2THE TALENT ATTRACTION INDEX

When it comes to talent attraction practices, the spread between “what is possible” and “what is being done” is wide. We’re making progress as an industry, but some organizations have adopted change and progress much faster than their peers.

What is interesting is that companies that are universally recognized as successful—due to impressive market capitalization or revenue numbers—are not necessarily at the forefront of talent acquisition practices. Companies on the Fortune 500 are lauded as the gold standard of business success, but our research in this study shows that many hiring organizations in this elite group are still relying on traditional, passive practices for attracting talent.

Others, however, have adopted more impactful recruitment marketing strategies and are a step ahead in today’s highly competitive hiring climate. This study helps identify the common patterns among these successful organizations: what they do more of, what they do better, and what marks them as winners in the talent attraction game.

3THE TALENT ATTRACTION INDEX

The scope of talent acquisition is changing. From strategic sourcing, talent networks and pipeline management, to forecasting and talent advisory, leading talent teams in every industry have embraced new practices and taken on new responsibilities, expanding their role in the organization.

The Talent Attraction Index of the Fortune 500 takes a broad snapshot of the external-facing aspects of these new practices, and isolates the trends that mature talent teams have in common. It focuses on four dimensions of talent maturity in particular:

• Employer brand presence

• Employee activation

• Team specialization

• Candidate conversion

Most companies on the Fortune 500 are established leaders in their fields, or extremely fast-growing new players who are disrupting their industry. Not all of them have made the same investments in talent acquisition, however, and many still have room to grow and mature into competitive recruiting organizations—especially on dimensions such as team specialization and employee activation. In fact, very few are uncontested leaders across all four dimensions.

This presents both a risk for companies in the lead of the Index, and an opportunity for rising actors. With this study, we highlight the trends that are common to companies who perform well on talent attraction practices, and identify the areas where there is room for growth—or for competition. We offer a rich and objective benchmark for enterprises across industries who wish to find ways to better attract, engage and retain the best people.

Why this study?

5THE TALENT ATTRACTION INDEX

The Talent Attraction Index considers measurable, external-facing practices and characteristics of the talent acquisition teams of the Fortune 500. It aggregates over 20 objective data points into scores that reflect the level of maturity of these teams across four different categories:

• Employer Brand Presence (25%) How do companies articulate their brand to candidates? How well do they take advantage of the channels available to them, and how richly do they document who they are?

• Employee Activation (25%) Do the companies leverage the voice of their current employees to bring in new ones? Do referrals contribute to filling their pipeline?

• Team Specialization (25%) What do the recruiting teams of these companies look like? How specialized are they?

• Candidate Conversion (25%) Do the companies offer a talent community or network to guide candidates to the application point? How much engagement do they generate through these networks? Do they offer a positive experience to candidates to help convert them?

The Index then adds up the performance of these companies in all 4 categories, and uses them to distribute the Fortune 500 companies into four tiers:

LIMITATIONS OF THE MODEL

HOLDING AND PARENT COMPANIES

For the purpose of this study, we define Holdings as companies that own substantial stock in multiple companies across industries (e,g, Berkshire Hathaway), and Parent companies as companies that own and operate a number of subsidiaries as separate business units (e.g. Alphabet). These holdings or parent companies do not always have the same brand recognition as their largest subsidiaries, and so they are naturally disfavored by this Index, despite being extremely successful businesses.

In addition, their recruiting teams sometimes list themselves as part of the parent company, and other times as part of one of the subsidiaries, making it impossible to apply the same scoring model to all of them.

We have adjusted the model upon which this ranking is based as much as possible to account for these outlier cases, but they should still be considered as separate from the rest of the Fortune 500 in this respect.

INTRODUCING THE TALENT ATTRACTION INDEX

7THE TALENT ATTRACTION INDEX

The Talent Attraction Index: The Results

The Talent Attraction Index ranks all 500 companies by equally weighting their performance across the 4 dimensions of the study: employer brand presence, employee activation, team specialization and candidate conversion. They are then distributed on a curve to determine where they are in their talent maturity journey: Surviving, adapting, optimizing or thriving.

As can be seen on the distribution of the scores, most of the Fortune 500 companies are at the “Adapting” and “Optimizing” stages, with less than 10% of them at the lead in “Thriving”.

THE TALENT ATTRACTION INDEX: THE RESULTS

There is a clear correlation between the investments made in the 4 dimensions of talent maturity explored by this study and the attractiveness of these companies to prospective candidates.

For instance, companies in the “Thriving” tier grew their teams 7 times more in the last 2 years, compared with companies in the lowest tier.

Another common characteristic of companies who scored well on the Index is their performance on the Fortune 500, which is an excellent indicator of financial success. The top 20 companies on the Index rank on average 57 places higher, and have gained 8 more places in the ranking than everyone else on the list.

