Matthew Simmons is AGI’s VP Research & Sourcing and the “de facto leader” of our new age AGI Millennials who believe that to get highly skilled quality talent in the door, HR and recruiting leaders need a new talent acquisition strategy. Hiring quality talent is increasingly difficult and evolving skill needs are among the large-scale shifts currently underway in the workplace and labor market, and traditional recruiting strategies are finding it hard to keep up.
Historically, the value of the recruiting function has been to acquire quality talent with critical skills to meet the organization’s short- and long-term objectives. Recruiters focused on replacing the workforce by seeking a similar set of candidate profiles from known talent pool sources that were attracted to existing employee value proposition (EVP) attributes.
Hiring quality talent today requires recruiting leaders to shift their strategies from replacing the workforce to shaping the workforce by defining needs based on skills, sourcing talent more broadly and creating responsive employment value propositions.
