Talent Magnets

Accordingly to international research, and our very own Dr Rhema Vaithianathan of Auckland University, New Zealand managers are amongst the worst in the world at recruiting great talent, nurturing and promoting that talent, and managing poor performance when things get sticky.  At Talent Magnet, we are committed to doing something about that.  Through our partnership approach we develop core recruitment and selection competencies in the hiring managers we work with.  In addition, we have designed offerings to support NZ managers become Talent Magnets by being better at attracting, integrating and managing talent for performance and retention.

Talent Beacons

Employer branding is getting personal.  It’s generally accepted that the number one reason most people leave their job is the relationship with their direct manager, yet this is only third on the list when they make the decision to accept the job in the first place.  Company reputation comes in at #1 and the job at #2.  We work with progressive organisations to balance the books on that score through the deliberate creation of Talent Beacons, managers and leaders who have the personal pulling power to draw in mission critical talent through their industry profile, personal reputation, acknowledged expertise and strong networks.  And the positive impact isn’t just on your employer brand!

First 90 Days

Everyone has their horror stories about botched induction and a rocky start with a new manager or team member.  The impact of getting things right in the First 90 Days, even in the days and week immediately after acceptance and before your new person starts, cannot be underestimated.  Our ‘First 90 Days’ resource centre and real world support programs load the deck in your favour with the essential social/cultural integration of a new person into your team and business, setting them up for success and optimising their performance potential.  This is a collaborative community of hiring managers who, along with our team, support each other to make the most of their recruitment investment and create great relationships that deliver results and increase retention over time.

  • More confident, capable and committed people managers
  • New sources of candidates and increased employee referrals
  • Positive impact on your employer brand and reputation
  • Increased and earlier engagement in new hires
  • Unlocking the performance potential within your managers and their people
