A PwC research reveals that finding the right talent is the biggest challenge that keeps CEOs awake at night. In this rapidly transforming business scenario, CHROs and Recruitment leaders are going back to the drawing board to redefine talent acquisition to ensure "Right Recruiting" and "Recruiting Right". As Kip Tindell, Chief executive of the Container Store once said that one great employee can replace three good employees; the talent acquisition function today needs to be "right" in identifying candidates, assessing them for relevant competencies, ensuring culture-fit through the use of intelligent tools and technologies while maintaining cost effectiveness.

To enable and empower leaders to manage the dynamic nature of Talent Acquisition and the related complexities, People Matters presents Talent Acquisition Leadership League Conference in June 2017, where global thought-leaders and experts will divulge into the critical aspects of talent acquisition including tenets of delivering on the business expectations, future of the talent sources and what is it that they need to do to partner with the business and set the right foundations of success with the right talent.
