Accelerated by the pandemic, decades of demographic change and technological advances have radically altered the obstacles facing executives in talent acquisition (TA). Even before the current labor crisis, candidates’ visibility into a potential employer’s operations (think: Indeed and Glassdoor) had strengthened their hand in the free-agent economy. Now, in the wake of the “great resignation,” many sectors face a new crisis.

In a labor-deplete market, perks have taken on heightened importance. But are these incentives enough to entice talent without proper recruitment tactics? A tougher hiring environment demands a revised approach to talent acquisition.

An RPO provider like Personify offers hiring solutions that are faster, more dependable, and demonstrably better at improving returns on investment than earlier approaches.

Steady-State Recruiting: How a Properly Aligned RPO Saves Money and Mitigates Risk One of Aesop's most famous fables tells the story of a grasshopper who spends the summer dancing while an ant works to store up food for the winter. When the cold weather arrives, the grasshopper finds itself dying of hunger and begs the ant for food. The ant then rebukes…

Elaine Lucca Carfley, MBA, Head of Operations & BI, encourages, "To not view leadership as a power that you take or deserve. Lead by example with empathy, courage, and commitment. Build emotional resilience and serve those you lead through a calm strength that guides them through challenge and change. Lastly, I advise women leaders to empower others through trust, respect, and integrity."

As employers emerge from the storm of the pandemic, they must survey the short-term damage. The bigger challenge, however, is to prepare for future threats, to negotiate a labor landscape that has been enduringly transformed. Even before the disorientation that arrived with today’s dizzying, labor-deplete or -distressed markets, employers suffered from recruitment regimes and were just too rigid to meet the demands of our current predicament.

Now more than ever, it's important to be able to identify any leading indicators revealing problems. Then, be able to pivot expeditiously and effectively. That puts the risk of inefficiency or imprecision squarely on the shoulders of the provider. A fixed, internal system doesn’t operate under such a dynamic.

At Personify, we believe we offer best-in-class RPO service.

Our own data points look like this:

71% of submittals generate an interview;
31% improvement in time-to-fill for our partners;
42% reduction in cost-per-hire for our engagements;
97% of our recruits attaining the coveted 180-day retention rate; and
4 out of 10 is our hiring manager Net Promoter Rating.

If you find a purpose for data instead of finding data for a purpose, you will lose almost every time.
