Talent – Source, Select, Perform, Retain

How to source, select and retain the right candidate for your business

Finding the right candidate is extremely important for the continuity and success of your business. Recruiting starts with knowing what is important to your business and what the organisational needs are in terms of competencies and personality.  Finding a candidate goes beyond simply filling a position.

These are the following recommended steps:

  • Review your business needs: what is the outcome and purpose of the role, who is part of the team, what person would complement the team best, culture, personality, etc.
  • Establish role profile including position description, essential criteria.
  • Develop ideal candidate profile.
  • Job matching – assess candidate suitability to the role as defined.

Once established an ideal candidate profile and a role profile, Human Equity will develop a program together with you to source the best candidates through:

  • Industry networking.
  • Human Equity Talent Bank.
  • Targeted advertising (local, global, online and industry specific).
  • Head Hunting when appropriate.
