“The expertise you gain through strategic resourcing partnerships will improve the quality of your hiring processes, reduce risk, enhance retention and ultimately, give you and your organisation a distinct competitive advantage.” ays Vanessa Brandt – Contract Resource Manager at Ovations Technologies (Pty) Ltd
The aim of strategic resourcing is to ensure the organisation has a workforce that speaks directly to its culture and business requirements, and that can help it achieve its business goals. It’s an approach to recruitment that integrates business strategy with employee resourcing strategy so that the latter supports the business in achieving the former. Vanessa explains the difference between recruitment and strategic resourcing. “Recruitment is more reactive as it’s about filling vacancies and finding candidates for existing jobs. Strategic resourcing, on the other hand, is about looking at the long-term needs of the organisation and planning around that. It considers future hiring needs as well as developing a talent pipeline with a longer-term view”.
