Talent acquisition includes the strategies, programs and processes used to identify, attract and onboard quality talent at your organization. It’s not just about hiring people. The goal is to meet dynamic business needs to enhance the success of your company. 

Talent acquisition is a strategic approach to identifying, attracting and onboarding quality talent to efficiently and effectively meet dynamic business needs. Recruitment is the tactical component of attracting and identifying job candidates. The difference comes down to connecting talent pipelines to business needs versus just addressing a momentary need. The two aren’t interchangeable. 

Talent acquisition vs. recruitment: What are the differences?

There are many moving parts to the process, but here are four core steps that’ll make your company shine:

  1. Create your talent acquisition team. Selecting the right people with the right skills is crucial. So is providing your team with the tools and technology to make it easier and quicker for them to do their jobs. To find the best talent, your TA team needs to have the best expertise. Working with an external partner is a great way to gain that expertise – in people, process and technology.

  2. Personalize your hiring process for each candidate. Each candidate has a different need and expectation. And this is only growing. Take into consideration a person’s age, individual circumstances, family situation, career background, motivations and goals. Make sure your process will flex so people have a customized, positive hiring experience.

  3. Adjust the use of technology. Some technology is ideal for certain candidates, but not for others. Executive positions for example require a more personal approach. Whereas chatbots may be just fine for high-volume roles.

  4. Treat candidates as employees. Make the hiring and onboarding process a breeze. Find ways to engage them throughout. Make it easy to find information on your company and what it’s like to work there. Don’t waste their time and make each step as easy as possible. This goes a long way in establishing a positive impression about your company – even if they end up not making it to the final round.

Talent acquisition recruits and onboards talent that aligns with the company’s business objectives. HR is much broader and covers the entire lifecycle of the employee from training to compensation to exit. The two functions do overlap, and it’s crucial for them to work closely to achieve business goals.
