Introduction
If we are facing “skills crisis “why do some organizations seem to be affected while others continue to attract the best and brightest?
If there is a “War for talent “, why do some appear to be winning, while others are fighting a losing battle? Do these winners have a stronger brand, superior talent strategies better skilled recruitment and HR staff or smarter use of technology? The answer is yes, they will have all of these in some degree. The companies who are coming out on top in a tight labour market haven’t got there by chance, but through innovative practices underpinned by a strategic vision.

Who Are the Talents?
Talent is usually considered that people who are in the upper 10 percent of what they do. To be good at anything requires some knowledge, skills and technical know how.
