The Hive enabled us
to peel back some of the
complexities of each tech
solution and hone in on
the key differentiators
and unique features of
each solution, to identify
the one that would best
suit our new platform. We
found the solutions to
be uncomplicated and
effective – mirroring one
of our company’s key
values: ‘Keep it simple’.
Under the guidance
of Pag Miles, global
head of partnerships
at Alexander Mann
Solutions, we attended a
number of events where
“Much has been
written about
candidate
experience, but
what makes it
possible to create
a better experience
is the ability
to listen”
partners within The Hive
demonstrated their
specific capabilities.
There was no hard sell
and, in the end, we opted
to push ahead with one
solution, ‘Qlearsite’,
which became our new
holistic global
engagement platform.
I am delighted to report
that we have developed
a fantastic partnership
with Qlearsite, which
understands our unique
needs and partners with us
to ensure these are met in a
straightforward and
user-friendly way for
our people and teams.
our organisational fitness
survey to map employee
engagement across 17
different countries. As this
is a short survey, response
rates significantly
improved meaning we
got rich insight from
more people on our core
16 questions that predict
future performance.
The rich data has
helped highlight shared
cultural values, key
engagement strengths
and some opportunities –
a map for change at
both the local and
global level.
Q
What are the top
trends for talent-
acquisition professionals
in the next five years?
We think there are two
big trends that will have
an impact – listening and
inclusion. A lot has been
written about candidate
experience, but what
makes it possible to create
a better experience is the
ability to listen. We don’t
mean a questionnaire,
we mean rich, contextual
feedback on what it feels
like to be a candidate.
Inclusion is another real
challenge that needs to be
addressed. Anyone hiring
for ‘cultural fit’ or using
tight ‘selection criteria’
need to accept this will
exclude a lot of people.
Getting your recruitment
strategy aligned to your
approach to inclusion is a
big but critical challenge.
