Executive Brief: VP HR (Chief People Officer)
No matter what your title, you understand that hiring great people makes all the difference in achieving hire performance and hire success!
The key to building a great company, is great people…right? At Accolo, we have a fundamental belief that no product, technology, service or even discontinuous innovation by itself will create a great company without the right people. This is why we created Accolo, to fulfill our relentless pursuit to connect the two most important people for hire success, the hiring manager and the perfect-fit candidate. However, this is much easier said than done, which is why we have not seen the traditional recruiting model change for over 50 years.
We started by collecting hiring intelligence and performance metrics across 450+ companies and over 20,000 successful hires within our Hiring Intelligence knowledgebase and making it available to our customers via the Accolo Cloud Recruiting® Platform. Then, we developed and patented our Cloud Recruiting Software upon 10 Universal Hiring Best Practices to enable every customer to leverage a more consistent, predictable and transparent hiring process. Finally, we developed a network of trained and certified Accolo Hiring Consultants (not just recruiters) that provides our customers on demand recruiting capacity as their hiring needs fluctuate throughout the year.
As the talent management leader within your company, what is more important than having great people to represent your brand every day? Maybe nothing, but what about the ability to have every candidate that applies for a job become a brand advocate? The Accolo Universal Hiring Best Practices enabled process includes the fundamental tenant that every candidate should be treated with courtesy and respect as they are much more than a potential employee, they may be your next customer, a share holder or even a referral source for that next ‘A Player’ you hire.
We’ve continuously gather feedback from our customers and they consistently articulate the following benefits with Accolo including:
- increased candidate quality,
- a material reduction in cost per hire, and
- compressed recruit to hire cycle time.
We think there is an even more strategic benefit for the Chief People Officer, the ability to increase hiring manager satisfaction by leveraging the aggregate hiring intelligence collected across hundreds of customers and thousands of hires – subsequently minimizing the time they spend reviewing poor fit resumes and interviewing unqualified candidates. In addition, you can eliminate the fixed costs associated with an internal recruiting function, materially increase the effectiveness and efficiency of making every new hire while increasing your employment brand one candidate at a time. Ask yourself this question, how many candidates that were turned down from a job enthusiastically state they would recommend your company to all of their friends and family? We receive hundreds of these comments every month from candidates who were not even hired!
Identifying and hiring great human capital is not the sole responsibility of human resources. It’s a shared responsibility and opportunity across every function. Our goal is to help you achieve ‘hire success’ throughout your company.
We invite you to come learn for yourself how Accolo can impact your company brand and hire performance, one candidate and one hire at a time.
