Resourcing involves the attraction and recruitment of individuals into the right role at the right time and cost. It's about using relevant workforce planning data and knowing the right sourcing approaches and digital tools to tap into diverse candidate pools.
Those involved in resourcing activities should be focused on understanding the candidate experience, designing effective assessment and selection approaches and, overall, how to make effective recruitment decisions.
Understanding the labour market, your market position, your unique people proposition and job analysis will ensure roles are engaging to a wide range of people.
