Definition: Talent Acquisition & Staffing covers the process of sourcing, selecting, and on-boarding new employees into a company, and is often seen by the business as one of the most important HR disciplines. An 'end-to-end' internal recruiter will have full responsibility for defining a potential staffing need with the business, going to the market to find potential candidates, assessing candidates against a prescribed set of criteria, managing the interview process, negotiating employment terms with successful candidates, and ensuring the integration of these new employees into the company.
Suitability Factors: Talent Acquisition & Staffing experts need to be good communicators to attract and engage potential recruits. They need strong relationship management abilities in order to work with, and understand the needs of, internal business stakeholders. And they also need excellent coordination skills to ensure consistency and responsiveness at every stage of the Recruitment process. There are comparatively few barriers to entry into the world of in-house recruitment, but top-class practitioners who can successfully master these responsibilities remain hard to find. These people can expect good long-term careers in Recruitment leadership roles, although some expand their careers into other disciplines such as Talent Management or Generalist HR.
