Fifteen Talent Trends That Are Running the Talent-Show

  1. Skills > Titles
    Nobody cares what your business card says. Show us what you can actually do.

  2. Top Talent Leaders will not apply for hundred of jobs
    The best people aren’t scrolling job ads every day. They’re in a external network or your (companies/bransch) network. If you ask for them you will find them. If you invest time in meeting them – they will follow your company and your jobs.

  3. Potential are the New grades
    Raw ability and learning speed beat “grades” every time. Experienced talent also have potential.

  4. Managers Who Can’t Coach Are Done
    Command-and-control is dead. Coaching is the new power move.

  5. Culture Is a Performance Multiplier
    Toxic culture kills talent faster than bad pay ever could.

  6. Careers Are Non-Linear
    Lateral moves, pivots, and detours are how winners are made.

  7. Internal Talent Marketplaces Win
    If you don’t offer growth inside, your people will find it outside.

  8. Flexibility Is Not a Perk — It’s the Baseline
    Remote, hybrid, async. No flexibility? No talent.

  9. Speed! YES! 
    Speed in the recruitment process beats everything – for the candidate. Use your talented recruiters to find your candidate. Sometimes without tests and everything that you have in your standard process.

  10. Employer Brand = Talent Currency
    If no one wants to work for you, nothing else matters.

  11. Leaders Are Always “On Display”
    Transparency isn’t optional. Your people are watching.

  12. Learning Never Stops
    Upskill or become irrelevant. Harsh, but true.

  13. Talent Is the Strategy
    Not HR’s problem. Not leadership’s side project. Talent is The strategy.

  14. CEO, HR and Talent managers. If they work 100% ”ITS ALL ABOUT PEOPLE” you will win. Sometimes it takes times. 4potentials or other partner can speed up that process by highlighting your talent-actions.

It takes much more time to build up new talent roads to the talent – than asking if you can use their way to nr 1! Take care of your partners. If you treat your recruitment and Employer Branding partner well – they will become true ambassadors.
