Summary

Talent acquisition is the process of finding and hiring the high-quality talent needed to meet the organization’s workforce needs.

Talent acquisition involves recruitment and selection—much like managing the supply chain.

Recruiting is the process of generating a pool of qualified applicants for an organization’s jobs through a series of activities.

Recruiting must be viewed strategically and tied to HR planning.

Recruiting is a shared responsibility between HR and line managers, and each group contributes specific expertise to the process.

Developing and managing the employer brand is an important aspect of attracting the most appropriate individuals to the organization.

Organizations utilize both core and flexible workers to produce goods and services.

The decision to use internal or external recruiting sources should take into account the advantages and disadvantages of each source. Efforts should be made to recruit a diverse workforce, including older workers, individuals with disabilities, women, and members of various racial/ethnic groups.

Elements of the labor market are labor force population, applicant population, and applicant pool.

Labor markets can be categorized by geographic area, industry, occupation, qualifications, and other characteristics.

Technology has had a major impact on recruiting, and social media and other Internet platforms are important sources of applicants.

While Internet recruiting may save money and time, it may also generate more unqualified applicants and may not reach certain groups of potential applicants.

The most common methods of internal recruiting include job postings and career plans, organizational databases, employee-focused recruiting, and rerecruiting of former employees and applicants.

The most common external recruiting sources are media, competitors, labor unions, employment agencies, job fairs and other special events, and educational institutions.

Recruiting efforts should be evaluated to assess the effectiveness of the methods and approaches.
