attracting top talent with key skills.
So how do we find, attract and
recruit that top talent?
1.Sourcing
2. Talent Attraction
job postings

employer brand
SOURCING IS LIKE FISHING
TALENT ATTRACTION IS LIKE CASTING A NET

ADDED BONUS? FACILITATES SOURCING
BUT WHAT IF YOUR BRAND ISN’T STRONG?
OR YOU’RE ATTRACTING THE WRONG TALENT
OR YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU’RE DOING
of recruiters don’t understand
their own employer brand.
