Human Capital Management

Proper Human Capital Management is an issue faced by all agencies and prime government contractors attempting to accomplish strategic missions.  Done right, the unimaginable can be accomplished.  Done poorly, and the management team quickly bogs down in the mire of human resource issues that distract from the organization’s mission, and erodes unit morale.

Talmadge’s solution for overcoming costly hiring decisions in its public sector contracts is “Performance Based Hiring” (PBH).   Our methodology is designed to solve the major issue of attracting, hiring and retaining top talent to teams and projects.  Our staffing process ensuring each candidate is treated consistently and fairly throughout the selection process.  This easy to use, quickly implemented system, engages the best hiring practices used by top managers and recruiting teams across the United States.  The five elements of the PBH On-Boarding process  are:

 
  1. Define success first: Simply stated, to hire superior people you must define superior performance. Once you know this, use this information as the basis of all candidate sourcing activities. This is your road map for hiring the best people and building great teams.
  2. Evaluate Objectively: Using the information developed in your hiring roadmap, create a standardized process that all treat candidates equally. Validate candidate performance first, then assess the personality/culture fit; using this order can mitigate the most common hiring errors.
  3. Emotional Restraint: Delay negative/positive selection decisions until adequate information is collected and validated by supporting facts.
  4. Remove Search Boundaries: Expand the candidate pool to include passive candidates. If you are only interviewing candidates that need a job, you will miss 80% of highly qualified candidates.
  5. Event Management: Convert the hiring process to a marketing event. Ensuring yours is a job of choice will save time, money and make you a better manager.Event Management: Convert the hiring process to a marketing event.
