TALENT ACQUISITION

STRATEGIES FOR TALENT ACQUISITION
• Align Talent Acquisition strategy and efforts across the
business units- creating Regional Recruiters
• Manage system requisitions and rollout- by creating
procedures, reporting, training
• Time to fill- Average is 55 days in 2015 for 2016 we will
reduce this number to under 30 days campus wide.
Which in turn will reduce cost to overtime for the sites.
Our goal is to average 14 days time to fill hourly roles
• Leveraging our social media sites, Linked in…
• (CRM)- Candidate relationship management- building
upon the candidate experience- they will then recruit for
us to work at Westgate

STRATEGIES FOR TALENT ACQUISITION
• Hiring Top talent- For Sales Executives wooing them to work for
Westgate, selling culture, potential and work life balance
• Hiring Managers buy into Talent Acquisition which should
include collaboration in hiring decision.
• Consensus with HM , Recruiter and assessments.
• Training to ensure we hire the right fit for the role. Creating
processes that allow us to determine hiring decisions- I will
create process by intake sessions with HM, interviewing notes,
consensus forms
• Manage expectations to new hire to decrease turnover.
• Unified recruiting- which brings together people, processes
and technology. Training on VE to ensure all HM’s are
understanding of ATS system. Take out the work for HM’s
replace with Recruiters to do full life cycle recruiting

RECRUITING
• Increase recruiter and candidate satisfaction. This will
allow recruiters to spend more time focusing on the best
available talent.
• Enhance the Employer Brand- to ensure job seekers
understand, culture and differentiators before the apply.
• Metrics to include the following:
• Time to fill- 30 days
• Candidates per requisition-3- 5 per req.
• Time to interview, offer and board- 7-10 days
• Weekly Scorecard Reports to include all sites open
positions and where they are in process- followed up
with a call to GM’s, HR, Sales for collaboration and status
of when roles are at and potential fill date, this will build
and foster relationships and overall communication.

TALENT ACQUISITION STRUCTURE
• Best in class talent acquisition separates the well
performing from the best performing companies. Talent
Acquisition functions- especially recruiting- Drive
Revenue growth and contribute more to ROI
• HR at each site will collaborate with the recruitment
team to ensure hiring process is executed in a timely
manner.
• Creating a TA structure, implementing processes to keep
us legally compliant, efficient and will increase Hiring,
reducing turnover.
• 90 focus group meetings with Sales, Resort Operations
with new hires to do a pulse check on new hires.

TALENT ACQUISITION
RECRUITING STRUCTURE
• Take the time Hiring Managers spend recruiting and
managing system, uploading notes, setting up interviews and
sourcing for candidates, Recruiters will take over that.
• Make hiring decisions based on relevant job criteria, not
instinct.
• Structure interviews for competency based data collection-
behavioral based interviewing, i.e. Rooms, Sales and F&B
• VJT- virtual job tryout for Sales Executives
• Patrol websites such as Glassdoor to learn what candidates
and employees are saying about our interview process.
• Ensure all procedures are in place when we do have a
transfer, termination occur so we are capturing accurate
data.

them in roles within 20 days, targeted hard to fill roles
