Strengthen Your Talent-Management Capabilities with Rob Sher, Founder and CEO of Mastering Midsized

Talent â€” finding people, keeping people, and helping people give their best â€” is the #1 challenge businesses face. And for mid-sized companies, fighting the â€œwar for talentâ€ is particularly hard. In this episode of The Leading Edge, Thomas A. Stewart talks to Rob Sher about how middle-market enterprises can transform recruiting processes, develop a high-quality talent pool, and drive long-term growth.

According to Rob Sher, an expert on middle-market companies, there are three drivers for successful growth: recruiting valuable candidates, developing talent, and leading teams â€” but most company leaders donâ€™t open up these processes to see how to do them better. By creating a persuasive recruiting process that highlights your employer brand, you can effectively acquire new talent and remain involved in future employment searches. Successful midsized businesses must place value in current and potential employees to facilitate next-level brand growth. As Sher says, this is the secret to becoming an industry leader.
