Strategic Talent Acquisition

In the contemporary world where competition is inseparable, global enterprises are busy trying to find the blueprint for talent enhancement to combat the myriad inefficiencies all companies currently experience with their workforces. Some strategic organizations are exploring behavioral science to bridge the gap between employee performance, and behavioral/physical wellbeing to enhance their business performance and employees’ lives. Researchers and employers have noticed many employees suffer from chronic physical and behavioral disorders alongside conditions such as lack of motivation, engagement, and a sense of entitlement. Often, these workers are constantly in a state of anxiety, depression, combativeness, and fear. This inevitably reduces their workplace performance and hampers their level of engagement. As traditional solutions used in the talent management and benefits functions have not worked well enough in boosting employee engagement, companies are in need of solutions that can actually provide breakthrough results. This is where Bottom Line Results’ (BLR) 10Rule Strategy and Technology comes into play. Focusing primarily on clinical brain-mapping science and driven by a patented core metric, the offering gives companies the power to measure the brain’s cognitive root core and each employee’s performance thinking algorithms (PTAs). “Based on 15 years of R&D in clinical research on human development, BLR has developed and validated its secret sauce. The 10Rule Strategy and Technology provides the ability to scientifically measure individual PTAs in 10 minutes, then change the way an individual thinks and performs in 4-6 weeks— directly impacting each individual and ultimately the entire organization,” states Chris McSwain, the President of Bottom Line Results, LLC. The 10Rule Strategy and Technology advances workforce development to a new level by empowering, engaging, and employing the people with the best cognitive performance— fit for their job, the top performers who increase productivity and drive business results. This pioneering technology measures key behavior drivers that impact performance levels, behavioral wellbeing, and engagement. It then filters and predicts a current or potential employee’s future success with 90 percent accuracy, and can change an individual on each of these fronts within 4-6 weeks using the fully-integrated suite of SaaS-based technologies.

Reimagining Talent Management

Talent Management has evolved radically over the past few years. In 2021, the market power shifted from employers to employees. The scenario has changed in 2022 as executives today face difficulty in hiring the right talent at the right price. Given these market dynamics, businesses have increasingly valued a talent advisory firm that will invest deeply in understanding their business, operating environment, and culture. Enter Carpe Diem Global Partners—a bespoke, performance-based leadership advisory firm. Carpe Diem Global Partners is driven by the mission to reimagine the end-to-end experience clients and candidates have with talent management firms. The company drives a strong link between acquisition, retention and development. “We are not a recruiting firm and don’t hire recruiters to lead executive search engagements or leadership development services. Our partners are former business leaders that personally drive the solution focused on strategic talent initiatives for Board, C-suite, down to VP level roles,” says Jeff DeFazio, the Founder and Managing Partner of Carpe Diem Global Partners. “All of our partners have 20+ years of business and functional operating experience as an executive.” Carpe Diem Global Partners is typically hired to solve an organization’s most complex leadership challenges and create new opportunities for clients. The firm invests deeply in understanding clients’ unique business, function(s), operating environment, and culture. As a result, they are able to provide clients with end-to-end services around executive leadership from talent mapping, acquisition, leadership advisory services, executive coaching, 360 feedback, high-potential, talent review/9 box, succession planning, and team development.

Beyond Algorithms: Prioritizing Transparency in Recruitment

In the ever-evolving landscape of talent acquisition, the emergence of innovative platforms continues to reshape the way organizations identify, attract, and retain top talent. As we step into 2024, the realm of Talent Acquisition Platforms (TAPs) is witnessing a transformative wave driven by advanced technologies and evolving market demands. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are at the forefront of this revolution. TAPs are increasingly leveraging these technologies to streamline and enhance various aspects of the recruitment process. From resume parsing and candidate screening to predictive analytics for talent forecasting, AI-powered solutions are empowering recruiters to make data-driven decisions faster and with greater accuracy. However, amidst these advancements, it’s crucial to address the ethical considerations surrounding AI and data privacy. As TAPs become more reliant on algorithms to make hiring decisions, there is a growing need for transparency and accountability in the recruitment process. Organizations must ensure that their TAPs adhere to ethical guidelines and mitigate bias in candidate selection to uphold fairness and diversity. The latest trends in Talent Acquisition Platforms signify a paradigm shift in recruitment practices, driven by technology, and evolving workforce dynamics. By harnessing the power of AI, enhancing candidate experience, and embracing data-driven insights, organizations can stay ahead in the competitive talent acquisition landscape. However, it’s essential to prioritize ethical considerations and adapt to the changing nature of work to truly leverage the potential of TAPs in shaping the future of recruitment. In this edition, we have featured Leadline, Inc. While technology is crucial in solving modern challenges, the company recognizes the importance of the human touch. This is where its technology[1]based platform creates a unique niche with its distinct features, including tools for personalized communication, timely feedback, and a seamless candidate journey, setting the company apart as a recruitment solution that values the candidate’s perspective.
