One area of competitive advantage is the attitudes and behaviours of the workforce. As such the topics of recruitment selection, talent management and retention strategies will be addressed. These three issues are intertwined and it will be argued that if accomplished successfully with the organisations strategic objectives in mind will deliver business success.
Fernández-Aráoz et al (2009, p. 4) have detailed seven steps to successful recruitment of senior management. Their first is to anticipate the need to replace staff. They recommend modelling what the organisational structure will be in three years and assessing the leadership needs for that structure. This is sound advice as avoiding staff attrition is not possible therefore if it can be predicted and planned for, the risk of disruption to the business can be mitigated and recruitment costs lowered. This is achievable through such programs as internal talent identification and development and an increasingly popular recruitment strategy of employee referrals. Rosenberg (2008, p. 2) concurs with these methods and to review recruiting needs often.
Secondly was to thoroughly detail the job requirements into job-based, team-based and firm-based competencies. This is supported by Carless (2005, p. 12) who presents the view that it is more accurate to assess job seekers fit to not just the organisation but also the job to predict a positive outcome in the recruitment process.

The competency analysis reveals the specification of competencies that need to be demonstrated by the applicant (Woods et al., 2010). Managers are likely to analyse and interpret, organise and execute, enterprise and perform and lead and decide, competencies which are all highly related to overall job performance (OJP) (Bartram, 2002). Following the trend, this suggests that OJP ratings are primarily influenced by task performance, rather than by the contextual competencies, and therefore task-focussed assessment by a competency framework is recommended. However, it is very important that the personnel who conduct the assessment are properly trained, so that a clear link to the competencies is evident and each criterion is assessed more than once. Using a combination of tools is recommended to achieve an accurate assessment: an application form, a SJT and a GMA test are suggested for pre-selection and a competency-based panel interview for the final decision making

The term talent management could include a long list of HR processes and components and cover only some, most, or all employees. Varied definitions are being used. Some definitions are very narrow and focus only on a single process or employee group—the “pivotal talent”, while other definitions are so broad and all inclusive that it is difficult to know what they intend to include.An
