What does an audit of a company's talent acquisition strategy and operations involve?

An audit of a company's talent acquisition strategy and operations typically entails a comprehensive review of the company's recruitment processes and strategies. Here are some key areas that may be covered in such an audit:

1. Analysis of recruitment metrics: The audit may include an analysis of the recruitment metrics such as time to fill, cost per hire, candidate experience, and retention rates. This helps to identify areas of strengths and weaknesses in the company's recruitment processes.
2. Review of job descriptions and postings: The audit may involve reviewing job descriptions and postings to ensure they are clear, accurate and up-to-date. This helps to attract suitable candidates and avoid mismatches in expectations.
3. Evaluation of candidate screening and selection processes: The audit may evaluate the company's candidate screening and selection processes to ensure they are effective, fair, and compliant with employment laws and regulations.
4. Assessment of employer branding: The audit may assess the company's employer branding to determine how well it resonates with its target talent pool, and how it can be improved to attract top talent.
5. Identification of technology and tools: The audit may evaluate the company's recruitment technology and tools, such as applicant tracking systems, to determine if they are optimized to support the company's recruitment goals.
6. Benchmarking against industry standards: The audit may benchmark the company's recruitment processes and practices against industry standards to identify areas of improvement and best practices.

Our audit aim to provide a detailed and objective analysis of your company's talent acquisition strategy and operations, and to provide recommendations for improvement.
