Identifying the type of talent we need and engaging it in uncertain times

We are witnessing a shift in the relationship between companies and their professionals. Companies no longer choose people; instead, people choose companies. Employees and job candidates are now more demanding and inquisitive, and they behave similarly to clients, consumers, or citizens. Because of this, attracting talent is becoming a problem for many organizations’ medium-term sustainability.

Hiring the right professionals is key to transforming companies in an evolving world, and building a solid company brand can help. To do this and overcome this looming challenge, HR teams must incorporate skills similar to those found in communications and marketing.
