Too Much Opportunity!
WRC Director
OMG,
This is MY
Problem!
![Page 13: InterSystems Global Summit 2011 Presentation: Attracting, Hiring and Keeping Top Talent](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051514/549b0e5db479590b098b4698/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Realization of My Problem
• Recruiting is Recruitment’s Job
• They Never Present Top Talent
• People Must Want to Work for Us
• Don’t They Understand That I’m Very Busy?
![Page 14: InterSystems Global Summit 2011 Presentation: Attracting, Hiring and Keeping Top Talent](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051514/549b0e5db479590b098b4698/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Step 0 - Understanding
• I Took Recruitment Under My Wing Temporarily
• I Spoke with Other Managers
• I Thought About What to Do
![Page 15: InterSystems Global Summit 2011 Presentation: Attracting, Hiring and Keeping Top Talent](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051514/549b0e5db479590b098b4698/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Step 0 - Understanding
1. I Must Explain What I Want
2. I Must Understand What Recruitment Does
3. I Must Address the Process Bottlenecks
4. I Must Use Rejections to Learn and Improve
5. I Must Understand the Candidate’s Experience

Traits of Top Talent
