A company-wide responsibility
A ttracting the right talent is essential to maintaining a competitive edge and growing your firm. The dynamics of the job market have changed dramatically over the past few years. With the rise in technology and remote work, companies face increased competition for skilled professionals. Every employee plays a crucial role in recognizing and attracting top talent, shaping company culture, and ensuring long-term business success.

To stay competitive, businesses must adopt innovative strategies that reach beyond human resources, extending the responsibility of talent acquisition and recruitment to all staff members. At TPD, our employees are our most valuable asset, so when team members from various departments engage in this process, they help identify candidates who align with the company and department culture, values, and long-term vision. THE BENEFITS. What can be gained from embracing and implementing initiatives promoting company-wide talent acquisition and recruitment? ■ Improved retention. Candidates who are referred by employees are known to have a higher retention rate. The greater the sense of belonging
for the individual, the less likely turnover will occur.
■ Higher quality candidates. Employees help tremendously when it comes to identifying candidates with culturally aligned skills and work ethic. ■ More efficient hiring. If employees are consistently engaged in talent acquisition and recruitment, the vetting process may be somewhat shortened, thereby accelerating the screening and interview process. ■ Stronger employer branding. A unified effort enhances the company’s reputation as a top employer.
