Talent strategy starts with the business plan.
Talent acquisition usually begins at the requisition, long after the plan is set. WeiTA begins with the next capability your leadership or business growth needs, and brings your talent market into the room, so leaders are already in conversation with the professionals they will need. A role that has stayed open for months is a good place to start.
Where talent acquisition falls behind the business plan
Talent acquisition strategy follows the requisition.
The plan names the skills it needs a year ahead; talent work begins once each role is approved.
Time to hire stretches on niche and senior roles.
Specialist and leadership roles stay open across quarters while the plan’s milestones keep their dates.
Every role and every exit restarts the search.
Each requisition returns to portals and agencies, and the market is rebuilt from the first name.
Employer brand reaches talent through job advertisements.
Professionals hear of the organisation when a role opens, and talent leans toward employers it already knows.
Quality of hire rests on a late, filtered view.
The leaders best placed to judge see a final shortlist late, and decide under time pressure.
WeiTA designs your Talent Connect blueprint.
Each blueprint starts from the capabilities your business needs next and assembles the Talent Connect modules to deliver them.
