TALENT ACQUISITION
Defining the Position
Advertising the Job
Screening Applications
Interviewing Candidates
Validating Work Experience
In most SMEs, filling a vacancy is seen as a single activity. However, best practices for talent acquisition consist of a series of steps broadly divided into the following stages:
1. Pre-Hiring – Mindset change
2. Hiring A – Sourcing and aligning the processes
3. Hiring B – Selection process
4. Post-Hiring – Onboarding & integration
The above steps should include cultural diversity integration policies and processes across the whole talent acquisition process. The analysis and steps outlined below refer to hiring immigrant talent in small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs). These steps serve as guidelines and a checklist for hiring immigrant talent.
