BECOME A TALENT MAGNET

Learn how to attract the right candidates before the hiring process even begins.

A short, practical online course that helps organisations become a magnet for candidates with the right character and values.

This bite-sized introduction covers a critical stage of the new comprehensive Hire Great People Programme.

MOST ORGANISATIONS STRUGGLE TO HIRE WELL.

They advertise roles, review CVs and run interviews, yet still end up hiring people who look strong on paper but don’t deliver once they’re in the role.

Often, the issue starts much earlier – with a lack of clarity around what “great” actually looks like before the recruitment process even begins.

This short, practical course focuses on a critical but often overlooked part of hiring – how to attract the right people in the first place, and deter the wrong ones.

The bite-sized course is delivered by Simon Hartley, Founder of Be World Class and a globally respected sport psychology consultant, performance coach, award-winning speaker and published author.

Hire Great People: Magnet for Talent has been developed in partnership with Be World Class, combining world-class performance thinking with Headstar’s real-world recruitment experience.

This course builds on Headstar’s long-standing relationship with Simon Hartley, including years of running joint “Recruiting on Character” events with Be World Class, and the application of these principles within our own hiring approach. 

Learn how to transform your recruitment process and attract better candidates.

Watch Simon Hartley explain why many organisations struggle to attract the right people and how becoming a magnet for talent can transform the quality of your hiring.

“I’ve had the pleasure of being connected with Simon now for over 18 months and alongside various speaking and coaching engagements I also asked Simon to support my TA leadership team with a full day “Hire Great People” workshop.

Simon has an innate ability to provide genuinely meaningful content that’s backed with tangible examples and not just theory. He also asks the right challenging questions and frames everything into a practical and usable way that really resonated with the team.

The parallels between high performing sports teams and the corporate world are clear but channelling this down into how they actually recruit talent and focus a lot on “character” was the real unlock for us.

If you want your organisation to begin to adopt a similar mindset and really challenge your thinking on how to hire great people I couldn’t recommend Simon highly enough.”
