TALiNT Advantage
A different conversation In-house talent acquisition leaders are facing the toughest market this century; for many this is the hardest time in their career. Not only is hiring at a peak in most organisations but one of the most difficult roles to hire is a recruiter.
More than ever senior Talent Acquisition (TA) leaders are caught between management conversations on gaps in fulfilment and frustrated sourcing teams who are working hard but struggling to meet demand. It is a difficult and an isolated place to be. The feedback we hear most frequently is: “Thank goodness it is not just me.” IT’S THE RIGHT TIME However, with challenge comes opportunity. Talent acquisition is high on boardroom agendas, both in terms of finding it and keeping it. In-house talent leaders have a voice and provide an important bridge between talent market and talent demand. This is the time to step up.

A safe place to talk and share insight with senior peers offers both market understanding and a meaningful exchange of viewpoints. There are forums out there offering this discussion, but it can be difficult to have a voice in a cast of hundreds and, if the level of delegate is not right, valuable time is spent in “the weeds” and little insight is gained that can be taken away.
