One of the best ways to convince CEO’s of deficiencies in their technology strategy is to benchmark their practices against competitors. Line managers will be especially sensitive to quality of hire and if you can show how your new tech can help to deliver higher performing candidates, you will build some powerful allies to help lobby your case with the CEO.īenchmark your current approach to talent management against key competition Research from Futurestep shows that employers are increasingly placing their emphasis on quality of hire as a key hiring metric. Show if the technology can improve the quality of hire This will be an especially compelling case for CEOs and production orientated managers. In your business case, show how much potential lost output can be retrieved by reducing empty desk time from the introduction of your new hire technology. Reducing time to hire will reduce empty desk time which should increase output and minimize lost productivity. If the technology can reduce empty desk time, then show it This is one of the most compelling arguments you can make, particularly if the Finance Director is in the room. When making your proposal, if possible, always show a break even date, (when it starts paying for itself), and a ‘savings’ date, e,g, when it starts reducing the existing HR bill.

But, there is a ‘right’ way to go about it which I have highlighted below:Ī recent Bersin study has shown that 66% of firms intend on buying talent management software, but less than 10% will buy it as one big project, and most will buy and implement one module at a time in a step by step fashion. This means its the perfect juncture point for HR to approach their bosses or decision makers for investment in new hire tech.
