Matt Alder – Hire Smarter, Retain Longer: A new operating system for work and recruitment

Описание: Matt Alder is a podcaster, author, speaker and consultant focusing on innovation and technology in HR and Talent Acquisition. He is the host of Recruiting Future, one of the world's most popular talent acquisition podcasts, and over the last 20 years has built a reputation as a global thought leader, working with employers to optimise their talent technology strategies.

In this 10 Minute Takeaway, Matt and Jeff challenge some of the traditional wisdom when it comes to hiring practices, and explore more innovative strategies to building a successful workforce.

Businesses should be open to diverse talent pools and prioritise a candidate’s potential over specific skillsets. People can learn quickly with modern tools, while a strong cultural fit is crucial for long-term success. Furthermore, including neurodiverse individuals in the workforce can bring valuable perspectives and capabilities to a team.

Matt shares some examples from companies like Timsons and The Body Shop that demonstrate the effectiveness of open hiring, where the focus is on potential and willingness to work, rather than specific experience.

The key to successful hiring lies in understanding a candidate's core values, even if they haven't articulated them themselves. This increases the likelihood of finding individuals who align with the company culture.

When it come to staff retention, providing opportunities for employees to learn, develop, and contribute to a shared vision fosters engagement and reduces turnover. Matt suggests we need a new ‘operating system for work’. Traditional notions of a five-day work week and rigid schedules may not be optimal for the modern workforce. Companies that experiment with flexible work arrangements and embrace a growth mindset can attract and retain top talent.
