It is too easy
To do the same old thing &
Get the same old results!

In smaller companies, heavy turnover or rapid growth can turn talent acquisition from a strategic planning initiative to a procedural administrative function.

When positions need to be filled quickly, it’s relatively easy for the process to become systematic and routine.

Periods of growth provide the perfect opportunity for leaders to step up and take a closer look at the acquisition process.

Talent acquisition is, fundamentally, a people process. When that process is broken, when the candidate experience is dissatisfactory, you run the risk of disengagement from the very beginning.

Join this webcast to discover:

1. How to evaluate your talent acquisition processes during times of growth and change to identify gaps
2. Ways to improve the candidate experience from pre-application to offer to onboarding
3. How to optimize engagement among candidates and empower them to stay engaged as they become integrated into the organization
