Talent Acquisition

Finding and attracting the right candidates, not just any candidates.

Talent acquisition works best when it's treated as an ongoing relationship-building function, not a reactive scramble that only starts once a role opens.

Practical approaches

  • Keep a warm pipeline of past strong candidates who weren't right for a previous role but could be for a future one
  • Write job postings that describe the actual day-to-day work, not just a wish list of requirements
  • Make the early stages of the process fast — strong candidates are rarely on the market for long
  • Ask every new hire where they heard about the role, and double down on what's actually working
