Find out exactly where your talent function is losing ground and what to do about it.

Mining
Optimised to Transformational

A major Australian mining company was losing critical technical talent to global competitors with deeper pockets. We rebuilt their talent attraction and workforce planning capability to compete on more than salary, cutting time-to-fill for critical roles by 40% and building a proactive pipeline that now runs 6–12 months ahead of operational demand.

How long does the assessment take?

The diagnostic takes approximately 10 minutes. You'll rate statements about your organisation's current practices and the criticality of each capability for future success. 

Who should complete the assessment?

Chief People Officers, Talent Directors, HR Business Partners, and workforce planning leaders who understand their organisation's talent management capabilities and strategic objectives.

Is it really complimentary?

Yes, both the assessment and consultation are provided at no cost. This reflects Harrier's commitment to advancing talent management maturity across the Australian market.

Can I benchmark against other organisations?

Your consultation includes discussion of where organisations typically sit and what differentiates high-performing talent functions.  The benchmarks are based on our knowledge of what talent maturity levers drive organisational success, coupled with real world insight into the importance of each driver to the success of your business.

What if I'm not ready to make changes yet?

The assessment provides valuable insight regardless of implementation timeline. Many organisations use it for baseline measurement before strategic planning cycles or to build business cases for future investment.
