A good Search firm needs to understand the fundamentals of talent management. At ejsSearch we recognise the importance of recruitment, retention and development, rather than viewing the hiring of a senior person as a one-off event.

 

This embraces measurable outcomes such as:

 

Return on Investment - Measurement

• Developing meaningful measures for reviewing value for money.
• Labour turnover: voluntary versus involuntary?
• Internal promotion versus external hires?
• What is the potential cost/loss to the organisation of not doing this?

And also the processes and practices which create the environment and culture within which talent is encouraged, ensuring:

 

Return on People - Improvement 

• What do we need to do to help our people to fulfil their potential?
• What do we need to do to ensure retention of key talent?
• How effective are our processes for developing the talent of the future?

High potential individuals are always the most likely to seek control over their career path – the more so during times of uncertainty. Helping them to understand how to get the best outcome is important:

 

Return on Yourself - Engagement

• Developing a framework which supports people to better understand themselves, their aspirations and identify potential career options.

• Executive Coaching

  An executive position is both an opportunity and a challenge. Meeting the challenge, making an impact and securing wins is as much about understanding as taking action.

   

  Working with an executive coach during can significantly accelerate the executive's value in the organisation, and identifies opportunities for maximising the contribution to the strategic needs of the business. For most senior managers this is a time of adjustment as well as action, and having the time and space for reflection on what’s really required with an external sparring partner adds focus and direction.

• On-boarding

  +

  Moving into a new job represents both an opportunity and a challenge. The first hundred days are the time to take stock of the organisation from the perspective of the leader, and to ensure understanding of the new role and its boundaries.
  
  Meeting the challenge of hitting the ground running, making an impact and securing early wins is as much about understanding as taking immediate action.
