Hiring the best talents (and retaining them) will be more and more strategic as the talent shortage already at work will become acute... With the idea of getting a seat at the table, here’s a great way HR and talent leaders can demonstrate they are strategic: throw out your existing hiring processes and start over by implementing a process that actually raises your company’s talent level, not just sustains it.Implementing a business process that achieves this would be the ideal opportunity to demonstrate HR’s “strategicness.” The problem is that HR and talent leaders do exactly the opposite. Rather than improve quality of hire – which represents an awesome opportunity – they go out of their way to maintain their existing processes thinking that cost control and improved efficiency is a more important goal. I contend that most hiring process are designed to clone a company’s existing working, not improve it, and doing these things faster is not a strategy.
