I think most of us know what the role of Talent Acquisition is within a company, but do you know the difference between a Talent Acquisition professional and a true Talent Advisor? Joining me for this episode was Ms. Haley Burrow, The Talent Acquisition Manager for the Americas at Cochlear, the world's leading hearing implant Med-Tech organization.Haley got her start in recruitment just about 20 years ago having had the opportunity to work for organizations like Lakeshore Learning, Sports Authority, and DirecTV prior to joining Cochlear. Haley also had the opportunity to gain valuable 3rd party, search experience by leading a team of recruiters at a search firm in the suburbs of Denver, CO.With the market as topsy turvy as it is so many talented Recruiters & Talent Acquisition professionals are finding themselves victims to layoffs on the daily....but are organizations being shortsighted by continuing this vicious cycle that is so prevalent in this functional area of a business (hire, layoff, hire layoff).During this episode Haley & I discussed:-The differences between Talent Acquisition & Talent Advisory-How a true Talent Advisor can have massive, positive impact on a business' overarching sustaining, growth, & retention strategies-What Executives should be asking themselves before they decide to layoff Recruiting or TA staff...and so much more! I really enjoyed this conversation and hope you find value from it as well.
