Selection and Succession
Effectively managing talent across your organization begins with the selection of employees, whether this selection takes the form of a new external hire or the promotion of an internal candidate.
Our tools help HR professionals and hiring managers put the best talent in every job.
Selection
In order to select the talent that best fits your needs, you first have to define your needs. In other words, to determine if a candidate can be successful, you must first define what success looks like.
Our first step in the selection process is guiding your HR team and hiring managers through the creation of a Success Profile. Each profile defines the competencies, key experiences, and specific knowledge areas that are necessary for success.
Success profiling provides a focused starting point for selection decisions and serves as the unifying data that integrates every component of your talent management system.
When role requirements are established, we then train your HR team and hiring managers in Lominger's competency-based interviewing methodology. We use Interview Architect®, a web-based tool, to guide hiring managers through the interviewing process. The ability to customize a behavioral interview tool-kit helps managers ask better questions and more accurately assess candidates.
By using a clear methodology, you will be able to hire individuals who demonstrate the competencies required by the job now, and individuals who demonstrate a high degree of learning agility, ensuring hey will cultivate the competencies necessary for future success.
We believe in giving our clients the tools they need to make good decisions. Accordingly, we train your HR professionals to use Success Profile Architect®, along with Interview Architect®, so they may more accurately assess candidates. Putting in place a process and protocol around hiring may be one of the most lasting and important decisions your HR team makes.
Succession Management
We used to think of succession planning as identifying the handful of senior executives who could be ready to take control in the near future. But with knowledge and creativity in high demand, we need to broaden our thinking and locate our high potential candidates throughout the organization.
Can you answer the following three questions about your talent:
- 1. What are your talent needs for the future?
- 2. Do you know where you have gaps in talent?
- 3. Do you know how you will fill those gaps?
The result of a successful succession management program is a pool of candidates ready to fill key positions.
Our succession management program will help you:
- Select critical competencies for key roles
- Streamline the process of identifying and assessing top talent using validated criteria
- Create development plans and provide coaching for high potential individuals
- Provide an online solution that links all assessment, training and development programs together
