Recruitment & Retention


Having a strategy of Recruitment and Retention is all about knowing how to find, attract and keep hold of the talented people you need for your business. There's been a lot of discussion and debate about the changing face of the labour market, how to become "an employer of choice" and how to manage the new generation joining the workforce. To simplify matters, your Recruitment and Retention planning can be broken down into three key elements. These are finding the right people, attracting the right people and retaining the right people - all driven by your overall business strategy.

Finding the right people

What type of person are you looking for? Are there numerous similar vacancies you are currently looking to fill, or is there one particular highly skilled type of person that you need? Jo Dale Consulting will work with you to establish exactly what type of person you are looking for, and the best place to look.

Attracting the right people

Once you know who it is you are going after, how are you going to attract them to join your company? The chances are there are several other companies out there looking for the same individual, so you need to think about what it is you are selling, what it is you are offering and how you are going to close the deal! Using considerable Recruitment and Human Resource experience ranging from hiring raw graduates to head-hunting and everything inbetween, Jo Dale Consulting will work with you to ensure that you have a clear and targeted plan of action using all the resources you have available.

Retaining the right people

Finally, once you've hired the right people, the next consideration is how will you retain them? This is probably going to be the most challenging part of your resource strategy. As well as integrating retention activities into your overall plans, you will need to measure your recruitment activities to ensure you keep your finger on the pulse, know where you are losing employees - or better, where you are retaining employees - and why, and be prepared to act on the findings.
