Introduction

Strategic resourcing is a key part of strategic human 

resource management, ie matching human resources 

to the strategic and operational requirements of the 

organization and ensuring the full utilization of those 

resources. It is concerned not only with obtaining 

and  keeping  the  number  and  quality  of  staff  

required  but  also  with  selecting  and  promoting  

people  who  ‘fit’  the  culture  and  the  strategic  

requirements of the organization.

The objective of strategic 

resourcing

Strategic resourcing aims to ensure that the organ-

ization has the people it needs to achieve its business 

goals.  Like  strategic  HRM,  strategic  resourcing  is 

essentially  about  the  integration  of  business  and 

employee  resourcing  strategies  so  that  the  latter 

contribute to the achievement of the former.
