Hong Kong; 14th October 2008 –Tal-os Asia, a Talent Management and Recruitment solutions firm in Asia today announced that after a comprehensive piloting and testing process it has formally launched its unique and proven talent market intelligence solution to empower HR Professionals, corporate recruiters and senior management formulate effective talent strategies that will align closely with their business goals.
Tal-os’ TalentSUITE will enable HR directors to discover who their target talent populations are, where they are, what they want and how to sign them on. Consisting of four different modules, the total solution delivers statistically valid and reliable first-hand market intelligence on the key areas of talent management, namely, recruitment, retention, employer branding, generational issues and remuneration.
“In a world where cost per hire, time to fill and recruitment effectiveness is becoming increasingly important, organisations are recognising that unplanned, unmeasured and reactive recruitment campaigns are both expensive and likely to result in costly mis-hires. Additionally, the long-term demographic imbalance especially in Asia and China is predicted to further intensify the talent war in the longer term. Even in slower markets, top talent have multiple choices and companies who plan their recruitment campaigns carefully will obtain the lion’s share of the available talent, while for others costly campaigns will produce a low ROI,” states Tony Dickel, Chairman of Tal-os Asia. “Our TalentSUITE solution helps companies derive the information they need to better target, attract and retain the talent they need, at a lower total cost per hire.”
The four modules of the solution launched today are TalentSCOPE, TalentMAP, TalentTEST and TalentWAR.
Highlights of TalentSUITE
1. TalentSCOPE:- Provides a general or strategic overview of the target talent market and provides answers as to the size of the eligible talent population, where they are located, how much is the sector growing, what the salary ranges, etc for each demographic within the population.
2. TalentMAP:- Detailed survey of the target candidate population that provides an in-depth assessment of a statistically representative stratified sample of the target talent market; computes the features of the talent pool such as general background, biographical characteristics and current status and motivations, etc
3. TalentTEST:- Evaluates candidates on certain metrics such as personality type, work styles, leadership traits, generational styles, etc
4. TalentWAR:- provides competitive benchmarking and provides insights on organisational structure, profiles of targeted groups of employees within defined competitor or other companies. This solution can also be extended to building a database of targeted talent and tracking them on behalf of our clients.
“By utilising TalentSUITE, businesses no longer need to rely solely on information gathered from recruitment agencies related to their approach to the talent market,” adds Dickel. “Business Intelligence gathered from TMI is real-time quality controlled data that shows the state of play today and not last year’s findings. This will help HR professionals to plan and execute their talent attraction, acquisition and retention strategies more effectively!”
TMI will be overseen by Jam Mariquit, Head of Market Intelligence for Tal-os Asia. Jam has over 15 years experience in the market intelligence arena, having headed over 200 research projects in the Asia Pacific Region in the course of his career.
"The four modules of the TalentSUITE can be purchased as a standalone solution or customised to meet the different needs of each organisation. So far, several of our clients have deployed a combination of the modules of TalentSUITE, based on the HR landscape in their organisation as part of their HR strategy,” states Mariquit.
