Editor's Notes
- Various divisions were starting to ask for talent at a much faster rate than we could deliver. And the quality of applicant applying to our jobs simply didn’t have enough depth. Even being a well-known brand, we weren’t seeing exceptional talent “knock down our door” as much as we would like – forcing to us post the job longer and sometimes settle for a weak batch of applicants. If we can’t deliver top talent to our hiring managers, there was fear of what might happen to our department?

- Hiring manager assumptions may be incorrect – key characteristics of person for the role, labor market trends, and from where to source, effectively. Satisfaction is important, but we need to make an impact and challenge the status quo. Constant pipelining of talent, especially for harder-to-fill roles, is an absolute must. Your TALENT competitors are starting to invest.
