What does a talent acquisition do?

Talent acquisition is a function within human resources that is responsible for finding, attracting, and hiring top talent for an organization. The goal of talent acquisition is to ensure that a company has a pipeline of qualified candidates for current and future job openings. Talent acquisition professionals use a variety of strategies to identify and engage potential candidates, including job postings, social media, employee referrals, and recruitment events. They also screen and evaluate candidates, conduct interviews, and make hiring recommendations to management. The talent acquisition process may also involve developing and implementing employer branding and marketing strategies to enhance the company's reputation as a desirable place to work. In addition, talent acquisition professionals may work to build relationships with candidates and maintain contact with potential candidates who were not selected for a particular job opening, but who may be a good fit for future opportunities. Overall, talent acquisition plays a critical role in ensuring that an organization has the right people with the right skills and experience to achieve its business objectives.

Is talent acquisition the same as HR?

Talent acquisition and human resources (HR) are related but distinct functions within an organization. While both talent acquisition and HR are concerned with managing personnel, their primary focuses differ. HR is generally responsible for the overall management of an organization's employees, including tasks such as developing and enforcing policies and procedures, handling employee relations, managing benefits and compensation, and providing support for employee development and training. On the other hand, talent acquisition specifically focuses on the process of recruiting and acquiring talent for an organization, including developing and executing recruitment strategies, sourcing and evaluating candidates, and managing the hiring process. While HR may be involved in certain aspects of the talent acquisition process, such as onboarding new hires and managing employee development, the two functions have different goals and responsibilities.
