What is Talent Acquisition?
Talent acquisition is the ongoing strategy of identifying, attracting, and hiring skilled workers to meet current and future organizational needs.
Why it matters in hiring
Talent Acquisition comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
