Four keys to attract and secure talent, that are often overlooked.

Too often talent is lost for reasons that are within a company's control.

The loss in terms of time wasted, resources used to find the talent (possible retainers and HR / hiring manager interviewing etc) and value add of that lost talent is impossible to measure.

By ensuring you have these 4 "boxes" ticked will go a long way to preventing talent walking away ...

1. Unmistakable clarity is essential in what you expect from the job applicant/candidate, ensure at least 5 critical must haves are evident (good guideline for shortlisting)
2. Explain and elaborate on the role in terms of delivery of outcomes you require.
3. Keep a candidate interested and engaged via COMMUNICATION which needs to be clear, consistent and regular. Candidates lose interest, and company perception is tainted when communication dwindles or is very irregular.
4. Smooth onboarding sets the tone … ensure the employee can contribute from day 1. All tools required are available, (Desk, pc, phone etc…) and work is assigned.
