Key challenges and keys to overcome Horder holds that one of the biggest challenges companies have , “ particularly large corporates ,” she says , “ is attempting to carry out their recruitment processes all by themselves . There is a reason why I still have my job – because it is a full time job !”
She says that an organisation can adopt the following techniques when they partner with a specialised recruitment business : n High quality candidates – whether they are passive or active n Specific market knowledge in terms of benchmarking particular roles n Customer services and building on a longer-term relationship where a partner can introduce you to future talent n Building the future – a good partner doesn ’ t just talk about the now – they futureproof what might be coming , and offer support on a longer-term All of the above are reflective to both a client and candidate and offer a great advantage of supercharging talent management .
“ Overall , these days it isn ’ t just about the money ,” says Horder . “ It ’ s about the overall package and not just about the numbers . It ’ s about the training , the team , overall progression and business culture that will attract and retain talent .” She says that internal opportunities are also a decisive factor .
“ For business in general , and perhaps now especially for procurement , for an organisation to be able to retain talent and develop internal employees in new areas , demonstrates that it values its people .”
