

Identify and develop their future leaders allowing them to create advantages for the business.

Duration

2 days

Online class

Overview

Many organisations will invest heavily in their talent acquisition practices. The premise is it will help them to identify and develop their future leaders allowing them to create advantages for the business.

First and foremost, organisations must first understand the forces that impact the business and its talent pool, then align their talent strategies accordingly.

How can organisations ensure they are competitive in their talent acquisition strategies? The ability to attract external talent depends upon how potential applicants view the organisation, the industry or sector in which it operates and whether they share the organisation’s values. Creating an attractive employer brand and employee value proposition is an important factor in recruiting and retaining talent.

Talent identification involves the assessment of performance and potential and creating a strong talent pool. Business critical roles must be identified first – these are leadership and specialist roles that, if unfilled for any length of time, could leave the organisation vulnerable.
