Managing the balance between organisational and individual expectations | The Talent Tightrope
Experts in talent mapping, pipelining, executive search and talent insights. Working with the world’s most influential & respected businesses undergoing transformational change, gaining market insights needed to identify & recruit specialised talent
Talent today expects a much more individual offer. Both candidates and people already in your business expect more flexibility, more autonomy and a more personalised experience.
In this video, the second in The Talent Tightrope series, Ali Rogerson, global client partner, head of the Americas, and Peter Howarth, co-managing director at Armstrong Craven, discuss how organisations can create a more individualised experience while not losing sight of the expectations of the organisation.
They offer tips for the candidate engagement, recruitment and interviewing stage plus look at how some businesses are navigating this careful balance today. As Rogerson says: “Candidates are not afraid. They're very emboldened to say what they're looking for to make sure that they get their best career match. So you have to personalise the process more in order to secure those candidates.”
