Real World Project Management Series

This ever changing and evolving world continues to present managers and leaders with challenges.

It has become increasingly difficult to make sense of situations and circumstances, reading and understanding the ramifications and consequences that result from these seems to be harder than ever.

In short, we need to recognise that we now operate, manage and work in a highly complex environment where making the wrong call, can be costly for the organisation and not just in a financial context.

The effect on workplace morale, performance and productivity are also subject to the impacts of rapid, dynamic and mercurial reframing, reforming and the revolutionary aspects of change.

This webinar will seek to offer and equip the individual with a managers toolkit that can help steer a course through this maelstrom of what often looks like chaos without reason.

Presenter: Chris Gallagher (LinkedIn profile) Founder & Managing Director of CGA, is the founder and MD of CGA, a Procurement Portfolio Consultancy. In addition to consultancy the organization offers; Learning & Development programmes; International Development work; Strategic Planning Services and General Business Development Interventions, encompassing all aspects of Management, Leadership and Business Management.

The workplace is more demanding, more complex, more collaborative, and more diverse than it has ever been before in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. And as a talent acquisition professional you know that in order to help your organization succeed, matching the right people to the right job is more critical than ever.

But today, almost half of business executives say finding the talent they need to support long-term business strategy is a top challenge. Finding candidates who will excel in this changing environment means finding people with the right balance of hard skills and soft skills.

Depending on the job you’re hiring for, hard skills can be critically important. But across many business areas, executives are saying what they really need are candidates with strong soft skills. In fact, according to CareerBuilder, 77% of employers believe that soft skills are just as important as hard skills. And almost 20% said they are more important than hard skills.

However, assessing a candidate’s soft skills, those behavioral attributes that determine how a person interacts with other people, challenges, setbacks and opportunities, can be difficult to quantify and aren’t easily taught – especially in a changing and remote hiring environment.

Join Susan Collins (LinkedIn profile) Director of Talent Acquisition & Employer Branding at Talbots & learn how you can create a hiring strategy that identifies and rewards the right soft skills for the right job.

In addition, you’ll discover: 

•  The difference between hard skills and soft skills and why soft skills matter
•  Some of the soft skills to consider when hiring candidates for a remote-based working environment
• Ways to leverage soft skills for organizational and job fit, and
• Interviewing strategies and how online reference checking can help you find the best candidates for every role

Gain valuable tips and uncover strategies on ways to include soft skills as a part of your organizational culture and make finding top talent a cinch!

In the quest to secure your ideal candidate, the importance of a positive employer brand and company culture has never been more important. According to a Randstad US survey, nearly 9 out of 10 job seekers say they won’t apply at an organization with a negative reputation.

While there are many tactics to consider, it’s important to understand that your hiring process plays a role in how your company is perceived – including your approach to background checks.

In this live webcast event, Clare Horvik (LinkedIn profile) Sr. Contributor & Director of Marketing Verified Credentials, will discuss 9 strategies to align your background screening process with your company culture and brand.

Clare will explore where background checks intersect with various touchpoints of the job seeker-candidate-employee progression, including public reputation for job seekers and character and values perceived by employees.

At the end, Clare will connect screening touchpoints to the candidate and employee experience.

Understanding where you have opportunities to match screening to your corporate objectives is a simple way to reinforce who you are to your candidate and employees.

Here’s What You’ll Learn:

1. What screening tactics may help identify a good cultural fit
2. How you might strategically set up your program to make it appear your own
3. Key benchmarks to measure the effectiveness of your culture and brand

Walk away with a comparison chart to pinpoint strategies from the candidate, employer, and vendor perspective for better synergy with your culture and brand.
