Internal Mobility and Evolving Talent Acquisition with Lisa Starin, Director of Talent Acquisition and Talent Management at Baylor Scott & White Health

In this episode of the TA Leaders podcast, we have a great discussion with Lisa Starin, Director of Talent Acquisition and Talent Management at Baylor Scott & White Health. Lisa is currently serving in a dual role. She leads the talent acquisition team of 22 members. She also serves as the interim talent management director in charge of a new performance management framework and platform for 50,000+ employees.

Interestingly, Lisa started her career in a hybrid role as office support and an associate recruiter. But she took the opportunity to become a full-fledged recruiter as soon as it became available. She shares the “old school” recruiting method she mainly used at the beginning of her career, and why she wouldn’t change anything about her early days.

Lisa spent about 17 years at UnitedHealth Group as a recruiter, recruiting manager, and a few other roles. She’s spent most of her career in what she calls “the business of people” and “being able to match careers with unique talent.”

In her current role, Lisa and her team hire approximately 12,000 – 13,000 people per year. She shares how they’ve had interesting challenges in the healthcare industry in the middle of the pandemic.

Lisa also talks about some of the biggest challenges and initiatives they’re working on moving forward, including some significant changes in workflows for specific roles and what they’re doing to help with internal mobility.

Finally, Lisa shares what she sees for the future of talent acquisition. She mentions what she’s focused on improving to help with internal mobility at Baylor Scott & White Health, as well as some great insights into how all professionals should be approaching talent acquisition.
