The people plan
There are increasingly encouraging signs in the global fight against Covid-19. But the future course of the pandemic remains hard to predict.
This poses critical questions for talent acquisition professionals. Success has always been about getting the right balance between people, process and technology. But how do you decide on the best configuration for your talent acquisition “machine” when the situation on the ground is changing so rapidly?
Out of 620 talent acquisition professionals we spoke to, 7 out of 10 are planning for short-term hiring only and around 30% lack a post-pandemic plan. What’s more, 3 out of 4 rate their own talent strategies as basic, meaning they make only limited use of data and technology, and are not fully integrated with business goals.
We believe the level of unpredictability today calls for a shift in talent acquisition mindset. Forget people, process and technology.
