Why an emerging talent strategy is your competitive edge for a sustainable workforce
The need for skilled employees is more pressing than ever. But traditional hiring and training pathways can’t meet the growing demand. The solution: An emerging talent strategy that enables you to build, not just buy, the capabilities needed for the future.
We’re frequently asked…
Emerging talent refers to individuals at the beginning of a new career trajectory – whether they’re just starting, switching paths, or reskilling to adapt to an evolving world of work. This includes graduates, apprentices, career changers, workforce returners, and high-potential employees positioned for critical future roles.
Early talent typically focuses on new graduates, interns, or apprentices with limited professional experience. Emerging talent is broader and more inclusive – spanning multiple career stages, backgrounds, and skill sets – and prioritizes adaptability, skills-first hiring, and long-term growth potential.
Traditional early career hiring models aren’t enough to meet future workforce demands. Organizations must build sustainable, diverse pipelines of future-ready candidates by embracing a skills-first, inclusive approach that evolves with market needs, technology advancements, and demographic shifts.
Cielo’s emerging talent strategies integrate early careers and emerging talent strategies into your broader workforce planning. We deliver market insights, employer branding, inclusive hiring models, and tech-enabled experiences to attract, develop, and retain the next generation of talent at scale.
