Hiring for Critical Roles: You’re Doing It Wrong

Télécharger pour lire hors ligne

One of the great paradoxes of the current economy is a relatively high level of general unemployment among Western economies and simultaneously, a very tight labor market for certain skilled roles. Anecdotes of hiring cycles in the six-month range for specialized developers or designers are not uncommon in software circles, and high-tech manufacturers voice frequent complaints about the lack of skilled talent. The key to solving these hiring challenges is to think differently about the problem. All too often, hiring managers and recruiters default to a “hiring” focused answer, when frequently the real answer lies in development, internal mobility, apprenticeship and long-term career and succession planning. In this session, we’ll talk about how all these pieces fit together and why “hiring for critical roles” is fundamentally the wrong strategy in most cases.

  9. 9. Executive Summary • High unemployment is a myth (at least for critical roles) • Skill shortages are bad and getting worse • “Hiring” as a default approach is flawed – It costs more. – It results in lower productivity and performance. – It hurts engagement and turnover for hi-pos. • We need to reprioritize development and mobility • To do this, we need better talent intelligence, job definitions, and matching tools • But mostly we need a strategy 8
  10. 10. Poll • Are you having difficulty filling critical roles? • Yes • No 9
  11. 11. The “High Unemployment” Myth Education level (March, 2012) Unemployment Rate Less than high school diploma 12.9 High school diploma 8.3 Associate’s degree or some college 7.3 Bachelor’s or higher 4.2 Master’s (as of May 2011) 3.6 Doctorate’s or Professional (as of May 2.4 2011) For critical roles, which group are you hiring from? http://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.t04.htm http://www.bls.gov/emp/ep_chart_001.htm 10
  12. 12. The Challenge of Critical Roles The R&D shortage is particularly acute in industries where product innovation is critical. Among the Technology/ Media/ Telecom companies surveyed, 40% predict a severe shortage of R&D talent, while 39% of Consumer/ Industrial Products companies surveyed and 37% of Life Sciences/Health Care companies surveyed foresee shortages in this area.

  14. 14. And the Future Looks Worse Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce on shortfall of college grads in 2018 3,000,000 Accenture study from 2006 showed that STEM enrollments would need to increase by between 2006-2016 to meet demand 20-30% Instead, enrollments have GONE DOWN. 13
  15. 15. Poll Question • How do you typically fill critical roles? • Mostly external hires • Mostly internal hires • A pretty even mix of each 14
  16. 16. Challenges in Hiring Externally for Critical Roles • Cost • Time • Retention • Engagement 15
  17. 17. External Hire Challenges: Cost and Time • External hires cost more – Critical roles are usually industry-wide, not company specific – Thus, there is usually high demand for limited resources – Critical roles are critical for a reason – unique skills, high need – Scarcity + high demand = high cost – “Unknowns” in external hiring = more focus on “observable characteristics” such as education / experience =  pay • Scarcity also often means head hunters which adds more cost • Scarcity also means longer time to hire, adding opportunity cost 16
  18. 18. External Hire Challenges: Cost and Time • External hires cost more – Critical roles are usually industry-wide, not company specific – Thus, there is usually high demand for limited resources – Critical roles are critical for a reason – unique skills, high need – Scarcity + high demand = high cost – “Unknowns” in external hiring = more focus on “observable characteristics” such as education / experience =  pay • Scarcity also often means head hunters which adds more cost • Scarcity also means longer time to hire, adding opportunity cost 17
  19. 19. External Hire Challenges: Retention, Productivity, and Engagement • External hires aren’t as productive as internal hires; it takes 2 years for new hires to get “up to speed” • Externals average shorter tenures than internal hires • Externals average lower performance reviews • Hiring outside = risk to existing top performers and high potentials – “Lack of career development” is #1 reason for dysfunctional turnover – “Training and development opportunity” is #1 driver of employee engagement – “More opportunities to do what I do best” is #1 driver of employee engagement 18
  20. 20. External Hire Challenges: Retention, Productivity, and Engagement • External hires aren’t as productive as internal hires; it takes 2 years for new hires to get “up to speed” • Externals average shorter tenures than internal hires • Externals average lower performance reviews • Hiring outside = risk to existing top performers and high potentials – “Lack of career development” is #1 reason for dysfunctional turnover – “Training and development opportunity” is #1 driver of employee engagement – “More opportunities to do what I do best” is #1 driver of employee engagement 19

  25. 25. Yet We Know Very Little About Our Talent: Succession and Talent Mobility 24
  26. 26. Yet We Know Very Little About Our Talent: Top Performer and Hi-PO Data is Ugly • 80% of companies don’t know who is a flight risk. • 78% of companies don’t know who is on a succession plan. • 80% of companies don’t know who has a career path. • 65% of companies don’t know much about who they’re retaining. • 84% of companies don’t if their development plans are working. • 65% of companies don’t know much about Hi-Po’s. 25
  27. 27. Addressing the Problem External Hires Internal Hires • Fresh eyes and • Anytime the perspectives other criteria • High growth, don’t apply… new territories, • In other words, new strategic this should be directions the “default” model 26

  35. 35. Catalog Address Your Talent Intelligence Gaps Internal Talent • Where are your skill and competency gaps? • Do you have robust talent data for your team? – Pre-hire experience, job roles – Skills, capabilities, competencies – Self-identified skills developed in personal life – Career aspirations and related gaps – Learning and development plans – Crowd-sourced assessment of potential, capabilities, fit, etc… – Current and automatically updated talent data 34
  36. 36. Address Your Job Role Gaps Catalog Job Requirements • Have you defined requirements for each job? • Do you have job families? • Can you identify potential career paths based on competencies, capabilities, experience? • For critical roles, have you identified longer-term competency development strategies? – Required experience and levels of mastery – Education and formal knowledge requirements – Bridge roles or “stepping stone” roles that provide experience – Assessment models 35
  37. 37. Developing Your Talent Development Assess Gaps Plans • Career Aspirations • Skill Gap Assessment • Action Learning • Stretch Goals and Assignments • Talent Mobility • Multi-stage Development and Competency Model • Mentor / Mentee Models 36
  38. 38. Update Requirements Update Assess Gaps Requirements • Is the job definition static or dynamic? • How much “wiggle room” is there to rethink work assignments and responsibilities to overcome gaps? • Do requirements change over time in response to changing competitive landscape, strategy, new opportunities or threats? • Job roles and requirements are a means to an end – Reflection of “best” way to organize work, not the “only” way – Often better to rethink work assignments than lose a top performer or hi-po for lack of internal opportunities 37
  39. 39. Matching – Not Deep Enough Match • Goal is not to “hire,” but to match talent to requirements • Yet we don’t know the basics 48% say that their skills go feel that their work history & experiences are not leveraged by their employer 75% unnoticed 38
  40. 40. Matching – Not Social Enough Match Those who know talent best aren’t involved in matching Professional & work Professional & work capabilities aspirations / ambitions None of the Other None of the Other above 1% above 1% 6% Don’t know 3% My family / Don’t know My family / 5% partner 5% partner 21% My line 43% manager My line manager 13% 22% My friends HR software / outside of work systems 4% 1% HR software / systems 1% My colleagues My colleagues and peers 22% My friends and peers outside of work 43% 9% 39
  41. 41. Matching – Not Smart Enough Match 40
  42. 42. Recruiters – Not Smart Enough • What’s the #1 predictor of job performance? – Interview – References – Job Tryout – Cognitive Ability or Psychomotor Skills – Educational Background – Experience – Training and Experience Rankings – Academic Achievement – Interest – Age – Biographical Inventory 41
