Welcome to discovery Talent Strategies
Considering today’s competitive talent landscape, top candidates are in high demand, and companies are finding themselves investing more time and resources to attract great people. At Discovery Talent Strategies, we understand that recruiting needs can change daily (or hourly!). Through our partnership, we evolve our strategy to maximize the talent pool across your company. Our relentless and creative approach to candidate sourcing sets us apart.
A fresh approach to talent Acquisition
Talent Acquisition has changed drastically in the last several years. Gone are the days when simply posting an open job produces a sufficient pool of quality applicants. Instead, companies that get top talent are the most diligent and resourceful, catering to the needs of the candidates instead of the strict requirements of the role.
Offering a virtual approach to talent acquisition has become an expectation. Our Virtual Talent Acquisition Services (VTAS) enable our team to serve your company in the most efficient and cost effective way possible. We provide virtual talent recruiting, process outsourcing, and other customized talent acquisition consulting services.
We have refined our approach. We source, attract, qualify, and present top candidates to hiring managers and business owners. There is no magic bullet or quick fix —just diligence, speed, creativity, flexibility, and genuine care for the candidate.
Top Trends in Talent Acquisition
Over the past decade, we’ve noticed these trends that keep companies from hiring the people they need to reach their full potential.
Investing in attracting active candidates without a strategy for also finding equally valuable passive candidates
Losing great candidates by not providing engaging and attentive communication
Passing on candidates due to inflexibly on criteria
can Your Company benefit from working with Discovery Talent Strategies?
The applicants I have tend not to be a good fit.
This is not surprising, especially in areas where the unemployment rate is low. Only a tiny percentage of the job market is actively looking for a new job by visiting job boards and social media sites. Companies that only post their positions and wait for applicants are in stiff competition for the available candidates, sometimes resulting in a low volume of applicants. Discovery Talent Strategies adds proactive candidate pipelines to your talent pool using our proven method of proactive talent sourcing.
I have trouble finding the time to check in with candidates daily. Sometimes it takes a couple of days to respond to an applicant.
You are not alone, and you are not a bad manager; you are busy and can benefit from Discovery Talent Strategies taking the day-to-day burden of daily candidate communication off your plate. We promise that no candidate goes more than 24 hours without receiving a friendly and professional response; we often reach out within hours.
When I find a great candidate, they often withdraw from consideration because they find another position before completing our interview process.
Just as timely initial communication is key to engaging candidates, keeping them engaged in the interview process is also critical. Think of the interview process as a chance to build a relationship with a candidate. The more you engage with candidates throughout the process, the more likely they will be to complete the interview process or communicate with you if they find another position. It is also vital to have a process that moves quickly and easily for the candidate. Discovery Talent Strategies can help you refine and manage your current interview process to assess all the essential criteria and achieve the goals with the least number of steps possible. This approach can increase the chances of your candidates making it to the finish line.
Talent Acquisition Rooted in Industrial/Organizational Psychology
I/O Psychology is the scientific study of people in the workplace. I/O Psychology addresses many workplace issues such as recruitment, selection, learning and development, performance management, employee engagement, organizational development, and leadership development (www.apa.org).
Discovery Talent Strategies utilizes the principles of Industrial/Organizational (I/O) Psychology to guide our consulting practices and partnerships. We conduct job analysis, determine essential job criteria, develop structured selection processes, create interview guides, train hiring managers, and validate in-house assessments.
As a data-driven partner, we collect and monitor several key metrics, use root-cause analysis, and track success.
