Recommendation

The competition to attract talent is fierce, so a team of professionals at the Boston Consulting Group urges companies to consider two types of workers they’ve long overlooked. This practical, well-argued article explains where recruiters and hiring staff should focus their efforts, as well as how to get the most out of every hiring investment. Today’s businesses, say the authors, simply can’t afford to ignore this advice.

Take-Aways

  • The intense competition for workplace talent means that today’s firms must consider two types of job candidates they’ve typically ignored: their past employees and professionals returning to the labor force.
  • Company alumni are “known entities,” whereas new hires aren’t. Former employees understand the company culture and expectations and usually need less training. 
  • People returning after a career break are often seasoned professionals who hold advanced degrees. Many are women – and, increasingly, millennial men – who’ve made caring for their families a priority.
