The EVP research reveals that establishing a formal strategy for EVP is still evolving for many organizations. The survey garnered responses from companies headquartered in 33 countries across 27 industries. Compelling findings include:
• The most important factors contributing to attracting and retaining talent are the opportunity to do challenging and meaningful work and belief in organizational vision and mission (both at 87%).

State of Talent Acquisition 2015 provides a deep understanding of employers' talent acquisition practices, their priorities, the use of technology to support their efforts, the metrics employed to evaluate performance, and the impact of making a bad hire.  The survey garnered responses from companies headquartered in 19 countries across 29 industries. Highlights include:

• "Bad Hires": Respondents consider an average of 9% of their hires made in the past 12 months to be "bad hires."
