How to build an effective talent acquisition strategy.

Some HR departments today seem to spend all of their time in reactive mode. They’re either backfilling for unanticipated vacancies, reacting to ever-shifting business priorities that have created new talent needs — or rushing to put out some other fire. But it doesn’t have to be that way.

With a best-in-class Talent Acquisition (TA) strategy in place, HR teams can be far more proactive and value-adding in their approach. Instead of scrambling to cover short-term needs, these teams are fully integrated into the long-term business planning process and better aligned with senior leaders on big-picture goals. What’s more, they’re able to map their existing talent capabilities to match the business strategy — including plans for adopting new technologies.
