In order for TA teams to be successful in this tight employee market, they must be at the top of their games in terms of hiring. Yet one of the fundamental challenges facing TA at the moment is the sheer difficulty in finding both recruiters and talent. But how do you rise above the fray? How do you position yourself and the organization in prime position to snag and retain talent?

According to our guest this week, it’s all about going back to basics. Brad Cook is the VP of Global Talent Acquisition at Intuitive – a corporation that develops, manufactures, and markets robotic products for minimally invasive surgery. Brad will be chatting to us about the importance of getting the fundamentals right, particularly in terms of outbound search, candidate experience and job descriptions. We’ll also be looking at the importance of data and metrics to diagnose where there may be problem areas in the TA process, so solutions can be found quickly and effectively.
