Attraction & Retention of Talent

Attracting and retaining the best talent can be one of an organisation’s best competitive advantages.

Often companies are in competition for the best people and either struggle to attract the number and/or calibre they require, or to retain them for the long-term.

We have deep understanding of the factors that attract talent and generate loyalty and long service. We also have experience of working with organisations to help them develop their attraction and selection processes with dramatic impact on their ability to recruit top talent.

In one example a company’s growth rate was being constrained by the number of top quality technical graduates they could attract. Within 12 months, the company had more applications from Oxford and Cambridge engineers than any other company in the world.

In another example a company was struggling to attract graduate engineers following divestiture from a major global oil company with a worldwide recruitment programme. Within 6 months the company was attracting higher calibre graduates that it had ever received before.

We also have in-depth knowledge of what drives engagement and retention of employees and have helped numerous organisations transform this over the years – resulting in not only retaining their talent but also maximising their engagement and impact on the business as well as their growth and ability to add value.
