TALENT OPTIMIZATION • HIRE
HIRE is part two of the four-part talent optimization discipline. This is where you’ll use talent optimization insights based on people data to hire top talent and build high-performing teams. In a large or growing organization, hiring is happening constantly. You may simultaneously be hiring for a new position, a position that you’ve recently modified based on a change in strategy, and hiring to fill a turnover gap. The activities described in this section apply to promotion situations and internal transfers as well.
Why hire is important to talent optimization?
Hiring is a critical activity in any organization regardless of its size, industry, or state of maturity. The ability to hire well sets the stage for future organizational success. Putting the right person in the right role also contributes to others’ confidence in the organization’s overall effectiveness; top performers prefer to work with other top performers. By contrast, a mishire can have devastating consequences not just on the organization’s business results but also on the engagement and welfare of other employees.
The hire aptitude is composed of four activities
-
Define and communicate job requirements.
-
Equip your leaders to land top talent.
-
Predict new team dynamics.
-
Determine your candidates’ cultural fit.
