What’s the Secret to Finding Top Talent?

What’s the Secret to Finding Top Talent??

My discussions with Business Owners, Executives, and their Leaders have always been about Talent. In the last year this is a particularly hot topic - they want to know How to get Top Talent Interested [in working for them].?

To understand the how, we must first understand what is happening in today’s market is unprecedented. I’ve been in the Talent Acquisition space for nearly 20 years and have never seen anything like today’s market, but that doesn’t mean you can’t find the right people for your company. It just means they may not want to work for you or your company.?

You see, it’s more than just compensation that employees are looking for nowadays…employees want to buy into what you/your company are doing; they want to feel like their contribution to your company makes a difference. Having a healthy thriving company culture with inspiring leaders that matters most to today’s Top Talent.

Don’t get me wrong, fair pay is also a major conversation right now, companies will be forced to show their hand (and hiring budget) in their job postings - there’s a wave of pay transparency laws that are making their wave across the nation as we speak.?

So, why is this pay transparency wave actually a good thing for those hiring??

It means that candidates who don't’ fall in the range being offered won’t waste their time and yours by applying to a position that isn’t a fit for their livelihood and lifestyle.?

It means candidates who apply will know the pay being offered and still apply because there’s something deeper that is calling them to Your Brand.?

As Business Owners, I think we can all agree that one of the worst experiences we can have is finding out you can’t afford someone you really felt a connection with in the interview process. What this wave of pay transparency laws are doing is making it so the hiring budget has to be shared on front street.?

That means your Hiring Managers won’t get their hopes up! After all, shopping outside your budget never works. I mean, that’s like budgeting for a new Honda, but instead of test driving the Honda, you decide to hop into a little red Corvette at the dealership when you know you didn’t budget for the Corvette, and test driving the Corvette the thought of hopping into a Honda for a ride just doesn’t seem all that exciting. Right? The same can be said for interviewing someone you know is outside of your budget. This pay transparency wave means that Business Owners won’t get their hopes up for talent that is clearly outside of their budget. It’s? no surprise that the better the talent the bigger the investment.?

One mistake I see Hiring Managers making right now is hoping today’s market will yield a diamond in the rough if they just keep looking. Instead of looking inwardly at what they can do to attract Top Talent, they will waste time and resources to “keep looking” for that super qualified candidate that is looking for the low end of their hiring budget.?

We work with our clients to make the necessary changes to their company to make it one that candidates want to work for. Top Talent will find you if your company is ready.?

Good talent is out there, but they’re looking to make a difference by working for a company and its leaders that are determined to make a difference. Are you ready to attract Top Talent? If not, we can help! Message me for more details.?

How are you building your company for the Top Talent you want to attract??
