@ActusDei Your extreme bias is becoming quite evident now, usually you have been very objective.

When evaluating a company's attractiveness, consider not just what they offer on day one, but also where their employees came from and where their alumni are now. The talent flow will reveal more than everything you need to know!

The Talent Flow Matrix

When evaluating a potential employer, candidates often consider standard metrics such as salary, benefits, and job title. While these factors are important, they often overlook the feedback regarding the quality of work and the true value of working for the company.

Assuming all other factors are equal, the attractiveness and career-boosting potential of an organization can be assessed through a simple metric: Talent Flow.

[Vishal Katkoria @randomwalkt]

1) The Hub (High Inbound, High Outbound): A dynamic industry leader that attracts top talent from elite companies and sends employees to equally prestigious firms.

2) The Accelerator (Low Inbound, High Outbound): A training ground that hires junior or overlooked talent but provides exceptional internal training, skill development and work environment, leading to aggressive recruitment by elite companies.

3) The Value Trap (High Inbound, Low Outbound): A career cul-de-sac where a strong employer brand attracts top talent, but internal flaws lead to skill stagnation and burnout, forcing employees to take a step down when they leave.

4) The Dead End (Low Inbound, Low Outbound): A stagnant pool where talent is hired from lower-tier organizations and lost to similarly low-tier firms, offering no upward mobility.

Bangalore is so wannabe Mumbai! 😂

[𝐒𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐝𝐡𝐚 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐚 @samidhas]

Why Bangalore has India’s best billionaires. One reason Bangalore’s tycoons are different is that many of them have experience of being normal people. They have taken public transport and wrangled with public services. https://t.co/AWpnnC9Krm

Most of the MNCs in India had a standard playbook - find a brand in the global portfolio, match relevance for Indian consumer and launch in India.

Zero innovation, zero India-first consumer thinking, zero risk appetite in the local teams.

Unfortunately we have come to the end of road on this strategy and hence we are seeing an extended period of nominal or zero volume growth, also given the fact that inflation was not by their side for the last few quarters meant a double whammy!

However, their narratives for low growth keep changing to cover up for their incompetence - rural vs urban, monsoon issues, taxation etc etc.

HUL has not scaled a single organic brand over the past decade, leaving its growth dependent on an ageing portfolio.
