AI and a Needs Assessment
AI has a huge impact on talent acquisition. A Needs Assessment is a crucial first step in the hiring process by documenting a manager’s strategic vision for an open role before recruitment begins. It transforms the act of “filling a vacancy” into a proactive effort to address a strategic need.
A few examples of things on a Needs Assessment form:
- Date, manager’s name, open position, department
- Hiring Statement
- reason for the opening
- biggest challenges for the new employee
- 3 – 5 critical core compense needs
- 60 day, 90 day and one year expectation goals
- how many A-B-C players on the existing team
Advantages of Using a Needs Assessment for Hiring
- Saves time and money trying to fix underperforming employees
- Increase manager ownership of the hiring and onboarding process
- Improves hiring skills
- More flexibility with the ongoing AI changes to the workforce
- Competitive advantage
By utilizing a Needs Assessment, organizations can move beyond reactive hiring and instead focus on building a workforce that strategically aligns with their Mission Statement goals.
