Skill sets are only one piece of the workforce puzzle. For retention to improve, alignment with your company culture must come first. That’s why aligning recruiting with retention is a foundational part of our approach at Impact Workforce Solutions.
By taking time to study your current workforce strategy and your employer value proposition (EVP), we surface what makes your organization an attractive place to work and then align recruiting efforts accordingly.
If you don’t know what sets your company apart as an employer, we help you find that answer. Because until that clarity is in place, unnecessary turnover is often the result.
Watch the video below to hear why recruiting should start with discovery and why knowing your EVP could be the difference between turnover and traction.
Why this alignment matters
When there’s a strong cultural fit:
- Skills tend to develop more easily over time.
- Relationships form more naturally, improving collaboration.
- Engagement improves, and retention rates rise.
But when culture is mismatched — even if the technical skills are there — turnover increases, productivity suffers, and your workforce strategy becomes reactive instead of proactive.
At Impact, we see this all the time. Clients know what roles they need to fill but not why people should want to fill them. That’s where we come in — with tools, processes, and people focused on matching the right talent to the right environment.
The real cost of a mismatch
Recruiting without cultural alignment leads to:
- Increased onboarding and training costs
- Unnecessary turnover and rework
- A lack of trust between teams
- Lost momentum on key projects
We don’t treat workforce gaps like a revolving door. Our discovery process is designed to understand your organization from the inside out so we can match people who are more likely to grow, contribute, and stay.
“The alignment between culture and that fit in the organization is every bit as important — if not more — than the skill set.”
Let’s define what makes your company a great place to work
Before we ever recommend a candidate, we help define:
What kind of environment you’re offering
How your mission and values show up in day-to-day work
Why people choose to stay with you — and why some don’t
Armed with this insight, we make more informed hiring decisions by aligning recruiting with retention — prioritizing longevity, trust, and measurable outcomes over short-term fixes.
