It’s time to examine your application experience from the candidate’s point of view. If the process is confusing or complex, today’s candidates will move on to their next option. (And they have more options than ever.)

We’ll start at the beginning and examine each step in your process from the candidate’s perspective. And we’ll identify gaps and solutions by talking with you, your hiring managers, your recent hires — and the candidates you didn’t hire.

Examples of deliverables:

• Audit of career site and/or application

• Custom assessment and practical action plan for the short- and long-term

• Candidate experience map

• Communication touchpoint review and recommendation

You can’t afford to have unfilled positions. The answer? Thinking of talent as a supply chain and creating a sustainable pipeline that produces candidates as you need them.

We specialize in helping you create an expanded and diverse pipeline that optimizes internal and external talent pools — and aligns with your business needs. Candidate profiles are just the start. We also go deep to analyze talent availability now and down the road.

But we don’t stop there. We’ll deliver creative solutions like internal mobility programs, tuition programs, and community outreach.

Examples of deliverables:

• Market availability analysis

• Optimal timing for recruiting top talent among new graduates

• Custom pipeline strategies tailored to short- and long-term hiring goals

Whether you’re starting an in-house recruiting team, expanding your scope, or looking to restructure your talent acquisition function, it’s always helpful to have an expert, outside perspective.

We’ll partner with you to define your needs and design an approach that fits your business — and grows along with it. And we’ll not only help you map out a plan, we’ll help you and your team make the changes through a training and development plan, supported by mentorship for both leaders and recruiters.

Examples of deliverables:

• Current staff and skill assessment

• Custom staffing and structure recommendation

• Action plan for meeting short-, mid- and long-term needs
