Recruitment Strategy Roadmap

This is a model adapted from the RL100 Template Database (https://resourcingleaders.co/).

This template is a recruiting organisation maturity model. This will help you to design and build your long-term strategy, OKRs, and initiatives. The visual helps your teams to know what to expect over a two-year period.

How to use the template:

The Recruitment Strategy Roadmap is a powerful tool designed to assist Human Resources (HR) teams in developing and implementing an effective recruitment strategy. By following this roadmap, HR teams can optimize their recruitment processes, attract top talent, and drive business success. 

Follow the steps below to get the most out of this template for you and your team:

Step 1: Assess the current state:

Begin by evaluating your organization's current recruitment practices. Use the provided table to document your current state across three main pillars: Process, Data & Technology, and People. Describe each development stage (Baseline, Developing, Maturing) across each of the five main pillars: Planning, Employer Brand, Sourcing, Assessment, and Onboarding. 

Each pillar represents a key aspect of the recruitment process, and customizing them allows you to focus on areas that require the most attention. This will serve as a guide for HR teams to work towards and measure progress.

Step 2: Repeat the framework for future state:

Next, use the same table to clearly define your recruitment goals for the next 12 months and 24 months. Highlight where you want to be in each timeframe and provide additional context to ensure clarity and alignment with organizational objectives.

Step 3: Track progress and adjust:

Regularly review and update your Recruitment Strategy Roadmap to track progress and make necessary adjustments. Use the measurement framework and reporting section to capture important touchpoints of the candidate journey. Continuously monitor the effectiveness of your recruitment efforts and adapt strategies accordingly. 

After you’ve completed the three tables for current state, 12 months, and 24 months, you can use your future-state goals to set goals, objectives, or OKRs for your recruitment strategy.
