Talent is no doubt what makes an organization great, but when it comes to all of the processes and checklists for the talent lifecycle, it’s easy to find yourself going down a rabbit hole. From employer brand to performance management, and everything in between, keeping track of best practices can become a task itself. Don’t fret though, we have you covered with a little help from the pros:
The 2nd Biggest Mistake in Employer Brand – Failing to Measure Employer Brand Strength
“You must be able to show executives that when your employer branding strength goes up, proportionally so do your results in recruiting and retention. Without that correlation between brand strength and improved recruiting, executives will likely attribute the better recruiting results to some other factor, like luck or a higher rate of unemployment.” – Dr. John Sullivan, (@DrJohnSullivan)
An effective employer brand strategy attracts candidates, but how is it measured? Or how do you know it’s working? This post in ERE | Recruiting Intelligence breaks down 12 direct employer brand strength measures.
How to Avoid Hiring the Wrong Person
“Yet it’s hard to accurately vet potential candidates. Cold job interviews can be an unreliable litmus test for hiring. Even the traditional green-light for someone who’s graduated from an Ivy league school has been proven more noise than signal.” – Cooper Harris, (@CooperHarris)
Recruiting the right people is always hard because how do you know they’re really right for your organization. This post from Forbes gives a few quick strategies to use to help narrow down your pool of candidates through networking to ensure you bring on the right person for the job.

If you want to set your new team members up for success, you need to create an effective employee onboarding process that makes the transition into a new role happen smoothly, efficiently, and without any major obstacles.” – Nick Lucs, (@NickLucs)

The 5 Must-Use Steps to Successfully Conduct a Performance Review with Employees
“For many companies, the beginning of 2016 represents the middle of the fiscal year, which brings with it several measures for checking in on the success of the business to date.
