How to be a strategic talent acquisition pro
summary
Lists nine practical tactics that require little budget and actually change hiring outcomes: analyze sources (Sodexo finds 90% of hires were internals and reallocates effort), run batch on-site “interview days” (client work shows interview days produced 3:1 interview-to-offer and same-day offers), reduce excessive interviewers to avoid false negatives, surface time-by-stage bottlenecks (Adidas-style analytics), outsource low-value text screens (Pinterest example) and build pre-funnel hiring manager activities like coffee chats and webinars.
