Recruiting Audit
Attracting the best people and developing them over the long term requires a few foundations: the right organisational structure, realistic yet competitive salary bands and practical talent management. We help you structure these topics and translate them into an actionable roadmap.
fortalent acts as your sparring partner in establishing recruiting as an effective leadership and management discipline – particularly in mid-market companies, where resources are limited and decisions quickly impact day-to-day business.
Let’s discuss your requirements
What is a Recruiting Audit?
In a strategic Recruiting Audit commissioned by senior management, we analyse the status quo of recruiting in companies with 50 to 300 employees. The focus is on strategy, execution, processes and structures, taking into account your goals as an employer of choice and current market conditions. As an outcome, you receive a structured summary and pragmatic recommendations, which you can implement yourself or with our support as part of a change project.
The key topics and KPIs we address:
- Employer value proposition
- Time-to-hire, cost-per-hire
- Talent pipeline
- How well job descriptions match the market
- Quality of personnel search and selection processes
- Impact of hiring decisions
- Closing procedures
- ATS implementation, tool landscape
- Interfaces with workforce planning
- Interfaces with talent management
- Pre-onboarding
- Employer reputation
- Compensation levels
You can expect an honest analysis and realistic recommendations. We attach great importance to constructive engagement with internal stakeholders to keep the project environment productive.
If this service is of interest, we would be happy to discuss your expectations and how we can support you in a no-obligation initial meeting.
