Participants’ Profiles (Intake 1 to 13)
Overview
Talented employees form the bedrock of organisations and ensure business success. However, many organisations pay lip service to the above statement and often overlook the importance of spotting and bringing in the right talent, by relegating the talent acquisition function to a recruitment manager armed with a standard checklist and a job description. There is no clear strategy nor is there a targeted approach to talent acquisition, other than the routine standard operating procedure (SOP).
This module aims to heighten the awareness and importance of getting the talent acquisition strategy right, with a focus on the “How Tos” of Effective Talent Acquisition. Specific areas include attraction, recruitment and selection of employees into organisations.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this 2-day module, participants will be able to:
- understand the significant role of Talent Acquisition in an era of globalisation, turbulent business environments and increased competition.
- acquire knowledge of cutting-edge practices related to talent acquisition.
- develop and administer effective talent acquisition procedures.
- experience the excitement of engaging in the war for talent.
- apply essential HR concepts, processes and techniques to organisations’ talent acquisition initiatives.
Topic/Structure
- Human Resource Planning
- Job Analysis and Design
