How the right tools and processes can elevate your talent pool

Our Project Management team recruits and places proven talent within the Information Technology sphere…a highly competitive and complex industry. The difference is our experts understand the importance of precision in placing the right professional in the right spot for our client’s mission-critical projects.

When it comes to the security of your organization or its ability to use technology for the highest efficiency, our team accesses PMP certified Project Managers, Scrum Masters, and agile methodologies to manage our delivery of knowledgeable and experienced professionals to augment your staff, fill skills gaps, provide guidance, and deliver results. Our talent acquisition services include contract, contract-to-permanent hire, and direct hire services.

The foundation of our talent acquisition strategy includes recruiting, screening, interviewing, hiring, and onboarding. A strong talent acquisition process built with a project management mentality is a must in today’s competitive labor market. In the U.S., we are experiencing the “Great Resignation”, resulting in a talent market which favors job seekers. Now is the perfect time to begin partnering with an organization, like Cira, who has refined its talent pool for years and continues to source the best and brightest in the industry.

Talent acquisition is always “on”

Talent acquisition is the proactive part of recruitment and is “online” 24X7. Our specialists never stop searching for the best talent in critical roles like CIO, CISO, and CTO.

Processes and policies

Our talent acquisition and recruitment processes are backed by proven methodologies like agile or PMP. Our teams aim to create a consistent candidate experience, scout talent for executive positions, nurture a continuous talent pipeline, and use best-in-class resources to assist their efforts and track sourcing data.

The candidate experience

According to Talent Trends data from Randstat Sourcewright, job seekers are placing the candidate experience as a prime influence on if they accept a position or not. Job seekers today are demanding transparency and honesty around their candidacy.

The experience encapsulates recruiting efforts up through onboarding. Our teams have policies in place to trigger communications at specific milestones and prompt interaction at the appropriate intervals.

Don’t forget about your current talent pool

Recruiting and promoting internally offers many benefits. Our team makes sure we partner with our client’s internal HR departments to source talent appropriately and ensure that career track considerations are part of our process. Internal resources should be contemplated publicly to encourage a transparent environment and allow for talent to rise into other tracks to avoid burnout.

In today’s environment, it’s even more critical to shift budgets towards proven strategies like internal hiring programs which keep high-performing talent on board.

Software, software, and more software

Many companies are already using talent acquisition software like applicant tracking system (ATS). ATS can automate and manage talent acquisition processes like job board posting and employee referral programs, create an engaging candidate experience, and track recruiting data.
