Who could do that? The Sunday Times: Talent Management

20 April 2008

In a special supplement on talent management, the Sunday Times reports practices for recruitment of talent from both within and external to the organisation.

Victoria Winkler, Learning and Development adviser at the CIPD says: “It is vital that companies consider what they think talent is and what is needed.

She continues that sharpening interviewing processes for both internal and external recruitment is part of honing the whole recruitment exercise. “Assessment centres now often help by putting candidates through live exercises. But while some candidates shine in processes like these, others don’t. You need balanced recruitment methods and they should reflect the ethos of the organisation.”
