For years, managers have said, “people are our greatest asset.” It's become a trite, overused mantra.

Meanwhile, few companies have turned this belief into action and actively pursued directed strategies organized around recruiting the truly best talent. We find this curious because it is well known that organizations achieving excellence in this endeavor consistently rank among the top performers in their business categories.

In today’s environment, more and more organizations are realizing that the only truly sustainable competitive advantage is highly talented and motivated people. Unfortunately, this has caused high quality talent to be in short supply, particularly in health care. Therefore, the competition among health care organizations to recruit the best talent is fierce.

Convincing the very best to join your company is one of your business’ greatest challenges. Recruiting the best involves a well-orchestrated process, perfect-pitch communication and highly developed assessment tools. Enter Periscope from Agilence, developed to win the war for talent.

Many executives point to the expense of quality talent recruiting and also wish to avoid the inevitable “problems” and perceived inequities introduced by recruiting the best talent into their organizations.
