Increase the Efficiency of the Talent Acquisition Process
Efficiency is the foundation of an effective talent acquisition process that meets the needs of stakeholders.
- It is a candidates’ market. Organizations have to fight for talent, and if the process is not efficient candidates will go elsewhere.
- The cost per hire has increased over the past few years. This means it is more important than ever that organizations get the right talent in the door the first time around, as hiring the wrong candidate will result in unnecessary costs.
