How to Attract Top Talent...

Whether your company is experiencing rapid growth or replacing people, knowing how to attract top talent is an essential business function.  

Here are 5 essential steps to this function to save you time, money and ensure a great fit for your company. 
  1. Define the position - skills and competencies as well as the cultural fit with your vision, mission and values
  2. Attract a large pool of applicants.  In today's job environment there are nearly 90 applicants per job with a well written and placed advertisement
  3. Design the recruiting process that mimics the qualities you want completed.  With a large number of applicants, you can manage the process by having applicants demonstrate their competencies and show their desire to go the "extra mile."  Allow your candidate to de-select themselves based on the initial advertisement and instructions throughout your process
  4. Once that applicant number is manageable, then invite those selected to a group interview with your team.  Make this a multi-hour session where you share information about your company, the position and get the applicant to step up and perform many of the essential job required tasks
  5. Review input from your entire team and decide 
This process is efficient and effective for you and your team because in a relatively short amount of time there is more input and insights gained to help you make a decision on selecting not only for skills and capabilities as well as a cultural fit.
