Critical skills, experience, attitudes and aptitudes
The bulk of corporate value is driven by a few key roles in each organisation. Some of these roles are instrumental in the strategic process of identifying opportunity and others are fundamentally important to enable your business to size the very same. To have the right talent in these roles is mission critical. To identify the right talent, it is paramount to analyse first what the critical skills, experience, attitudes and aptitudes are to maximise the value creation lever of the particular role.
Assessment
We focus on a skills first search process, in contrast to only identifying individuals in a similar role at a competitor. According to Bain & Company, skills-first criteria are five times more predictive of future performance than educational background and two and a half times more predictive than experience. Psychometric assessment offers additional insight and can flag derailment risk.
Market data
Each search process will offer you a window into the external talent market. Throughout the mapping, approach and assessment stages we collect a raft of information which will give you key insights into the talent market and your business. We will continuously share these data points with you and use them as a basis to adjust the approach if needed.
