Recruitment and retention are two sides of the same coin. Today’s top-performing midsize organizations approach them as an integrated talent strategy, not separate silos. Here’s how to align both for sustainable growth.
5 Practices to Align Recruitment and Retention:
1. Build a Strong Employer Brand
Your company’s reputation is key to attracting and keeping great people. Highlight inclusive culture, benefits, and success stories on every channel.
2. Create Feedback Loops Between HR and Team Leads
Use onboarding and performance data to refine job postings and interview criteria—continual feedback improves both hiring and retention.
3. Train Managers on Engagement Practices
Poor management is a top reason for attrition. Equip leaders with coaching, conflict resolution, and communication tools.
4. Use Onboarding to Build Belonging
Great onboarding reduces 90-day turnover. Go beyond logistics—make sure new hires feel seen, heard, and connected from day one.
5. Tie DEI Goals to Talent Metrics
Diversity without inclusion leads to attrition. Monitor hiring, promotion, and exit data to ensure equity at every stage of the employee lifecycle.
