Attract

Talent attraction is a term used in the Human Resources and Talent Acquisition field to describe luring the most desirable of passive candidates to a specific employer and incentivising them to apply for work with implied and envisioned benefits.

Recruit

Finding and recruiting the people and skills you need to drive business growth.

Train

Talent training is the actual training activities in which employees might participate, like seminars, workshops and lectures. Industry Specific learning through External Education Providers. Talent transformation encompasses those activities, but it might also include coaching, mentoring, new on-the-job experiences and working with employees to help them discover their goals and untapped talents.

Retain

Retaining talent, or employee retention, means the ability an organisation has to keep its employees. This is when employees choose to stay with their current company, rather than look for opportunities elsewhere.

SFR have provided recruitment solutions for many years, finding talented individuals for the Ironmongery, Door and access solutions sector.

We also work closely with our clients to devise a plan to not only attract and recruit talent but to retain the very best talent in the industry. Including how to build a compelling employer brand, create a seamless hiring process, and deliver a welcoming, motivating candidate experience.

Like all good plans, it starts with an honest conversation.
