Resourcing and Recruitment: What is the difference and Why is it important?
A successful resourcing strategy very much depends on acting upon the goals and objectives of the business.
If you get down to the core, successful resource management is not about resource management - it is about the organization and getting the organization positioned and strengthened to meet leadership's vision.
So, the very first thing that resource managers should be asking themselves in those moments is, what is the most important initiative right now from a leadership perspective? Maybe it is retention of talent, maybe it is productivity. Maybe it is the retention of clients.
Understanding the implications of future work requires us to conduct research what’s on the agenda in the medium to long term - then use this information to forecast the future resource needs of the business
Additional concepts covered in the webinar include:
- Conducting a gap analysis
- Planning for recruitment
- Plan for retention
- Plan for staff development
- Plan for succession
Overview of the webinar
Resourcing strategy is evolving in response to the shift in how we work, post-pandemic. The competition for resources is fiercer than ever now that top-tier talent can work for virtually any business in the world.
Plus, the dawn of truly remote and async working means the employee experience looks very different compared to just three years ago. Digital employee experience is a new frontier to conquer and previous perks - like free office snacks and an on-site gym - are being replaced by wellbeing initiatives for at-home workers.
At a fundamental level, resourcing strategy states that traditional models in resourcing strategy and management treated the workforce like machines. Businesses now need to better embrace the intricacies of the human element to keep pace with emerging “future of work” trends.
This may mean rewriting the playbook of the who, what, where, and why of the resourcing strategy. It can include items such as a four-day work week, hybrid office and WFH, and a blend of on-staff and freelance workforce. Management and reporting need to evolve to support this new way of working – ideally leading to improvements in productivity and profitability - as well as wellbeing in the entire team.
The resourcing strategy involves approaching most of the staffing efforts from a global pool standpoint. The flexibility of that global pool is stricter in some areas and more flexible in other areas. When looking at the right person, the right project, right time, the skills piece is an essential part. Each of our resources comes with unique skills, and not every resource is going to be the right fit for every project. So just because someone has availability does not mean that they are the right person to be staffed to this project.

Why should you attend?
Resourcing and recruitment strategies are often confused but the terms are not interchangeable. A recruitment strategy is about how you’re going to hire the people you need to succeed. It forms part of your resourcing strategy but is only one element.
Resourcing strategy is the bigger picture of how your organization can meet its strategic objectives through its people. While that does include recruitment, it also looks at talent retention and development, employer brand, resource planning and utilization, and more.
In other words, recruitment is about selling a job to someone willing and able to do it. Resourcing is about looking at the long-term needs of the organization and it requires a far more holistic approach.
This webinar will examine the differences between the two concepts and explain why both is an important next step in winning the war for talent.
