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
