HR Talent IQ is all about knowledge sharing. There’s a lot of talk about things that are taking the talent acquisition industry by storm, like powerful HR technology, stronger employer brand strategies and trading in the traditional post and pray recruiting strategy for targeted passive candidate sourcing. Very little of this talk is around actionable steps we can take as recruitment professionals to really improve our recruiting process and knowledge.

Here, you’ll find resources, guides and recruitment tools you can use so you don’t have to start from scratch.

The goal is to elevate talent acquisition and make sure it’s not stuck in the dark ages.

Unlike most who fell into recruitment, I knew I wanted to be a recruiter. I found my first job as a recruiter doing something that would come in handy down the road – cold calling recruitment agencies until I convinced several to interview me. The strategy worked and I ended up with a job I loved in a boutique agency as a 360-recruiter.

After a few years in agency and several more as an Independent Recruiter working on technical roles, I decided I wanted to experience the other side of the tracks.

So I went in-house as a Corporate Recruiter. Needless to say, it was a very different world. I talk about my slight culture shock here. I saw the realities of in-house life –some good and some not so good.

Marketing, Technology and Recruitment…

These three things have always fascinated me and it’s exciting to see Talent Acquisition tying them all together.
