Show Notes
These are turbulent times for talent acquisition, particularly for those teams operating in the technology sector. Despite the continuing demand for technology skills, layoffs are still happening, with many TA teams now considerably downsized from where they were a couple of years ago.
Proving TA's strategic and monetary value has never been more critical, so how can TA leaders make their business case against such a challenging backdrop?
My guest this week is Sam Bethoud, VP of Talent Solutions at hackajob. Sam combines his experience working with a vast number of talent acquisition leaders with hackajob's huge dataset to provide some excellent insights into the tech recruiting market and highly actionable advice on tactics TA can employ to prove the scale of its value to the business.
In the interview, we discuss:
- The current state of the tech recruiting market
- TA's commercial impact
- How does TA create measurable monetary value?
- The importance of data
- How else can TA be strategic?
- Changing job seeker behaviour
- What impact will AI have on the future?
