Do you need to better identify quality talent?
Do you need to increase talent diversity?
Do you need to enable winning teams to drive business outcomes?
Rather than taking orders and recruiting on a position-by-position basis, you will move beyond the transactional elements of making the right hire, armed with a new set of competencies.
There are five pillars of an effective Talent Acquisition strategy. What are they?

- Pillar #1 – Align. The Talent Acquisition Strategist must understand business strategy in a way recruiters have never had to before;
- Pillar #2 – Segment. The Talent Acquisition Strategist must become proficient at segmenting roles to understand which positions most directly align to strategic execution as well as prioritising these roles when executing TA strategies;
- Pillar #3 – Brand. The Talent Acquisition Strategist is effective at first understanding the realities inside his organisation and then reflecting those realities to the candidates that are going to find them appealing;
- Pillar #4 – Pipeline. The Talent Acquisition Strategist is effective at building a database of potentially qualified, interested and available talent, maintaining a long-term communication strategy and further able to leverage the internal pipeline of competencies that allow organisations to redeploy talent where needed;
- Pillar #5 – Assess and Select. The Talent Acquisition Strategist is effective at providing expertise on assessment and selection and possesses a thorough understanding of the role’s requirements.
