For employers that want to attract and hire the best employees, flexibility is more than value added; it’s a must. In today’s challenging job market – and amid a post-pandemic remote and hybrid workplace – strong candidates are often weighing multiple offers. Those that promise the ability to work how, when, and where they prefer will have the upper hand.
In the same way, good recruiting agencies are becoming more flexible in the ways they deliver hiring and HR services. A great example is Alaant’s Talent Acquisition Partnerships, which are being increasingly utilized by organizations seeking a competitive advantage in the current work environment.
Using TAPs to crush hiring
As the name implies, Talent Acquisition Partnerships are an excellent solution for finding and hiring top professionals. A big part of the reason is flexibility: companies can use TAPs to deliver dedicated help to an existing HR team, or to execute the entire hiring process for those without that function. In either case, Alaant’s experts work closely with organizations, either on site or remotely, to understand and address their hiring needs.
TAPs are particularly effective when help is needed for a designated window of time. For instance, as companies experience a sudden hiring surge, they can use TAPs to quickly ramp up their hiring process. Then, as positions are filled, the engagement can be wound down as appropriate. That flexibility can make a huge difference in meeting hiring goals.
The benefits of TAPs go beyond hiring
In addition to hiring, TAPs can be used for many different components of the hiring and onboarding lifecycle. Again, the key word is flexibility in assisting companies to tackle a variety of tasks.
With TAPs, organizations gain access to years of proven experience and expertise. Alaant’s exceptional team is well-equipped to provide a range of services, including sourcing and identifying passive candidates; pre-screening candidates to ensure they meet the requirements of a position; interviewing active candidates; and helping with larger-scale HR functions, such as career fairs and hiring events.
And, as the workload on every HR department continues to grow, TAPs can be used to provide administrative and operational support related to hiring and onboarding. From scheduling interviews and initiating pre-screening elements, such as drug or background checks, to checking references, auditing application records, and maintaining employee documents, TAPs can complete essential work while freeing up an existing HR team.
Best of all, Alaant’s Talent Acquisition Partnerships enable companies to build a budget, keeping expenses not only under control, but often lower than a traditional arrangement.
TAPs may be the perfect solution in today’s difficult recruiting and HR environment. Is your curiosity piqued? Contact us today and let’s get the conversation started!
