If you’re a leader, bringing talent into the team is the one thing you absolutely can’t afford to get wrong. The good news … get the hiring process right and success as a leader becomes a whole lot easier.
Who gets hired today shapes what’s possible tomorrow
Recruitment has always been a battleground of sorts. Three issues combine to make it evermore so:
- Scarcity – the ever-increasing difficulty and, indeed, frustration of uncovering talent.
- Talent acquisition is part of a wider talent management system and if the other elements in the system (e.g., leadership development, coaching, performance management, a culture that supports team effectiveness) are poorly thought through, excellence in the actual hiring process is quickly lost.
- In a world unfolding faster than it ever has in human history, recruitment is, and must be, strategic.
The need for talent acquisition to be strategic lies in sharp contrast to simply finding a replacement for the manager who was most recently, or is currently, in the role.
The mystery inside the riddle that lies at the heart of the hiring process is that although there is a veritable army of potential candidates, few amongst those available are TOP (Tested, Outstanding, Performers) talent.
When digital direction, managing complexity, speed of learning, a network-centric mindset and comfort with ambiguity are combined with strategic thinking, financial savvy, results orientation and coaching as performance imperatives, it’s truly a case of from the many available … to the few who are truly qualified.
If you’re a leader, bringing talent into the team is the one thing you absolutely can’t afford to get wrong. The good news … get the hiring process right and success as a leader becomes a whole lot easier.
