Resourcing Talent
Introduction.
It is essential for every organisation to understand the recruitment trends as by attracting the best talent, organisations will have an advantage over their competitors. When talent planning, organisations should promote a career opportunity, not a job opportunity as this gives a whole new outlook to any potential employee.
The CIPD defines talent as those individuals who can make a difference to organisational performance either through their immediate contribution or, in the longer-term, by demonstrating the highest levels of potential.

1.3 Three factors that affect an organisation’s approach to recruitment and selection.
Skills.
It is important to identify the skills needed for new roles. This can be done by creating a job description for the role in questions. Furthermore, an organisation can identify, through the job description, whether the skills already exist within the organisation or if it is necessary for external recruitment.
Cost.
Recruitment can be a very costly exercise, especially if not done correctly. It is therefore important to have a recruitment plan in place. A company has to first identify if it wants to promote from within or recruit externally. Does the company want to take on the recruitment procedure itself or use an employment agency? Ensuring that the correct message is put across can eliminate the need for second interviews as the criteria would have been specified in the requirements.
Supply and demand.
There is a large supply and demand for employees in the care sector. Being able to anticipate the need for staff plays a large part in how a company approaches recruitment. To attract new talent, an organisation may decide to include training as part of the induction process or alternatively, may seek to recruit from European countries to meet the high demand of staff required.
2.1 Identify the benefits of three different recruitment methods.
Job adverts.
Advertising is the most popular way of recruiting.
A job description is a written summary of the responsibilities related to a specific job and the skills and knowledge necessary for discharging those responsibilities effectively. The job description becomes a handy resource for human resource professionals and departmental heads when recruiting new people to fill in vacancies as well as for the purpose of evaluating performance. The job description is also an important component of the job specification, a document that includes task requirements as well as a profile of the ideal person for the job (Cascio 2003, p. 160).
Once we understand requirements for the position, then next step is to define ways of meeting those needs. It includes the amount of resources and authority the position provides to fulfill the business need. A job description can be as simple as a list of tasks required by the individual holding the position. Formal job descriptions will include level of responsibility, expected outcome, including reporting line and other interactions. Once expectations, and means of attaining expectations are documented, then sketching ideal candidate will become easier.
Talent is a recurring pattern of thought, feeling or behaviour that can be applied productively.
The charity I work for is committed to involving people who use the care and support services in recruitment. The level of active participation and involvement will be determined by the individuals themselves with support from their current support staff and manager. The right person for the job will be recruited, ensuring they best fit the necessary skills, knowledge, expertise and qualifications as set out in the person specification and
After reviewing Chern’s business strategies and competitive advantages our here are four recommendations to create a more formal talent philosophy.
Once Job Analysis is complete, the next step is to define the responsibilities of the candidate to meet the needs of the position. Job description is basically a list of the tasks required of the employee holding the particular position defined in the job analysis. A Complete job description will include level of responsibility and the expected outcome. Once these attributes are defined and documented, finding the ideal candidate will become easier and more precise.
At worst this may contravene legislation that exists to protect individuals from discrimination. Other prejudices may be generated by particular organisational traditions regarding the ‘type of person’ considered suitable. However, it is important to ensure that the qualities of the successful applicant match what the organisation requires, perhaps in terms of being forward looking, customer focused or market orientated. It is easy to discriminate in the recruitment and selection process through personal responses and reactions to certain types of people. The recruiter 's perception is often influenced by striking characteristics or similarities to themselves. This is called the ‘halo’ effect and can work in either a positive or negative direction (the latter is sometimes called the ‘horns’ effect). The halo effect acts as a filter to any information that contradicts first impressions. For example, someone who attended the same college or university as the recruiter would be at an advantage, while a person not wearing a suit would not be management material. It is often the case that people judge more favourably those individuals with whom they have something in common. Ultimately, you are seeking the best person for the job and any discrimination, intentional or not, may prevent you from achieving that.
To identify and assess at least 4 factors that affect an organisation’s approach to attracting talent
While it is certainly important to acquire new talent for the organization, it is worthwhile investigating what talent is already available within the organization and if these can be used

There are many different factors that affect organisation’s approach to attracting talent. One factor is an expansion of the organisation. When an organisation expands, planning is vital as they do not want to end up with too much knowledge and skills in one area while not enough in another.
Organizations are constantly looking for ways to improve existing talented employees and recognize future ones, human capital who will support their structural plan. Talent Pipeline is a collection of experienced applicants who is ready to take up the responsibilities of vacant positions at the executive level as well as other crucial positions. The variety of positions will require distinct talent and awareness. Talent can be an organization’s greatest asset or liability. The good news is that whether it is entirely within management’s control. PricewaterhouseCoopers’, retrieved from https://www.pwc.com In order to keep the pipeline overflowing with the various talents, the organization obligation is to create a platform
People are at the heart of every company, be it a large corporation with thousands of employees worldwide or a small, family-owned business that just opened its doors. People pioneer ideas, solve problems, and take care of the customer. As such, it comes as no surprise that one of the biggest challenges for every company is finding and recruiting top talent. With a new generation entering the workforce, employers are forced to be more creative in their recruiting methods in order to meet the different priorities and expectations of the new generation.
Internal recruitment can be done relatively cheaply and quickly; the vacancy can be advertised through staff notice boards, company intranet or company-wide emails.
In this rapidly changing era, not only leaders but also ordinary employees are facing fierce competitions in their own field. As the result, for the organizations and world entrepreneurs, in order to gain and sustain their competitive advantages in today’s complex and volatile international environment and achieve success, they should be more open-minded to accept new thoughts of talent spotting instead of still indulge in the old days’ success. They need to adapt to the technological change and meet market demands by reshaping their skills and competencies, and thus improve their levels of leadership. On the other hand, it is very necessary for the job seekers to understand and acquire skills that are expected from the employers. Because that’s the most effective way for them to achieve success in their career.