11THE TALENT ATTRACTION INDEX

When it comes to building a brand with candidates, it’s not enough to show up. And yet, a strong insight from the “Employer Brand Presence” category metrics is that most companies on the fortune 500 treat branding like a box to check, giving a decided advantage to the few who choose to go further.

OPPORTUNITIES FOR DIFFERENTIATION

A vast majority of the Fortune 500 have an established presence in three of their candidates’ favored job search channels–their own careers site, LinkedIn and Glassdoor–but not all of them have put in the same amount of effort in leveraging those channels.

Some of the companies on the Index have documented their company life and culture on LinkedIn at much greater detail than others, for instance, with the result being a more informative experience for the candidate.

Another example of this spread is the Glassdoor review scores of the Fortune 500. At 3.45, the average Glassdoor score of the Fortune 500 is higher than the 3.3 global average, but only just. The spread among today’s most successful businesses is heavily skewed toward the tail end, with 91% of companies scoring below 4 stars.

12THE TALENT ATTRACTION INDEX

Companies focus on Linkedin, as it’s highly editable and easy to navigate for candidates. When used well, Linkedin can be a powerful branding platform for the employer. However, a company’s Glassdoor page contains far more employee—and candidate—generated content than the website or the LinkedIn landing page, and therefore can strongly influence the authenticity and believability of the company’s image.

Almost all the Fortune 500 companies have a dedicated careers site, and all but one have a LinkedIn landing page and at least some basic content in each one of its sections.

In almost all careers sites, visitors can find a mission or values statement that gives information about what matters to the organization, and helps candidates build a better sense of the employer brand. Those are necessary pieces of the overall brand, but not where differentiation happens.

NOTABLE BEST PRACTICES

Targeted subsections in the “Life” section of the LinkedIn landing page make it easier for different candidate populations to find the information they need. However, many companies seem to stop at the most obvious categories, such as “Students” or “Diversity and Inclusion”.

The real opportunity lies in going a layer deeper in the targeting of these pages, by calling out specific candidates personas based on their niche professional skills, for instance.

Page 15: Talent Attraction Index · grow the candidate pipeline through direct referrals and word of mouth. And yet, few companies in the Fortune 500 are leveraging employee advocacy in recruitment

15THE TALENT ATTRACTION INDEX

The voice of current employees is one of the most powerful aspects of a differentiated employer brand strategy. Employee activation enables teams to infuse their messaging with authenticity, and to grow the candidate pipeline through direct referrals and word of mouth. And yet, few companies in the Fortune 500 are leveraging employee advocacy in recruitment marketing.

EMPLOYEES’ VOICES: A MAJOR MISSED OPPORTUNITY

The Talent Attraction Index focuses on two aspects of employee activation: employee testimonials and referrals. Simple and honest quotes from employees are an easy place to start for companies looking to add authenticity and depth to their image, especially since it looks like only 18% of companies in the Fortune 500 do so.

Prospective employees don’t want to hear from marketers - they want to hear from their peers. Companies who don’t use employee testimonials on their LinkedIn landing page miss out on this opportunity, and might be losing candidates to competitors who are better at communicating the different aspects of their culture through the voice of their employees.

NOTABLE BEST PRACTICES

In the context of talent acquisition, employee activation can take multiple forms:

• Inviting employees to candidate events, providing candidates with direct interaction, and helping hiring managers with the vetting process

• Asking employees to mentor interns or participate in internal retention programs

• Gathering information from current employees on the best way to attract candidates with similar skills

• Giving employees the tools and platforms necessary to organically share their experience, through blogs, reviews, conferences and external events.

Referral programs are another major aspect of employee activation, and can be launched and managed efficiently with the recruitment tools available today. The best scoring companies in the Index all tended to use at least some of those techniques to involve current employees in their talent attraction activities.

REFERRALS INDUSTRY BENCHMARKS

Referrals are an incredibly effective source of hires. According to one study, referrals were the source of only 2% of applications but were responsible for 12% of hires in 2017. In addition, they were documented as resulting in higher quality hires, lower cost, and better performance and fit.

Despite these positives, not all companies have invested in deploying efficient referral programs. Below is a benchmark of the percentage of interviews sourced from referrals by industry, according to Glassdoor data.

TEAM SPECIALIZATION

One of the most striking results from this study is the generalized lack of specialization of the recruiting teams in the Fortune 500. According to data collected from LinkedIn on profiles and job titles, these teams are made up mostly of generalist recruiters and recruiting leaders, with almost half the specialized staff being made up of TA coordinators.

LOW SPECIALIZATION ACROSS THE BOARD

These organizations have only a small proportion of specialized recruiting team members–between 9% and 13% of the total recruiting staff– no matter their size.

20THE TALENT ATTRACTION INDEX

This is a strategic gap for these companies, given the advantage held by specialized teams over the competition:

• The top 10 most specialized companies in the ranking average 17% 2-year trailing employee growth. That’s more than 3 times the 5% averaged by the rest of the Fortune 500.

• The top 10 most specialized companies in the ranking also average higher Glassdoor reviews, at a 3.85 average review score.

