Manpower believes that in the context of the skills needed for success changing more rapidly than ever and the need to exploit the "rough gems" increasingly urgently, it is imperative to have a more comprehensive view of the skills and abilities of candidates.
Employers can use data analysis, reviews from previous jobs (work testimonials) and evaluation tools to make better choices and explore potential talents they may have missed - this benefits businesses, the economy and society.
Here are 3 steps that organizations and businesses can take to become a talent creator.
Recruitment based on learning ability
We need to speed up the training and reskilling process for current employees to build a future- ready workforce, while attracting those who have not yet participated in the labor market.
Focusing on learning (learnability) in recruitment is the best way to prepare for all new jobs and skills that will be necessary in the coming years.
Requiring a work testimonial in the application can reveal how individuals adapt to changes, learn quickly and overcome challenges in the real environment.
Awarding opportunities based on potential capacity, not past achievements
By recruiting based on potential instead of past work experience, businesses can solve the shortage of talent, while taking advantage of unique experiences, skills and innovative thinking. Thanks to that, they can develop and promote internal personnel, saving time and recruitment costs from outside.
Regularly discuss with staff about career development
Not only do they help foster a learning culture in the business, conversations like this are directly correlated with employee cohesion and productivity. Workers often express that they will be more attached to their work if their managers regularly have conversations to share experiences about career development opportunities with them.
By encouraging and focusing on development, organizations will create a working environment where everyone participates more actively, works more effectively and focuses on personal career development.
