Far too often recruitment firms target small-to-medium sized enterprises (SMEs) with
hiring packages priced for large-scale corporations.
At TalentPoint, we tap in to TalentHub to deliver the quality, flexibility and
accountability SMEs demand while reducing overall talent management and acquisition
costs by 50 per cent or more.
TalentHub enables us to provide organisations that can’t justify the cost of an inhouse,
full-time recruitment resource, with the benefits and services of just that. All
of which, is delivered by a dedicated offsite TalentHub professional and comes at a
fraction of the cost of having these resources in-house.
Gone are the days when SMEs had to use in-house HR and recruiters, or outsource
hiring on an expensive ad-hoc basis to get the best staff. TalentHub will secure your
organisation top talent at low cost.

Up to 40% of business investments ‘wasted’
 |
Brett Annan
TalentPoint
|
Many business investments are virtually ‘wasted’ because of poor governance processes,
according to a leading business management consultant.
TalentPoint’s Brett Annan says many so called investments are poorly designed, poorly
delivered, or they are just the wrong thing to do in the first place.
Brett says there is about $3.2 trillion spent annually worldwide on IT investments. Between
20 per cent and 40 per cent of that offers no real valued return.
Most business try and do the right thing when it comes to strategic investment, it’s just that
many organisations don’t know what they don’t know.
“Someone has a good idea, they run it through a basic ‘business case scenario’ and make a
decision based on the outcome, not on the benefits.
“That process exposes you to considerable risk which is why so many business investment
decisions do not deliver real value and are basically wasted.”
Brett cites the case of an organisation that spent over $12m on developing a business case for a
major strategic decision that was worth over $200m.
The project didn’t proceed, but Brett says the $12m should never have been invested in the business case process in the first place.
“The initial idea sounded good, but too little rigorous investment analysis was done before deciding to progress to the business case stage.
“There was no proven value, the risks were unknown, delivery was definitely uncertain but they still wanted to spend the money.
“By applying robust investment analysis techniques at the right stage of the process they would never have embarked on the business case process and so they would have saved $12m that could have been utilised to add real value and benefit to the organisation.

The number of employers expecting to hire more full-time staff improved seven per
cent from the last quarter, according to the Wellington Regional Chamber of
Commerce’s July business confidence survey.
This marked the first positive hiring sentiment in nine months.
TalentPoint’s Craig McGrory says while the increase in employers looking to hire is
positive news for the economy, hiring costs are still an issue for businesses.
He says while economic times seem to be improving any sensible employer will still
seek to trim hiring budgets and cut costs where possible.
“By using the RPO model employers can create a tailor-made solution for their
recruiting issues and dramatically cut time and money spent hiring staff.”
The RPO model goes beyond traditional agency duties of short-listing candidates, to
takes ownership of the whole hiring process – from identifying vacancies to onboarding
new recruits, but at half the cost of the generally accepted recruitment
model.
