Talent acquisition
The end-to-end function of finding and hiring people.
Talent acquisition is the end-to-end function of finding, attracting, assessing, and hiring people, spanning workforce planning, sourcing, and offer management. It is broader and more strategic than reactive recruitment, treating hiring as a continuous capability rather than a series of one-off vacancies. A strong employer brand and candidate experience are the inputs that make talent acquisition efficient and predictable.
