Talent Management: A “Best-in-Class” Selection Strategy
By Dave Millner, Kenexa
One of the key issues organizations face is the ability to attract, motivate and retain their employees. Those that focus on attracting and managing talent are able to maintain and enhance the intellectual capital of their organization. They achieve this through the motivation and development of current employees and the attraction of prospective candidates. Any talent management framework or strategy needs to have a clearly defined selection strategy that aligns with the broader organizational talent demands and encourages best practice processes and procedures that ensure consistency and fair treatment of all those involved.
A selection strategy outlines key principles that should be applied to any assessment and selection process that is focused on identifying and retaining talent in an organization. If these principles are followed, they will ensure that the organization achieves its objective of hiring the best possible candidates, thus increasing the talent and capability within the organization and maintaining a positive image both internally and externally.
