A study conducted recently revealed the top three ingredients necessary to succeed at talent recruitment in the IT industry. A staggering eighty six percent of respondents answered that finding the right IT talent is immensely difficult and three-fourths of HR managers stated that the time to fill such positions has increased. Another half admitted to recruiting less than capable personnel just to fill vacant positions. The first of these ingredients is company mission. Top talent gets attracted depending on the kind of work the company is doing and what are its aims. This is because people want their values to correspond with that of the organization. The second of these is company culture which includes the working patterns and hierarchies. A culture of appreciation and collaboration are preferred by the younger generation. Positive emotional reactions must be shared at such places. At Vanguard for example there exists a Peer Recognition Award which is handed out to employees acknowledged for their work by fellow employees.
