As fashionable as the term “the war for talent” is these days, companies should do it’s best to avoid that war. Value-Based Recruiting is an intensive and practical one-day workshop that helps you to push the old pile of CVs aside and unlock new sources of talent.
In 7 hours of presentation, discussion, analysis and practise, you and fellow HR managers will take a constructively critical look at recruitment processes and learn new methods to define the talent you need, broaden its sources and ensure that each new hire ends up in a position where they can deliver high value. All this based on the latest cognitive behavioural methodology, and two cutting edge tools to make them directly applicable.
The workshop is most useful to middle to top level managers directly involved in recruitment and talent management and their team members. Each participant will receive two complimentary assessment profiles: cognitive problem solving and behavioural analytics.
AGENDA
9:00 to 9:30 Registration and networking
9:30 to 12:00 Morning Session
- THE FUNDAMENTALS: Re-evaluating talent needs and recruitment methods
- ROUND ONE: Smart enough to do a good job?
12:00 to 13:00 Lunch break
13:00 to 15:00 Afternoon Session
- ROUND TWO: Assessing drives and motivations to perform
- ROUND THREE: Hiring for talent, developing skills
The Fundamentals: The analysis of typical recruitment scenarios reveals basic mismatches between job descriptions, ways to engage candidates and what companies actually need. Going back to the starting point and designing both job descriptions and recruitment communication based on specific needs saves effort, widens the talent pool and improves retention later.
Round one: Cognitive problem-solving aptitude. The single most powerful indicator of future performance, it also has the advantage of a linear score instead of multiple indicators. Smart companies start their selection with such a score to find talent in unexpected sources: GE has recruited brilliant engineers from army veterans, Virgin Atlantic some of their best air hostesses from ex-nurses.
Round two: Behavioural fit. Being smart enough to do a job does not guarantee motivation to do it. Modern behavioural tools reveal the candidate’s potential not only on the level where recruitment is taking place, but also along the line of future promotions. Smart companies like market-leading logistics giant Maersk trains both functional managers and HR in behavioural tools, so that the two sides cooperate for better selection.
Round three: Work experience. There is nothing wrong with the traditional method, but using it first places you in the “red ocean” of the HR market. In his best-selling book “From Zero to One”, PayPal founder Peter Thiel was by no means the last to point out: Successful companies hire talent and train skills, rather than the other way around.
