ATTRACTING TALENT
ATTRACTING TALENT
As unemployment rates drop across the world, talent attraction and retention have become a strategic priority in many organizations. The competition to find and hire the most talented and qualified workers is fierce and companies are looking for anything that will give them the edge.
Being successful in this competitive environment also means companies have to rethink their
current employee recruitment strategies and find innovative ways to attract talent.
Without an effective talent strategy in place, your company risks:
- Losing out on the top candidates
- Higher employee turnover and the associated costs that come with that
- Negative impressions of your company’s reputation and branding
Spring International has over 30 years of experience helping companies evaluate their recruitment, engagement, and onboarding processes. We also assist in developing data-based solutions to help measure the success of their programs. Spring recognizes that your hires are only as good as your hiring process and those responsible for making hiring decisions. The first step to attracting and retaining quality hires is to evaluate your current hiring methodology and approach to talent management.
At Spring International, we offer a comprehensive suite of services to help you attract quality talent.
Applicant Metrics
Application metrics are key to evaluating the health and effectiveness of your recruiting process. The team at Spring will help you prioritize the main metrics to help your organization track your employees and measure how effective your current human resources initiatives are. Primary focus areas may include time to fill, cost-per-hire, interview-to-hire ratio, and offer acceptance rate.
Spring can help you build a People Scorecard that tracks your key performance indicators over time.
Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
Having a diverse, equitable, and inclusive work environment is an important way to attract top candidates. Studies have consistently shown that employees are happier and more productive when working in an inclusive environment. As an employer, it’s important for you to showcase the culture your employees experience in your organization.
Spring can help you determine how your organization is viewed by both current & potential employees with a customized Diversity Assessment – helping you to attract and retain an increasingly diverse workforce. Helping your organization stand out as the best employer in your industry.
Declining Applicant Interviews
In this competitive job market, the best candidates have the benefit of being selective about where they work. This means that knowing why an applicant declined a job offer is an important step in identifying potential shortcomings in your recruitment technique. Most candidates turn down job offers due to a poor experience somewhere in the recruitment process. The team at Spring can assist you in developing Declining Applicant Interviews that are tailored to your specific organization and will help you evaluate every step of the applicant experience – from job posting to the initial offer.
Employee Value Proposition Assessment
In an environment where attracting top talent has become more challenging than ever before, effectively communicating your Employee Value Proposition (EVP) has become an increasingly important part of the recruitment process. Spring will help you identify your organization’s unique set of offerings and values to positively influence targeted candidates. Our team will develop an EVP that is unique, relevant, compelling, and on-brand to act as a key driver of talent attraction, engagement, and retention.
Onboarding & New Hire Surveys
Onboarding surveys measure the experience for new employees and help companies avoid costly surprises that could impact the engagement and well-being of new hires. Having a well-thought-out onboarding strategy is directly linked to higher employee engagement, better performance, and a lower attrition rate. The experienced professionals at Spring International will evaluate your onboarding process and assist you in crafting new hire surveys that track the employee experience over the first twelve months. Understanding the employee experience journey in the first 30, 60, and 90 days can be critical in retaining that hard-won talent. Spring’s analysis will provide valuable and actionable insights that will help lower costly turnovers.
Recruiter Manager Feedback
Recruitment Managers need to strategically oversee the entire recruitment process from sourcing to interviewing and onboarding. Having the right recruiter productivity metrics in place can help tell what facets are working & if you’ve achieved your set targets. Spring’s Recruiter Manager Assessments can help you gain these valuable insights to determine where your recruiters should spend their time and how to better allocate your recruitment budget.
The complex world of attracting quality talent continues to evolve and has far-reaching effects on every aspect of the employee lifecycle. Turn to the professionals at Spring International to help you attract and retain quality talent and make your organization an employer of choice in today’s crowded marketplace.
