Finding the Best Talent Match-WorkPlace Group, Inc. (WPG) Executive Offers Hiring Insights on WebTalkRadio Show “Work Matters”
Florham Park, NJ, February 7, 2008: Christine Holmberg, Director of Strategic Partnership Development for the WorkPlace Group, Inc. (WPG), was recently interviewed on the WebTalkRadio show “Work Matters” hosted by Nan Russell. WPG is a Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) provider with headquarters in Florham Park, NJ.
The topic of the February 3, 2008 interview was “Finding a Match”, and Ms. Holmberg’s presentation focused on the crucial importance for companies as well as individual hiring managers to hire the right talent for their organization. The right talent, she explained, is not merely individuals with appropriate skills and education, but those whose soft skills and values mesh well with the organization and ultimately support its strategic business goals. Salient points covered included: hiring challenges, hiring tips, the value of upfront hiring analysis, and a discussion of hiring metrics, all areas where The WorkPlace Group, Inc. (WPG) offers particular expertise. Ms. Holmberg emphasized that metrics such as time-to-fill and cost-per-hire are “part of the answer, but it’s not the end all and be all” of successful hiring. More pertinent, in fact, she stated, is examining the quality of hires and the quality of the hiring process itself by assessing retention as well as initial job success based on first performance appraisals.
