About this listen

 In this episode five of Hidden Talent, host Erin Trafford guides us as we unpack the beliefs and concepts around how much time it should take to make a good hire, what that means for the new employee who's transitioning into a new job and what that means for the employer.   We hear from small-medium sized business owners Sarah Dunkley and Janine Harris about the fears and risks they assume any time a new hiring process begins. Lisa Taylor, president of Challenge Factory, elaborates on the focus and initiatives underway within  the Canadian Armed Forces and Veterans Affairs Canada to bring awareness to the existing pool of talented Veterans. Retired CAF member Chris Stoyles shares his valuable insight on the onboarding process and the importance of ongoing communication.   Highlights of the episode: Why the lack of hiring process and onboarding structure is a problem for all employers and employees What the research says about the gap between the time-strapped employer and Veteran talent Why job fairs and job boards still aren’t the solution to the Hidden Talent problem Why it’s crucial to communicate expectations and establish performance criteria to increase hiring and retention success.
