Flipping the Coin for Talent: How Well are You Hiring?

Everyone agrees that talent is an important competitive advantage, but
surprisingly, three out of four companies do not have a priority talent
management program. Hiring processes are often random and decisions based on
intuition. In many cases, hiring decisions have success rates similar to
flipping a coin!

Executive turnover is at an all-time high. Fifty-eight percent of large and
medium-size companies changed CEOs from 1998 to 2001, according to an
international study of 481 corporations by Drake Beam Morin, a
management-consulting firm. The median tenure of CEOs is now 2.75 years, down
about a year from 1999, and only 12 percent of CEOs have held their position for
10 years or longer.

Low performing companies have nearly twice as much turnover among top performing
employees as high-performing companies, according to the consulting firm, Watson
Wyatt Worldwide.

Yet despite all the rhetoric about the war for talent, most companies don't have
effective hiring processes.

The new reality is that it is becoming more critical for companies to hire
talented managers in order to maintain a competitive advantage, but that
talented people are scarce, more mobile and demanding. What can leaders do to
ensure that their organizations have sufficient talent to drive their success?
