Create a Talent Acquisition Strategy

Optimize foundational elements to elevate the TA function.

Book This 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.
