People provide the main competitive advantage in organisations; forming the lifeblood, driving profit, revenue and growth. Yet, even recognising this critical factor, there is a dangerous disconnect between talent leaders and business leaders when it comes to measuring the language of success for recruitment.

How do people affect business performance and how close is the link between a well aligned recruitment function and business performance?

Futurestep invited a number of Australasian business leaders to discuss “how recruitment provides your business with competitive advantage” and combined the insights with input from 50 Australasian talent leaders from a variety of leading companies.

This whitepaper draws on the findings of those discussions and our own expertise to reveal how a disconnect between talent and business leaders can be bridged to provide companies with, The People Edge.
