Set your company up for a promising future: put plans in place that mean you find the right talent again and again.
What is talent acquisition?
Talent acquisition focuses on developing a long-term strategy to find the right leaders and executives for your company. We take the time to understand the strategic aims of your business, providing a flexible and dynamic approach to finding candidates.
Talent acquisition helps you to find the perfect candidates for positions that require a very specific skill set, while not forgetting the importance of cultural fit. We understand the value of strong working relationships, which is why our strategy will evolve with your team. Our talent acquisition process helps to make your company an attractive place, where quality talent can thrive.
What are the benefits of talent acquisition?
You simply cannot overestimate the importance of sound leadership at the helm of your business.
That’s why talent acquisition is so vital: it makes sure you have leaders ready to step up when they’re required. These leaders will make the most important decisions as well as influencing people at every level of your organisation.
Not only will your future leaders guide your business towards greater success, but the talent acquisition strategy itself will have numerous benefits:
- Greater employee confidence in company direction
- Saves time and money by reducing risk of unsuccessful appointments
- Get ahead of rivals by acquiring the best industry talent
- Reinforced company culture
- Enhanced diversity and inclusion
All in all, well-handled talent acquisition sets your company up for a more certain, prosperous future.
How does our talent acquisition process work?
Understanding your business
Before we do anything else, we listen. We want to hear about your circumstances and your requirements. Then we can determine if your existing talent pool can help you fill any vacancies, or if you need to look outside of the business.
Job design
You’ll know where the vacancies are within your business. But you might not have such a good handle on potential skills or knowledge gaps. By designing a role carefully, we can help you get the people your evolving organisation needs.
Outlining the ‘ideal candidate’
Working closely with you, we’ll put together a profile for the perfect candidate. This isn’t intended to be a benchmark, but it helps us to identify the skills and personality traits to look for.
Attracting top candidates
We use our extensive network of contacts and best-in-class software to discover candidates who can flourish in your business – and help it flourish.
Detailed reference checks
Once you’ve interviewed candidates and made one of them an offer of employment, we carry out extensive reference checks, making sure you have the full picture of the person behind the CV.
Onboarding support
Once you’ve found the right person and offered them a role, you want to be certain they’ll have a smooth transition into that role. That’s where our bespoke onboarding services come in.

Talent acquisition, on the other hand, is the process of strategically looking for specialists, leaders, future executives, or other qualified professionals – for a specific position you anticipate needing to fill in the future. This could be part of your broader succession planning or for a specific project such as a new product launch.
