WHY A FORWARD THINKING APPROACH TO TALENT ACQUISITION?
It feels as though everything in the world of talent is changing – from the way we recruit and attract people, as well as how we manage and reward them, to the way we learn, and how we curate and manage our entire work-life experience.

Terminology
Talent • For some organizations, talent refers to all employees;
for others, talent refers to critical roles, segments and positions
within the organization that create the most impact on business
goals.
Talent Management • has come to refer to the strategic people management
functions operating in organizations.
Talent Acquisition • a strategic approach to identifying, attracting and onboarding
talent to efficiently and effectively meet the dynamic business
needs of an organization – recruitment is a sub-set
The ART and SCIENCE…
Strategic Talent Acquisition is the art and science of competitive advantage in the acquisition of talent for the organization – a unique formula to each organization.
Art lies in the ability to shift based on
the attributes of the formula
Science is the mastery of the process and
technology formulas to acquire the
talent
