What is Talent Acquisition?
Talent
acquisition is the process of attracting, finding
and hiring skilled human
labor for organizational needs in order to meet labor
requirements.
In
the process of talent acquisition (TA), the main goal is to recognize and meet all the labor
requirements a company may have. When used in the context of the
recruiting and Human Resources (HR), talent acquisition usually refers to the talent acquisition department or
team within the Human Resources department.
Talent
Acquisition teams are usually responsible for finding, acquiring, assessing, and hiring candidates
to fill open job position.
Talent Acquisition process
The
process of Talent Acquisition and the way we recruit
have changed dramatically. While sourcing talent and posting
jobs on job boards used to be primary TA methods, this is not the case any
more.
Talent
Acquisition today looks much different. Talent Acquisition professionals need
to have many more skills, as their main job has become to attract talent. With that
being their primary goal, many TA professionals are now expected to be able to
plan and implement successful Employer
Branding and Social
Recruiting strategies.
Talent
Acquisition and Candidate Journey
Today's
candidates go through different stages of candidate journey than they used to
few years back.
When
looking for jobs, they now have a lot of information available. It is not
enough to just show them open positions and expect them to apply. Candidates
now, after they become aware of your company and job opening, need to be
attracted to choose you as their employer of choice.
People
are the single most important drivers of every company's success. That makes
Talent Acquisition one of the most important, if not the most important,
departments of every firm.
However,
the role of every talent acquisition specialist is complex, and it holds a lot
of responsibility. Many TA professionals today need to know not only how to
find and hire people but also how to use Recruitment Marketing strategies,
provide exceptional candidate experience, encourage candidate
engagement, and develop a successful candidate
relationship management strategy.
