Ep 567: The Strategic Future Of Talent Acquisition

Recruiting Future with Matt Alder

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.

My guest this week is Marcel Rütten. Marcel is a consultant, author, podcaster, conference organiser and former Global TA Leader who knows what it takes to build a highly strategic TA function.

In the interview, we discuss:

• Talent market trends

• Tools and technologies

• Root cause analysis

• The balance between time, cost and quality
