Show Notes
Transforming TA into a strategic function that can prove its long-term value to the business has been a critical topic on the show this year.
AI, uneven talent markets and challenging economic factors continue to cause widespread market disruption, and TA leaders need to drive their function in a more strategic direction. As we race towards 2024, I will continue to seek out strategic thinkers who can share the insights we need to move the industry forward.
