Literature review
1. Talent management
Talent management is a fundamental professional effort applied
on an organization to ensure pivotal employees are sustained and
developed (Mihalcea, 2017). Talent management would help
ensure employees benefit and succeed from organization and
ensure that they well recognized and rewarded accordingly.
Talent management endeavors has always been on the promotion
of employees in regard to their effort. The promotion has a direct
impact on how employees feel in a manner that they are valued
and their importance in their organization. The promotion
increases employees’ loyalty and this would have a great benefit
towards organization’s productivity (Cascio and Boudrea, 2016).
This also motivates other employees’ to work hard and achieve
the same promotion. Talent management essentially retains
organization’s superior workforce, this ensures that employees
would be in a position of successfully bettering themselves. A
steady and concrete talent management ensures that employees
would have an opportunity of developing professionally and
ensures that a better professional range would be achieved. The
professional range ensures that employees dedicate themselves
and better their quality work and this in a wide view ensures that
the organization succeed effectively (Collings, Wood and
Szamosi, 2018). Recruitment process ties itself directly to talent
management since the common goal of the two departments
would be to retain and attract the top employees who are
effectively performing, and in the process availing to them all
necessary tools that would ensure they succeed. Talent
management would also give managers a role of involving in
recruitment process, this ensures that the best employee secure or
get the job. Most organization only mandate the top employees to
have an opportunity to be involved on the process of talent
management, this always would be the core reason of ensuring
that the most talent employees are selected (Cooke, Saini and
Wang, 2014). Talent management process ensures that the chief
executive officer of an organization would be loyal and be able to
provide the best administration to the organization (Stone,
Deadwick , Lukaszewski and Johnson, 2015).
Example:
T – Mobile company involves in its recruitment based on
assessing candidates online and using metrics. Their pilot test
which they carried out on 2004, T – mobile demonstrated the
impact of recruiting talented management and successful they
achieved their expectations, in presence of tech – savvy audience
that were targeted and achieved a magnificent in recruiting
online.
2. Employees’ experiences
Human resources are always worried with the employees they
hire since there is a likelihood that they will contribute
differently and to some extend efficiently in comparison to one
another. Generally the department of human resource would be
required to give each employee an equal opportunity. An
experienced employee would enhance a great improvement on
the organization progress. The main positive goal of an
experienced employee would results to high possible identified
solutions and numerous creativity and innovation identified. The
accumulation of this thoughts and experience would increase
personal working performance when making an appropriate
decision that would be new to enhance progress and effectiveness
of organization’s operations. Cultural diversity according to
studies has a great effect on improving the workplace
productivity. This is as a result of employee learning from other
employees and therefore positively benefiting the organization
(Brewster, 2017). The employees networking experiences
improves the amount of outcome and save on time in making
decisions and solving problems. Improvement on creativity and
productivity would be associated with sharing job experiences
that lead to considerable profit increase in an organization. The
profit increment is the core reason as to why organizations
should emphasize for diversity for both employees and
management within (Sameen, and Cornelius, 2015). The amount
of profit increase would enable the organization to hire
employees from the organization’s locality. Additionally,
diversity would help improve the employees’ engagement, which
would increase employee’s motivation. This can also minimize
employee’s turnover. Therefore, increasing employees’
satisfaction ensures that they do not withdraw from their job
Examples:
Microsoft is amongst top 100 companies that work in America,
with its employees being experienced. They are the world class in
terms of effectively using its contingent employees
3. Online recruitment
The recruitment process through social media involves hiring
new employees through social website like Facebook, LinkedIn,
Twitter, Google+ and other sites. Many companies have adopted
this technique of recruitment since they are technology-related
companies, and social media feeds can prove that the person that
they are hiring is in touch with the latest technology. Registering
with LinkedIn helps improves the contact with different people
from different business sectors. Employees connected with
LinkedIn shows the extent in which they are updated with
technology. The social media recruitment has been regarded as
one of the huge trend that about 90% of all the organizations
have adopted due to their immense benefit. The recruitment
would be one of the cheapest methods since it does not involve
advertising through fliers or newspapers. The shared vacancy
job in the social media would attract many candidates who
knows about the job well enough and interested in applying it
through the social media. Studies show that online recruitment
has saved on the companies recruitment cost and to extent
improved the recruitment process efficiency (Parry and Tyson,
2008).
Example:
T – Mobile company involves too in recruiting his or her
employees through assessing the candidates online. Their pilot
test which they carried out on 2004, T – mobile demonstrated the
impact of recruiting talented management and successful they
achieved their expectations, in presence of tech – savvy audience
that were targeted and achieved a magnificent in recruiting
online
.
Job satisfaction
The first importance of job satisfaction is to ensure that the right
employee would be recruited and retained in an organization. It
also ensures that there would be maintenance of productivity by
constantly keeping employees engaged and motivated on the job.
It also moderates the negative conflict effects and minimizes
stresses for employees’ labor turnover.
The second importance of job satisfaction would be personal
respect that would be portrayed at all the company stages this
ensures positive work environment. Personal respect would
protect all the workers from discrimination, sexual harassment
and ethical background. Therefore, the respect given to
employees at their working station would influence job
satisfaction.
Thirdly, it enhances opportunity growth that would be offered by
employees on the working environment.
