In a challenging hiring market, you have the power to change your approach to building your team. It starts with understanding and developing your employer brand.

“Employee experience is human experience,” says EX expert Ben Whitter. So how can you improve your EX approach to attract and retain great people? 

Meaningful work is responsible for a 55% increase in employee motivation.

As employees increasingly seek the chance to make a difference, it’s time to start thinking about the meaning your organisation can offer. Work with purpose is at the heart of any organisation committed to making this world a better place.

We are in the era of talent.

In 2023, employers have an opportunity to build an exceptional employee experience, improve engagement and reduce turnover - all while attracting the right people to join you when you need to hire.

Talent attraction is a big challenge for leaders around the world. But what if we told you there was a way to turn your organisation into a talent magnet?

According to the latest KMPG report, talent is the number-one issue keeping Australian leaders awake at night–and for good reason. Mercer forecasts suggest employee turnover in 2022 could reach 19.5%, or 2.6 million people!

Stop thinking about your people as  a workforce, and start thinking of them as a consumer base. Understand and improve your employee experience, and keep your talent. 

While talent attraction and engagement has always been a two-way street, there’s never been a more important time to be mindful about how you engage and retain your people.

Finding, attracting and engaging the best talent is critical to the success of your organisation.

Great organisations have one thing in common: they attract, engage, retain and delight high-performing, high-potential talent. 

If you’ve ever hired a contractor, you might have found the total cost per hour/day a surprise, especially if you engaged them via a recruitment agency.  

When it’s time to expand your team, you need to find the right person. It’s critical. 

Recruitment decisions are important decisions.

Hiring the wrong person can have a huge impact on productivity and morale, and that’s before you consider the time and cost of finding a replacement.

Organisations around the globe were forced into remote working at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, but at Heart Talent, we chose to work this way. 

Great recruitment is so much more than just a transaction. 

If there’s one thing we’ve learned in the past few years, it’s the importance of flexibility, especially in the workplace.

Every hiring moment is an opportunity to transform and upgrade your business. 

Please stop looking for unicorns!

Finding a unicorn has been a cliché in recruitment for a while now. Since well before the current candidate-driven, tight market.

Looking for elusive, unique talent in a challenging market isn’t a good recipe for success. You know this.

If you’ve ever thought about partnering with a recruiter, chances are you’ve considered the potential gains and potential pitfalls. 

Congratulations! Your talent and hard work are being recognised, and you have two employers who’d love you to join their team.

Here’s the thing: there are no set rules. There is no textbook. It goes without saying that someone is going to be disappointed at the end of this. For most people, this situation will feel a bit uncomfortable.
