Create a Talent Acquisition Strategy
Optimize foundational elements to elevate the TA function.
Onsite Workshop
Without an effective talent acquisition (TA) strategy, organizations:
- Are unprepared to combat talent shortages that will be compounded by increasing retirement numbers and shifting skills demand.
- Risk hiring the wrong talent – an expensive, resource-consuming mistake.
- Struggle to track meaningful people analytics or keep up with technology.
By developing an effective TA strategy, HR is better able to:
- Attract and retain the right talent.
- Enhance quality of hire to better achieve organizational goals and objectives.
- Improve TA team competency to create a more effective and strategic TA function.
