A hire, train, deploy model requires companies to look beyond traditional recruiter profiles and to develop a more rounded talent acquisition team. It is a brave new world, and one our experts can help you to fully embrace.
Recruit, train, deploy requires organisations to rethink how they approach recruitment. Traditional recruitment begins with a job advertisement, which attracts applicants who then go through multiple rounds of interviews and assessment until a candidate or candidates is employed. Recruit, train, deploy is a faster, simpler way of doing recruitment. Talented individuals are recruited and trained in advance. They are prepared to enter the workforce and then deployed based on what an organisation is looking for.
Recruit, train, deploy can be extremely cost-effective as it eliminates the need to hire employees who already have the required skill set. A recruit, train, deploy programme removes the burden of competing for professionals, ensures the quality of talent, and reduces the time and effort that other approaches require – all of which significantly controls and reduces costs.
Recruit, train, deploy and hire, train, deploy are effectively the same solution.
