talent acquisition
A diagnostic that goes beyond the surface.
Most organisations know something isn't working in their hiring, they just don't know exactly what. The Audit & Consultation engagement gives you a full-spectrum view of your talent acquisition function, identifying what's working, what's broken, and where the biggest opportunities for improvement lie.
This isn't a generic checklist. It's a personalised, expert-led review anchored in your business context, your industry, and your growth objectives.
- In-depth stakeholder interviews and workflow mapping
- Review of existing technology, tooling, and data quality
- Candidate and hiring manager experience evaluation
- Benchmarked against industry best practices and competitors
Three pillars of every audit.
Each engagement covers all three dimensions, because a gap in any one of them is enough to undermine the whole talent function.
Current Talent Processes
& Systems
This involves a comprehensive review of your existing recruitment processes, from sourcing and screening through to onboarding. The audit assesses how effective and efficient these processes are, identifies bottlenecks, and evaluates the technology and tools currently in place, including your Applicant Tracking System (ATS) and CRM systems.
Often the biggest wins are found here: duplicated steps, inconsistent assessment criteria, or underused platform features that could dramatically speed up hiring without adding headcount.
Employer Brand &
Candidate Experience
This component evaluates your organisation's employer brand perception and how candidates actually experience the hiring journey. The audit examines every touchpoint, job postings, career pages, social media presence, and candidate communications, to ensure they align with your employer value proposition and attract the right talent.
In a competitive market, a poor candidate experience isn't just a missed hire, it's an active reputational risk. We assess what candidates see, feel, and remember about your organisation.
Talent Acquisition
Metrics & ROI
The audit analyses key metrics, time-to-hire, cost-per-hire, quality of hire, and candidate retention rates, to understand the true effectiveness of your current recruitment efforts. Numbers don't lie, but without the right lens, they don't tell you where to act.
We translate data into decisions. Every metric reviewed comes with a recommendation: what to stop measuring, what to start measuring, and what benchmark to aim for given your stage, sector, and hiring volume.
Clear deliverables.
No fluff, no jargon.
Every audit engagement concludes with a structured set of outputs you can act on immediately.
A comprehensive written report covering findings across all three audit areas, with scored assessments and direct commentary on each component of your talent function.
Not just a list of everything to fix, a tiered action plan showing what to tackle first for maximum impact, with effort and impact estimates for each recommendation.
A structured 90-day implementation roadmap with clear milestones, so your team knows exactly what to focus on in the weeks immediately following the engagement.
Your current metrics benchmarked against industry standards for your sector and company size, so you know whether your numbers are exceptional, adequate, or a cause for concern.
A live presentation and working session with your leadership team to walk through findings, answer questions, and align on the approach to implementation.
A follow-up consultation session at the 30-day mark to review early implementation progress, troubleshoot blockers, and adjust priorities as needed.
A clear, structured engagement.
From initial brief to final debrief, the audit is designed to be thorough but efficient, minimal disruption, maximum insight.
We align on objectives, scope, and key stakeholders. You share context; we ask the hard questions.
Interviews, data analysis, system access reviews, and candidate journey mapping, the complete diagnostic.
All findings synthesised into a comprehensive report with a prioritised, practical action plan.
Live presentation with your team, then ongoing 30-day support to ensure the work actually lands.
Let's find out exactly
what's holding you back.
