Recruiting, Talent and
Career Management
In order to meet your key TA objectives [reference their specific objectives, which you should have already uncovered during discovery], we should first take a look at the evolution of recruiting and where your organization is today.
Many companies are moving toward a model where they’re developing sourcing expertise in-house, using automation to personalize their job opportunities, ensuring the right talent brand is in front of the right individuals and arming their recruiters with access to the right talent pools. They are moving away from a reactive, traditional model and towards a proactive, strategic approach (Note: From bottom to top, each row in the framework represents a recruiting capability):
SOURCING: From agency reliance to developing in-house sourcing and pipelining expertise
JOBS: From post-and-pray to targeted & personalized job matching
BRAND: From no consideration of talent brand to developing an employer branding strategy
METRICS: From no metrics established to using talent data to improve recruiting effectiveness and ultimately shape business strategy
Where do you think you are in this evolution? [Have a conversation with the client and calibrate where they think they are in this process vs. what you think and come to a mutual agreement. Anchor them so that you can create a vision of where they can go next.]:
Many clients will start at the “Developing” stage
The LinkedIn Core Solution helps get them to “Foundational.” This is a necessary first step.
Clients already using the LinkedIn Core products can then think about more advanced strategies to get to the “Strategic” stage in the longer term (e.g., through Student recruiting, Campaign media, Branding Accelerator, Followers, etc).
La crescita organica dei followers è un ottimo indicatore di reputation ed engagement
