Talent Acquisition: Ahead of the game

From improving talent quality, building trust among stakeholders involved in talent acquisition, to driving business impact, the talent acquisition function does more than just filling positions — today, the TA function creates comprehensive talent solutions for an organization. 

In an endeavor to delve deeper into the diverse and critical aspects of talent acquisition, People Matters organized the Talent Acquisition League Annual Conference 2017 that brought together more than 400 HR Heads, CHROs and TA experts from around the world to share their insights and best practices in talent acquisition. 

In this special feature, we look at some of the seminal talent interventions brought about by the organizations that won the Talent Acquisition League Awards 2017 in the key categories — candidate experience, diversity, employer branding, recruitment reengineering and social hiring. 

The TA League Awards saw more than 300 applications for the five award categories and the selection process commenced with the screening of the applications followed by their evaluation by a distinguished jury that comprised industry HR leaders from diverse organizations. After carefully vetting each application on the basis of the responses to a questionnaire that asked them about their business challenges related to the TA space, and the solutions they came up with, the top three applications were shortlisted category-wise. The jury selected one winner in each category from the shortlisted best practices during the final round at the League Awards evening.

Each case in the following feature describes the problem statement identified by the organization’s Talent Acquisition team, the solution they chose to implement and the impact it made on the organizational performance metrics. 

Let’s have a look at our winners who have the best practices in the industry that are creating solutions for business challenges in the recruitment space.
