Acquiring Talent

Sourcing talent is the process to generate a pool of qualified candidates for a particular job. The organization must announce the job’s availability to the market and attract qualified candidates to apply. The organization may seek applicants from inside the organization, outside the organization or both.

Talent selection is the process to make a “hire” or “no hire” decision about each applicant for a job. The process usually involves determining the characteristics required for effective job performance, interviewing, and then measuring applicants on those characteristics.

Key Assumptions

“Organizations need to get the right people on the bus and in the right seats to succeed.”

“Good coaching, training, mentoring, etc., is not likely to make up for bad selection.”

“Hire hard….Manage easy!”
