What you'll learn

This workshop shows you how to fundamentally rethink talent acquisition for the modern marketplace. This is not about tools, databases or filtering strategies.

  • You'll master the Triple-A Framework to identify candidates with the right ambition and attitude, rather than just impressive CVs. Learn to recognize future top performers before your competitors do.
  • Transform your recruiting from a necessary evil into a competitive advantage. Create touchpoints and conversations that make talented people excited to join your team.
  • Focus on psychology over process. You'll learn how great talent thinks, what they value, and how to position your opportunity as irresistible.

Built specifically for leaders and managers who have to or – more importantly – want to handle their own hiring. We'll work through real scenarios with the group – this is a vivid workshop that keeps everyone actively thinking and contributing.
