And it\u2019s why talent acquisition is so important to the success of a professional services firm. Finding, attracting, and keeping good talent can make or break a services organization.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s an old saying about professional services: \u201call your assets walk out the door every night.\u201d And that\u2019s also true. Expertise is your product and it\u2019s all you have to sell. Without the right expertise, your company cannot attract and retain clients. The right people provide you with a competitive advantage and can put you on the road to success and profitability. Just as important, great talent tends to attract more great talent.<\/p>\n<h2>The Difference Between Talent Acquisition and Recruiting<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s not uncommon to confuse talent acquisition and recruiting \u2014 and that can be a mistake for a professional services firm. The difference is significant. Talent acquisition is a long-term strategy that identifies and addresses business goals, while recruiting is simply the process of filling a specific position or positions to address more immediate needs.<\/p>\n<p>Talent acquisition is about identifying talent in the marketplace and building a pool of potential candidates, sometimes to fill expertise needs that aren\u2019t even requirements yet. Talent acquisition is proactive while recruitment is reactive.<\/p>\n<h2>10 Elements of an Effective Talent Acquisition Strategy<\/h2>\n<p>To be effective, a talent acquisition strategy must have the full support of your firm\u2019s leadership and complement your overall business strategy. To accomplish that, you\u2019ll need to understand what talents will be required at various stages of business growth and establish a process to attract and engage the requisite talent when needed.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s walk through the 10 key elements of an effective talent acquisition strategy:<\/p>\n<h4><strong>1. Research<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>It\u2019s crucial to roll up your sleeves and do some original <a href=\"https:\/\/hingemarketing.com\/library\/article\/hinges_professional_services_guide_to_research\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">research<\/a> on your market to determine what\u2019s important to new hires. What motivates the best candidates to choose one firm over another? Is it corporate culture? The workplace environment? The benefits? What will give you a competitive advantage? Often the nature of the work and the caliber of colleagues are key.<\/p>\n<div class=\"cta-link\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/hingemarketing.com\/library\/article\/hinges_professional_services_guide_to_research\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Download the Professional Services Guide to Research<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h4><strong>2. Your employer brand<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Nobody likes working for a lousy boss. How current employees feel about the workplace environment and firm leadership will go a long way in helping \u2013 or hindering \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/hingemarketing.com\/blog\/story\/brand-positioning-strategy-for-the-professional-services\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">how you position your company<\/a> to attract new talent. Your employee brand must be consistent with your overall brand. If your organization has, say, a fun, creative reputation your employee brand better have an equally fun and creative vibe to support and reinforce your firm\u2019s brand.<\/p>\n<div class=\"see-also-link\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/hingemarketing.com\/library\/article\/employer-branding-study-second-edition-executive-summary\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">See also: Employer Branding Study, Second Edition<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h4><strong>3. <a href=\"https:\/\/hingemarketing.com\/blog\/story\/messaging-architecture-for-the-professional-services\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Messaging<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>What <a href=\"https:\/\/hingemarketing.com\/blog\/story\/elements-of-a-successful-brand-8-messaging\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">specific messages<\/a> do potential hires need to hear to seriously consider working at your firm? What are the concerns or objections typically raised by candidates with the talent and skill sets you\u2019re looking for? Are you and your company positioned to successfully address and overcome them? What evidence do you need to be able to present to support your argument?<\/p>\n<h4><strong>4. Your Website<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>These days, <a href=\"https:\/\/hingemarketing.com\/blog\/story\/is-your-website-scaring-away-top-talent\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">your website<\/a> is the first place candidates are likely to go to learn more about your firm and attempt to determine if it\u2019s a good fit for them. They\u2019ll not only be looking for information about specific positions but to gain a better understanding of your culture and what it\u2019s like to work there. Does your website reflect a place where employees are encouraged to learn and grow? Does it represent both your overall brand and employee brand and convey key messages that promote and reinforce them? Your website can be an effective centerpiece for your talent acquisition strategy if it\u2019s optimized for online search, incorporating keywords best associated with the types of talent you\u2019re looking to attract.