1. Using technology to attract talent

Talk to your talent recruitment team to find out if there are any technical gaps preventing the company from reaching the ideal candidate. Because if your talent acquisition team is happy and has the technical tools it needs to facilitate its work, it means that it will be one of the leaders in the race to attract the best talent. And you have to keep in mind that the technical landscape is accelerating at a great pace, and digital transformation today is a necessity if you want to compete for the best candidates.

2. Making data-driven decisions

All organizations use data to sell their products and services by marketing to the right people, and the same approach should be taken when attracting talent. And the right data can help you determine where the best candidates come from so that you can focus your efforts on those sources.

The data can also lead you to find out if there are certain questions in your application process that prevent candidates from filling or completing them so that you can get rid of these questions. You may also discover that photos and videos that highlight the company culture can encourage an increase in the number of applicants to your organization. 

3. Retention of high-performing employees

After investing time, energy and money in attracting and hiring the best talent, the last thing you would like to happen is for these employees to leave your company in favor of another competitor. So you should consider, but not limited to, offering an attractive benefits package that takes into account even the mental health of the employee.

Many people today are willing to take lower salaries for the greed of getting better benefits. A survey conducted by one of the associations specialized in Human Resources Management found that almost a fifth of HR professionals have adjusted their benefits package to retain employees over the past twelve months.

And since the pandemic, flexible remote work options have become increasingly popular, so consider offering employees an option to work from home. It is also necessary to provide employees with learning opportunities, develop their skills and advance in their careers. Training programs, mentoring, coaching, job shadowing and insider hiring are examples of some ways to retain high-performing employees.

4. Building a positive candidate experience

A successful talent recruitment strategy creates a positive experience for all candidates, regardless of whether they have been hired or not. So review your current ad and the selection process from the candidate's perspective. For example, emails and automated messages sent, wording in the job description, waiting time, ease of application, etc .details.

For example, Hilti, a construction company, requires anyone involved in the recruitment process to complete a one-day training session covering fair recruitment practices, interview techniques, evaluating candidates against core values, and other specifications that should characterize the recruitment team. This training ensures the consistency of the talent recruitment process and provides a positive experience for all candidates .
