How WeiTA works

Talent acquisition starts when the need does. WeiTA starts before it.

WeiTA brings your talent market into the room. It builds your organisation's standing talent ecosystem around the capability your business needs next, keeps it engaged all year, and turns that engagement into results you can count every month.

The model

The WeiTA ecosystem

Your organisation

AttractCapability intelligence

Capability mapped before the requisition exists.

WeiTA identifies the capability your business needs next, maps where it sits, and builds your organisation's standing talent ecosystem around it.

The mechanics
↗Capability Mapping

A live map of where the skills your plans need sit today: organisations, cities, levels.

↗Ecosystem building

Relevant professionals, engaged before any role opens.

↗Capability insight

Professionals understood through the work they have built and led.

EngageLeadership engagement

Leaders engage the market directly.

A year-round calendar keeps professionals close to your leaders, and the Talent Connect room brings them together.

Engagement formats
↗Leadership AMAs

Your leaders answer professionals' questions on strategy, technology and growth.

↗Build Days

A full working day on a live business problem, built together.

↗Talent Connect Room

One day of direct engagement between your leaders and selected professionals.

ConvertDecision conviction

One day of direct engagement in place of weeks of serial panels.

Leaders decide with conviction. Professionals gain real business challenges, access to senior leaders and a clear view of the organisation. They join, advise or return, and every requirement starts warmer.

Business outcomes
↗Time to decision

Measured against your own baseline from the start.

↗Offer-to-Join

Professionals stay engaged from offer to first day.

↗Monthly results

Hires, professionals engaged and talent pool ready, reported every month.

Frequently asked questions

What does WeiTA do for our organisation?

WeiTA brings your talent market into the room. It builds and runs your organisation's standing talent ecosystem, keeps it engaged all year, and brings it together with your leaders whenever a capability is needed.

How is this different from an agency or an RPO?

WeiTA builds a talent ecosystem your organisation owns and engages ahead of any need, then convenes it with your leaders in the Talent Connect room. Each engagement leaves the ecosystem stronger for the next.

How soon do we see results?

The first Talent Connect room can run within 15 days. Results are reported every month against your own baseline.

Who owns the talent ecosystem?

Your organisation. WeiTA builds and runs it, and your organisation sees the attraction and the engagement on WeiTA's platform at all times.

How do we start?

Share the capability your organisation needs next. The first conversation sets the scope.