A few select companies in the Fortune 500 have specialized teams, but on average these teams are mostly made up of generalists, especially if coordinator roles are removed from consideration. For example, fewer than 1% of recruiters are employer branding or recruitment marketing specialists.

WHAT DRIVE SPECIALIZATION?

Some industries tend to have a higher percentage of specialized recruiters to generalists. Media, Retail, and Technology, for instance, are 3 to 4 times more specialized than Business Services or Telecommunication recruiting teams, but even these industries are not as specialized as they could be.

WHAT A SPECIALIZED TEAM LOOKS LIKE

The study focuses on 4 of the most common specialized functions in talent acquisition, but many of the better performing teams have even more: Recruiting operations, talent technology and innovation, talent analytics, diversity hiring, events, campus recruiting… all of which contribute to the performance of the talent team.

25THE TALENT ATTRACTION INDEX

It takes a lot to get a candidate from interested to applied. Despite all the work spent on articulating a compelling value proposition or showcasing a work culture that’s right for them, the most critical aspect of the candidate journey is often simply finding the right job.

NO CLEAR PATH TO THE FINISH LINE...

Candidates rarely come to a company’s careers site with all the information they need to take action. Even when they do, they often still need time to fill out an application, or build a tailored resume. That’s why most candidates usually engage with the company for some time before applying—or why they end up dropping out of the process entirely.

However, the data collected in the study shows that many Fortune 500 companies do not offer the opportunity for candidates to engage outside of submitting an application. Of the 500 companies, only 37% have a talent network, and only 8% sent more than one email for a month after registering on them.

Most send out a confirmation or welcome email, but not much more—and miss out on the opportunity to connect with candidates who aren’t ready to apply, or who didn’t see a job they thought they were a fit for, or who simply got distracted. Considering the amount of resources employers invest in getting their jobs in front of candidates, this is an alarming gap.

...DESPITE A GOOD START TO THE JOURNEY.

Almost all companies on the Index offer a good starting point to the candidate journey, with documented careers sites, searchable job directories, as well as job postings on external channels such as LinkedIn.

But checking these boxes is table stakes in today’s market. In order to convert, candidates need engagement and nurturing beyond those starting points. For anyone not willing to immediately start a job application, an alternative path is to subscribe to the company’s talent network. With only 37% of companies offering that option, many would-be applicants end up trickling out of the funnel or losing interest in the prospective employer.

27THE TALENT ATTRACTION INDEX

NOTABLE BEST PRACTICES

The standards in careers sites experiences may have improved, but candidate nurture and conversion strategies are still far behind, especially when it comes to talent networks.

Even among companies who do communicate with candidates after sending them a welcome message, most only send selections of jobs tailored to the candidate’s background. One company sent out over 70 emails in a month, completely defeating the relationship-building purpose of the talent network.

Fewer than ten companies made an effort to truly engage their candidates, contacting them via both email and SMS, and sending varied content such as event invitations, tips for interview preparation, or information about the company’s benefits.

Checking the “talent network” box is not enough to stand out. Nurturing candidates who are not applying yet can be the differentiator that a team needs to compete with more established players, especially in industries where it’s not yet common practice.

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE TALENT ATTRACTION INDEX

EMPLOYER BRAND PRESENCE

The Employer Brand Presence category was dominated by technology companies, many of which have a strong consumer brand to lean on, but not all. Beyond their brand, the companies below also have higher Glassdoor reviews and more richly documented pages on LinkedIn than the rest of the Fortune 500.

EMPLOYEE ACTIVATION

The ranking in the Employee Activation category was driven by two factors: the participation of employees in sourcing candidates through referrals, and the presence of employee testimonials on the companies’ LinkedIn pages.

TEAM SPECIALIZATION

The Team Specialization category showed a significant spread among the companies in the Fortune 500, and highlighted an important gap for companies who are considered leaders in their space. The advantage conferred by specialized teams means they are able to fuel much faster growth for their companies, and to pose a serious threat to even the most established incumbents.

CANDIDATE CONVERSION

The Candidate Conversion category looks at how well companies leverage their talent networks to engage with candidates who are not ready to apply yet, as well as other aspects of the journey that help candidates find the right job and apply.

It is one area of talent attraction where the vast majority of Fortune 500 companies still have a long way to go, either from lack of proper tools to build engaging journeys, or from a lack of specialized staff that is able to effectively use these tools.

WHAT INDUSTRIES PERFORMED BEST ON THE TALENT ATTRACTION INDEX?

It is necessary to look at the data provided by this study through an industry lens, as industry might be the strongest driver of the requirements placed on the talent acquisition team, even before size. Some sectors and industries are more driven by volume or seasonal hiring, where others are mostly concerned with specialized talent. Some industries are culturally more open to competitive job-hopping while others tend to nurture and grow talent internally for longer periods of time.

The following shows the best performing industrial sectors across all four maturity dimensions, as well as on the overall ranking.
