Hiring for
the Best Skills
March
2007 Newsletter
Most
organizations find that recruiting, selection and hiring
are becoming one of today's most critical
challenges.
Organizations report increased needs to attract
talent to replace aging "boomers," and that talent must
be capable of achieving at higher and higher
levels.
Organizations need to replace management skills,
product knowledge, technical know-how and organizational
wisdom, among other key resources. With much to do
and time always at a premium, making the right hire and
retaining those whom we do hire are tasks that deserve
the highest attention we can give them.
We see a shift from the emphasis on "employer
of choice" to a focus on finding the "employee of
choice."
Clearly, attracting and retaining top talent
continues to be one of the biggest strategic advantages
for organizations.
And for organizations to be successful at this
quest, they need to locate, recruit, select and hire for
the right fit within their specific cultures. Once talent is
hired, however, the job of retention begins, and this is
no easy task.
In this issue, we examine some strategies for
hiring, retaining and creating long-term fit for top
talent. As
you read through the articles here, look for ideas that
you can introduce to the thought leaders in your
organization.
Help create new solutions to the hiring and
retention challenges that your organization
faces.

| Strategies for Hiring Success
|
| It has been well documented
that employee turnover costs organizations
significant amounts of money. Sources report that
when an employee leaves, 1 to 10 times his or her
annual compensation is lost in productivity,
training and other associated costs. And now, with
organizations competing more strongly for talent,
the need to hire the right employee and retain
that person is even more critical. And, bad hires
drain more than just money from your
organization. |

| Raise the Chances that Your New
Hire Will Be a Good, Long-Term Fit |
| Once the desired candidates
have been selected and hired, the challenge of
retaining these new employees for the long-term is
just beginning. Clearly, the hiring process brings
key talent to the doorstep, but the processes
involved in introducing them to the organization
and starting them on the right foot are just as
critical. |

| How to Recruit Top Performers
|
| Every manager understands
the importance of hiring really great staff, but
few are trained how to do it. They know that to
prosper, they must hire the best person for the
role, not just the best of the bunch. To always
hire the best, hiring managers need to appeal to
the REAL REASONS why Top Performers make a career
move. |

| 5 Ways to Constantly Attract Good
People |
| Recruitment is one of those
activities that you cannot just 'switch on' when
you have a vacancy and expect instant results. To
attract the right people on an ongoing basis, you
must have some key steps or systems in place all
the time - even when you have no open
vacancies. |

| Expert Strategies for Hiring the
Best Employees |
| A few years ago I wrote a
column in which I compared managing employees to
herding cats: just when you think you have
everyone organized in a happy little group and
going in the same direction one cat breaks from
the herd and heads off to do its own thing. Then
another cat falls out of line, then another, then
another. Finally two more cats ask to go home sick
and three others just wander off after lunch,
never to be heard from again. |
