Why applying design thinking to talent acquisition & management is a game changer
45 Mins
Talk
Intermediate
The talent war remains heated, especially for Digital and analytics talent. But a skills inventory, expanded talent pipeline and cool sourcing can only get managers so far when it comes to hiring. Hiring & retention programs need design thinking treatment — a human-centric problem-solving approach that explores a wide range of possible solutions, extensive prototyping and testing. How organizations reimagine hiring and talent management processes in an persona based talent-centric way that’s delightful is going to be the unlock. How do we make our processes and experiences engaging? We live in an experience-based world – and individual customer-centric experience has been the true driver behind massive improvements in key journeys like how we pay taxes, how we order our morning coffee, how we shop online. However, hiring people – or looking for a job- often still feels like a root canal – complicated and painful. How organizations hire and manage our technology talents will be a key differentiator.
