There are a couple of platforms that form important sources of securing top global talent for an organization. Research-based data has revealed that great places of work created by employees are potential pools of highly talented employees. It has been revealed that fantastically talented persons would want to work at fanciful places. Furthermore, destinations that recognize employee welfare both in the work environment and even beyond into their personal success as well places with diverse culture harness talent with ease. Furthermore, areas with well-established communication channels as well as proactive working ethics leverage talented workers Ibid.. This is because everything expected of every individual stakeholder is well known from the go, and impending challenges are foreseeable so that solutions are sought even before the situation becomes substantially problematic. The structural framework of the organization as well plays a role in talent nurturing, as everybody knows what is anticipated from them, when, and where. Thirdly, persons who harness elements of developing meaningful relationships are very essential to consider while analyzing talent. One of the reasons this is important is because such individuals get personal and very thoughtful while creating relationships, hence getting relevant to specific issues and circumstances they deal with accordingly.

The strategic issues related to the diversity of applicants, ethical practices, and cost effectiveness of recruiting are very significant segments in talent selection process. The variety of candidates is very essential because experience, competence, professional diversity, as well as the expertise of different flare is combined to give a diverse and reliable workforce. Indeed, diversity makes the employee fraternity a complete and self-efficient army, which had many approaches in meeting the short and long-term goals of a company. Ethical practices, on the other hand, are the core foundations of every workplace Nancy R. Lockwood, “Talent Management: Driver for Organizational Success,” Relatório de Pesquisa 36 (2006): 1–11.. The moral values dictate what is held as right or morally wrong, hence offering a candid code of behavior that all parties have to embrace to achieve the set expectations. The economic conditions also come in a while considering the hiring of new talent as pertinent decision making as well attracts expenditure. The operational reason, the purpose of the vacancy for hire, and the financial cost should be analyzed first considered to whether the position could be inculcated into other functions of the present staff to avoid cost for the employer. All these efforts should be channeled toward minimizing expenditure Christensen and Rog, “Talent Management: A Strategy for Improving Employee Recruitment, Retention and Engagement within Hospitality Organizations.”.

The process of assessing external candidates is pertinent to examining assessment strategies and associated legal implications by the responsible task force. It should be recognized that there is competition for talent globally, and hence the need for an organization to developing adaptive strategies to make it in securing the best workforce possible.

Different countries have varying laws and regulations about hiring, hence the need to cope with the statutes to ensure a smooth recruitment process. Employment based on discrimination of any nature and such sensitive biases are illegal in most countries, among other aspects that should be keenly highlighted will conducting the process.
