There are 3 questions which will help any business leader or senior team members involved in the hiring process to assess whether your organisation is attracting the best talent out there.
If the answer is 'No' to any or all of these 3 questions, to put it simply you're not.
1. Are the quality of the applicants responding to your advertisements stronger than the quality of people currently in your business?
If the answer to this question is No, then you will ultimately be dragging down the standard of your hires and the overall quality of employees within the business. This is a significant concern given that employees are ultimately your greatest asset as an employer.
The old adage that 'you are as strong as your weakest link' stands, but by this admission, your weakest link is only getting weaker.
It's time to act to protect your organisation, and ensure you are prepared to reach your corporate goals and budgets.
2. Are you hiring the best of the talent you are attracting?
If you believe that you are losing the best applicants to more attractive offers from competitors, or due to having a slower recruitment process, it may be appropriate to consider your processes or benefit packages in more detail.
There may be changes that can be implemented to significantly improve this.
3. Are the quality of the applicants responding to your advertisements representative of the best people out there in the market?
If you're only able to attract the best people who apply rather than the best people out there in the market, you may need to consider both your employer branding and your process for attracting and sourcing talent.
