Show Notes

One of the key themes from my conversations with TA practitioners on the podcast this year has been the importance of flexibility and agility. This isn't surprising, as we seem to be bouncing between panic mass hiring and panic mass layoffs faster than ever when it comes to in-house recruiting teams. This situation can't be sustainable! However, opportunity always comes out of chaos, and outsourcing to achieve the flexibility needed in these disruptive times is certainly something on the radar of many employers.


So how are RPOs evolving to meet the current market conditions, and what might the future of TA function look like?


My guest this week is Don Farr, Managing Director North America at Talent Works. Don is a highly experienced previous Head of Talent Acquisition and is the perfect person to talk to about the future relationship between TA and RPO.


In the interview, we discuss:


  • Talent Acquisition challenges for 2024


  • The evolution of RPO since the pandemic


  • Hybrid, customized and project-based.


  • RPOs versus Agencies


  • Implementation and Onboarding


  • Innovating with technology


  • What will the TA Team of the future look like?
