Every planner and recruiter knows that each strategic process requires a pre-strategic process. This is usually just the pre-planning phase of your master plan. Because hiring and recruiting involves many aspects of business (budgets, time, employees, planning, etc.), it is important to ask yourself a few questions to evaluate what resources you have to fulfill your hiring needs. These questions include:

What is Talent Mapping

Talent mapping is an effective way to predict future talent needs and identify gaps. With talent mapping, retention rates improve as existing employees are promoted or transitioned into roles suited for their skill set. Talent mapping also reduces time to hire by already knowing the ideal candidate and having a recruiting plan in place.

Usually when you think of your dream hire, you think of someone who is respectful, trustworthy, reliable, and has sound judgment, right? As you envision your ideal candidate with these qualities, the last person you think of is someone with a criminal record. 

How to Practice Fair Chance Hiring for People With Criminal Records

Hiring people with a criminal record has its benefits - it helps to diversify your workforce, attract more candidates and is a positive contribution to society. Check out EEOC and DOL for tax credits and incentives, as well as free bonding for employers. Review hiring policies to ensure you are following the law and keep the sourcing/recruiting process separate from background checks.
