The talent acquisition function within HR has traditionally dealt with ensuring that the right candidates are acquired. But given the urgency within businesses to scale today, it is poised to play a much more vital role.
Companies today operate in a competitive business environment. With changes in technology and consumer preferences, businesses are in demand of quality talent that can support their adaptive and agile plans for growth. The recently launched LinkedIn India Recruiting Trends Report highlights a similar concern. The report states that around 83 percent recruiters surveyed globally state that talent is the number one priority in their companies. This reflects the growing need within organizations to have skilled employees that can support their need to be agile and leverage newer technologies and work design principles to become more productive.
Given the growing need for quality talent within organizations has been more than ever, the influence and scope of the Talent Acquisition function have also evolved over the years. Today its scope not just limited to the act of finding the right recruits. As it grows to become a vital function that has a direct role in supporting business initiatives, it encompasses a rather long-term approach towards hiring and managing talent within the company. Responsible for creating an approach which is aimed at making the company ready for uncertain future recruitment conditions, while addressing the talent needs of today. This has translated into both the TA heads and the front line recruiters paying a close attention to how they source and assess the quality of the candidates they bring into the company.
