(if your policies and circumstances allow it)
You Can Attract Top Talent by Providing What They Value Most
Research shows that top talent seek the following from their employers.
Their growth
Research shows that insufficient opportunities to grow was the primary reason around 1/3 of job seekers were looking for a new employer from 2019–2021 (Gallup, McKinsey, etc).
Feeling heard
Research shows that the primary reason more than 1/3 of people are actively searching for new employment is a feeling of being uncared for in their current workplace (McKinsey 2021).
Do their best work
Research by Deloitte (2020) found that for 40% of people, their primary motivator to find another employer was that their skills weren’t valued or used.
Great culture
Nearly 9 in 10 job seekers say culture is vital to success (Teamstage 2020).
Demonstrating, instead of just “saying” we have a great culture is important to secure top talent because 72% of people experienced “Switch Shock” in 2022 (Muse).
With REACH, every leader can demonstrate their insights and proactivity to create and maintain a great culture.
By demonstrating these critical cultural elements, you can begin building trust during the interview – and secure the top talent.
The most cost-effective, data-led approach
Candidates' priorities evolve over time, shaped by various factors that matter most to them.
This does not cover elements such as remuneration, gym memberships, or employee assistance programs, we recognise their significance and the impact they have. Organisations can implement a range of high-impact initiatives to enhance their offerings, and our experts are available to assist in developing these strategies if needed.
Because REACH LX is a data-driven platform designed to maximise return on investment. It provides powerful tools that help businesses achieve the greatest impact at the lowest cost.Following are ways that organisations with REACH LX can attract better candidates.
A data-led, low cost approach to attracting better candidates.
1. Personal Growth through learning opportunities
When people are searching for a new employer, 1 in 3 say their top priority is finding an organisation that supports their growth and offers meaningful, challenging work.
Many candidates reviewing your job ad are specifically looking for one thing: a clear message that says, “we invest in your growth and development.” For many, this is the key reason they’ve decided to look for a new role.
With REACH, every candidate who completes a self-assessment as part of their application automatically receives a personally curated learning pathway.
So when you use REACH LX, your job ads can confidently say, “we’re committed to your personal and professional growth – and we invest in your development from day one.”
The difference was night and day.
We had 7 candidates respond to the ad - none were suitable to even interview. Then I added the line: "We are committed to personal growth from day one." Applications jumped from 7 to 38, and 9 of the new applicants were strong contenders. We were spoilt for choice.
In the interview, I asked, "What appealed to you about this role?" They said, "It was the opportunity for learning." This stuff works.

2. People seek challenging work that plays to their strengths
For 40% of people, their primary reason to look for a new role is because they don’t feel like their skills are recognised or used.
So they start looking for a role where they can put their strengths to work, and contribute to their full potential.
With the REACH Strengths Search, you can have unparallel instant insights to give people opportunities to play to their strengths, deliver more value and be more fully engaged.
Let your candidates know: We value strengths, and give people opportunities to use them. Let them know that it’s not lip service - you have a tool called Strengths Search that helps identify people based on skills and preferred work styles so they can be offered challenging and work they enjoy.
Also becomes a powerful retention tool.
With REACH LX, organisations can use Strengths Search to identify people within their workforce who have specific skills, strengths, work styles, personality types, and more.
This improves internal mobility and gives individuals the opportunity to contribute at their full potential.
For employees feeling frustrated by a lack of opportunity, showcasing a system that supports internal growth can be one of the most compelling reasons to stay. REACH LX helps you retain high-potential talent before they look elsewhere.

Commitment To A Great Culture
When organisations have REACH LX, they have world-class culture assessment, benchmarking and development resources as part of the platform.
Which means they can genuinely and demonstratively make the compelling statement during the recruitment process.
Once again, taking a data-led approach, 77% of people have experienced switch-shock, which means the expectations set by their new employer during the recruitment process were largely or completely different from the reality.
Which is to say, when an organisation says “we have a great culture” candidates don’t place too much weight on the statement. Afterall, they have never had an interview where the employer said “we have a terrible, toxic culture”.
However, when an employer says, we are committed to continually seeking feedback, and improving our culture, it is a signal to candidates that they are a dynamic organisation that is committed to growth - which is an appealing signal to quality candidates. (Robert Half and Teambuilding.com).
