Global Model: Recruiting Process Framework
16
Productivity
• Ability to present pre-qualified candidates once position is approved minimizes lost productivity due to vacancies
Quality
• More time to identify and attract top candidates for key talent segments by focusing on passive candidate pools in advance of need
Diversity
• More time to conduct outreach prior to position vacancy in order to develop relationships that yield diverse candidate slates
Business Case for Talent Sourcing
17
Ability to present top candidates immediately
A successful talent pipeline
enables placement of the
“right people in the right jobs
at the right time” for critical
talent segments.
Proactive Talent Pipelines
19
Important but Plentiful
Maintain active candidate sourcing strategy, but monitor external labor market carefully to ensure pipelines
remain strong
Critical Talent
Maintain passive candidate sourcing strategy for roles that are difficult to fill &
critical to business success
Less Critical and Plentiful
Maintain active candidate sourcing strategy
Less Critical & Hard to Fill
Consider using contractors or outsourcing these jobsIm

Difficulty Filling Positions
Global Model: Focus on “Critical Talent”
20
• Intense competition for top talent requires need to reach potential candidates earlier, before competitors begin pursuing
• Employers have decreased usage of third party job boards due to high volume of unqualified active job seekers
• Much easier to find qualified passive job seekers through social media
• Need to attract diverse candidates to remain employer of choice
• Need for organizational and talent readiness to compete in 2020 and beyond
Global Sourcing Trends
21
Talent Mapping
• Identify individuals within key talent segments at the competition
• Break down competitor org charts
• Source of competitive intelligence
Direct Sourcing
• Conduct outreach to candidates online or by phone
• Generate warm leads by creating interest in future opportunities
• Convert passive leads into active job seekers
Pipeline Development
• Create pipeline of pre-qualified candidates for key talent segments
• Maintain ongoing communication online, by phone or in person
• Opportunity to build employment brand

What Are You Solving For?

1. Sourcing Channels: Measure the number of hires by source.
2. Recruiting Efficiency: • Number of calls made compared to number of calls returned • Number of return calls compared to number of candidates developed • Number of candidates developed compared to number of candidates presented • Number of candidates presented compared to number of hires
3. Acceptance Rate: Measure offers presented divided by offers accepted.
4. Candidate Satisfaction: Use a candidate survey to measure satisfaction.
5. Manager Satisfaction: In the same vein, use a survey to measure how satisfied managers are.
6. Quality of Hire: a. Measure performance appraisal ratings three to six months into the job. Also use performance date
to determine how productive the new hire is. b. Longer term, review performance appraisals and retention rates by recruiter, source channel,
department, and hiring manager.
7. Efficiency Ratio: Measure the total direct recruiting costs divided by the total compensation of hires made (or total positions filled). This is a more accurate measurement of efficiency than cost-per-hire and takes into consideration that higher-paying positions are more costly to fill.
Metrics to Measure

What are our current & future
strategic business drivers?
How do we compete more effectively for
external talent?
How do we leverage technology & process
improvement to quantify results to
the business strategy?
What people policies will lead to a
sustainable workforce model over economic
cycles & changes in skills?
