Advisory
Talent Acquisition designed to deliver for the business.
Marexo starts by understanding the organisation, its strategy and goals, where the business is heading and what it needs from Talent Acquisition.
We then examine how Talent Acquisition operates today, including its operating model, functional capability and how it connects with the wider people team and business, to determine what needs to change.
Discuss your operating modelHow Marexo works
Talent Acquisition as a connected function.
These four areas do not operate independently. Strategy determines what the business needs from Talent Acquisition. The operating model establishes how the function is organised to deliver it. Functional capability determines whether the team has the leadership, expertise and agency to contribute effectively. Intelligence and enablement give the function the insight, technology and tools to act.
Marexo considers them together because a change in one often depends on the others. Technology, for example, creates limited value if the team is not equipped to use it. Better market intelligence has limited impact if Talent Acquisition is not connected to the business decisions where that intelligence matters.
Strategy & integration
Alignment with business direction and the wider organisation.
Functional capability
Leadership, roles, skills and capacity.
Operating model
How the function is structured, governed and organised.
Intelligence & enablement
Workforce insight, talent markets and technology.
What this can change in practice
Change where the evidence shows it is needed.
The evidence determines where change is needed. Depending on the organisation, that may mean strengthening one part of the function or changing several connected elements together.
Closer connection to the business
Clarify how Talent Acquisition connects with business planning, the wider people team and the points where future capability needs become visible.
Clearer roles and accountability
Shape leadership, roles, decision rights and team capability around what the function is expected to contribute.
Better use of intelligence
Strengthen how workforce insight, talent-market knowledge and business context inform decisions, rather than sitting separately from them.
Technology that enables the model
Align technology and ways of working with the operating model, and build the adoption needed for improvements to work in practice.
From evidence to implementation
Evidence informs the design. The design shapes the change.
Marexo starts with evidence rather than a predetermined model. What we learn informs the design and, where required, Marexo can work with the organisation to put the changes into practice.
Evidence
Understand what matters.
Design
Define what is needed.
Implement
Put it into practice.
