Talent Acquisition

Gallup Consulting is an industry leader in developing innovative solutions that radically improve the way organizations source, select, and hire the best employees for their most crucial positions. Our research-based approach has been refined through more than 30 years of work with hundreds of successful organizations in a broad range of industries.

Our consultants help organizations:

  • define and implement talent acquisition strategies
  • identify and assess talent selection practices and processes
  • define and describe talent value propositions -- the improved performance that results when companies select employees with the right talents
  • design and administer talent-based selection systems

The result is a talent acquisition strategy that leads to improved business performance.

Throughout the process, our experts provide in-depth consultation on candidate sourcing, assessment, reporting, tracking, and development to ensure that all elements of the selection process drive positive business outcomes.

Hiring for Success

Today's leaders understand the negative impact that bad hiring decisions have on their organizations. Many, however, underestimate the true scope of this impact. After our consultants conduct a comprehensive Business Impact Analysis of the organization's hiring strategy and processes, executives are often shocked to discover that the total cost is much higher than they previously estimated.

For example, a client was surprised to learn that high turnover in the organization's sales force -- primarily the result of poor hiring decisions -- cost $183 million per year. Research by Gallup and others shows that employee turnover in key roles can cost organizations 30% to 176% of the annual salary of each vacant position. When confronted with the total financial impact, organizational leaders immediately realize that investing in a research-based selection solution reduces the effects of bad hires and represents a significant return on investment.

Gallup Consulting's approach is grounded in more than 30 years of rigorous research into the relationships between talent and job performance. Our approach helps organizations increase productivity, reduce turnover, increase customer and employee engagement, and improve financial performance.

The only way to understand and replicate top performance is to study top performance. Top performers in all jobs think, talk, and act differently than average and poor performers. Understanding the talents that contribute to outstanding performance is key to developing an effective talent acquisition strategy. Our consultants identify the talents that contribute to success, then work with organizational leaders to develop and refine a strategy and the supporting processes and systems that help organizations find more employees like their very best.
