First, you get the talent, then, you get the power.
When the top 20 percent of most-talented candidates are selected for a role, a business often realizes a 30 percent increase in profitability, a 20 percent increase in sales and a 10 percent increase in productivity, according to Gallup.
The numbers prove that talent is everything. However, in this job market, competition to attract and secure candidates is fierce. Employers must think more strategically about talent acquisition to build a competitive advantage and hire the right workforce to have a positive impact on their organization.
How can they do that?