<\/p>\n<div class=\"cta-link\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/hingemarketing.com\/library\/article\/the_lead_generating_website_guide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Download the Lead Generating Website Guide<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h4><strong>5. Social Media<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>There is no question <a href=\"https:\/\/hingemarketing.com\/blog\/story\/the-power-of-employees-on-social-media-for-b2b-organizations\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social media<\/a> is the place many people turn to get what they perceive to be honest and accurate information about any number of subjects \u2014 and to see who is driving conversations on various platforms. Many firms use LinkedIn and Twitter for business development and Facebook to convey their culture. In fact, research we conducted on high-growth, high-value professional services firms in the course of writing our book, <a href=\"https:\/\/hingemarketing.com\/library\/article\/spiraling_up_create_a_high_growth_high_value_professional_services_firm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Spiraling Up<\/a>, revealed that high-growth companies are more likely to rely on online recruiting than more traditional approaches for talent acquisition.<\/p>\n<p>That why it\u2019s important to cultivate positive engagements on social media and regularly share your firm\u2019s expertise there. Sharing expertise and providing something of value not only attracts new clients, it also helps land highly qualified prospective employees.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>6. Visible Expertise\u00ae<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>To ensure that your firm\u2019s expertise gets recognized by the right people, it needs to be visible. That means exposing it to the right audience through speaking, writing, blogging, and opening dialogs through various channels. It\u2019s what we call becoming a <a href=\"https:\/\/hingemarketing.com\/blog\/story\/the-visible-expert-how-ordinary-professionals-become-thought-leaders\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Visible Expert\u00ae<\/a>. It\u2019s a valuable, effective way to develop new business and recruit new talent. Encouraging staff to become more visible helps the individual and the firm by fostering an environment that supports learning and growth. That kind of proactive, nurturing environment also acts as a powerful incentive for prospective talent to join your team.<\/p>\n<div class=\"cta-link\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/hingemarketing.com\/library\/article\/the-visible-expert\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Download the Visible Expert Book<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h4><strong>7. Awards and Recognition<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>While having a positive culture and policies in place that can help recruit the best talent does not guarantee that those features will be readily apparent. Prominently displayed recognition or awards from objective third parties, however, can help overcome those limitations. For example, it\u2019s one thing to say your firm is a great place to work. It\u2019s quite another to have an award from a respected industry association or publication that touts your company as a Best Place to Work.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>8. Talent Evaluation<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve attracted talent, how will you evaluate it? Evaluating talent can be challenging because there may be a variety of criteria, some of which can be conflicting because of things such as short-term and long-term needs. What may not be all that important right now may be crucial down the road, so be aware of future potential as well as current, relevant skills and experience. Don\u2019t forget any applicable current and future regulatory requirements, depending on your industry and timing.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>9. Promotion<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Once you determine what expertise you\u2019re going to promote, you\u2019ll need to figure how you\u2019re going to promote it. How will you make your firm and your experts visible? Of course, there\u2019s no shortage of paid recruiting sites. But think larger. Try exploiting social media not only to recruit for a vacant position, but to build awareness and appreciation for your unique expertise, work environment, and value. Make a clear case for why the best talent would want to work at your firm.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>10. Policy Alignment<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>After addressing the previous nine key elements to a successful talent acquisition strategy, don\u2019t get caught between your desired culture and your formal policies. Do you have policies in place that make your firm a great place to work? Are they at odds with your strategy? Do your policies encourage your staff to share their expertise and become more visible or do they actually discourage it? How much flexibility is there? Policy alignment is critical for creating and supporting the kind of corporate and employee brands that attract top talent.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>A Final Thought<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Talent acquisition is central to the success of most professional services firms. It\u2019s unlikely that your firm will attain its true potential unless you have a proper, proactive talent acquisition strategy in place. The ten key elements we discussed here provide the framework that will make your strategy as effective and efficient as it can be.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You often hear that professional services are \u201call about the people.\u201d That\u2019s true.
