War on Talent
Description
From the business world, we increasingly hear that the "war on talent" is topical. Attracting the right talent is seen as a challenge by many parties. The figures do not lie. For example, for every 13 vacancies in the IT industry, there is only 1 Young Professional candidate available.
With every candidate, the company's starting point is a sustainable match; the "new kid on the block" stays with us for at least 3 years. However, when early dismissal occurs, companies lose money; the Young Professional chooses to do something else even before the company has recouped its investment in his/her development.
As a company, can you increase the chances of a sustainable match? Yes, but in addition to professional content and skills, you will also have to focus on an applicant's motives. And that is exactly where the problem lies. Recruiters indicate that Dutch YPs are well-trained in terms of subject matter, but often lag behind foreign colleagues in terms of personal development. It does not make it easy for businesses to also match on motives, when the applicant has never thought about this himself before.
The question companies should ask themselves is whether they are doing enough to change this? Aren't there huge opportunities for companies through Scholarships programmes to engage future talent right now? What can we learn from, for example, ASML's recruitment on this?
Eye for competence
In an interactive lecture, Glenn Weisz shares his experiences on talent development within Higher Education and the role that business MUST have in it. Using practical examples from ASML and KPN Consulting, you will receive insights into what you are already doing and can do to retain the right talents in your organisation.
Do you understand what today's top talents are about? Have you immersed yourself in them, and how will you profile yourself to bind them to you? And what role does personal leadership play in this?
