Moving from Recruitment to Strategic Talent Acquisition

Thursday, 1 December 2016 @ 9:30 am - 4:00 pm

£399.00
Moving from Recruitment to Strategic Talent Acquisition

Recruitment is going through a major shift at the moment, responding to the already somewhat more positive economic environment and the renewed focus on the war for talent given rising skills shortages, as well as changing candidate expectations. Smart organisations are also taking advantage of new opportunities and meeting new requirements for looking for the best candidates using increasingly diverse sources and by using a range of different approaches.

This seminar will review the major inputs to the shift in recruitment, using research, case examples, and the trainer’s and participants’ own experiences. In addition, the course will consider the impacts of the shift on participants’ recruitment activities, recruiter capabilities and their recruitment functions.

  • VPs, Directors and managers of talent management, staffing, resourcing, recruitment and talent acquisition
  • HR staff concerned with employer branding or how they can best integrate with Recruitment
  • Staff from recruitment agencies and RPO providers
