Recruitment and Retention
8 out of 10 times companies choose the wrong candidate for management positions

Why is your recruitment not working?
Posting job openings. Screening applications. Doing interviews. Interviews, interviews, interviews. Hiring. Or giving up.
For decades, recruitment processes have repeated the same outworn steps, and as a result, many companies are having trouble finding the “right” employees.
Experience can only predict 6% of performance in a new job

How can I help you?
Most recruitment issues can be traced back to an outdated strategy and a misguided focus. In short: Finding (and keeping) employees for your team is often hard because you make the wrong choices.
In my speaks, I challenge you to rethink the way you see and handle recruitment to determine where your efforts lack and how to create a more prolific process.
Get a rundown of the data (not the “secret”) behind:
- why you get too few or not the right applicants for your job postings.
- the unavoidable correlation between speed of the process and quality of candidates.
- outsourcing not being the answer in most situations.
- how your unconscious bias makes you loose the best candidates.
- work environment as a pivotal factor for attracting (and keeping) high-skilled employees.
- how to get support for your recruitment strategy across the company.
Why does it matter?
Skilled employees can pick and choose between workplaces. Renewing your recruitment strategy will help you improve the number and relevance of job candidates to build an even stronger team.

No worries. These are examples, and I always tailor the speak to my client’s specific needs.
