Conclusion
 INTRODUCTION

First and foremost, 'TALENT ACQUISITION' forms a part of a much broader

strategic approach in the corporate quest to gain and sustain a competitive
advantage in today's marketplace. Other aspects include talent development,
retention and transition, these are primarily inward facing, whilst the former is
outward looking.
The core concept of talent acquisition is to get away from the 'fill in the box'
thinking to one that is more pro-active and much closer to building the skill sets
required to achieve business success. Traditionally, a recruitment need occurs when
an individual either leaves or is promoted to another function. That's when panic
can set in, especially if no suitable internal solution is found, a situation that is
becoming known as - "under the bus syndrome". Strong relationship building or
networking skills are important here. The key to success in talent acquisition is the
unique way that you are able to tap into the 'top performers' who are not really
looking for another job. They never read the traditional job ads or go to the job
boards on the Internet.Strategic Talent Acquisition takes a long-term view of not
only filling positions today, but also using the candidates that come out of a
recruiting campaign as a means to fill similar positions in the future.
These future positions may be identifiable today by looking at the succession
management plan, or by analyzing the history of attrition for certain positions. This
makes it easy to predict that specific openings will occur at a pre-determined period
in time.
In the most enlightened cases of Strategic Talent Acquisition, clients will recruit
today for positions that do not even exist today but are expected to become
available in the future. Most of the money spent on Strategic Talent Acquisition
would have been spent in a tactical recruiting mandate anyway. The only additional
cost is in collecting data on high-potential candidates and then keeping in touch
with them until hire is made. The additional cost becomes insignificant compared to
the value of hiring top competitive talent over time.
Strategic Talent Acquisition allows us access to a pool of competitive talent that
would otherwise have been missed or even worse, ignored.Clearly the business
case for acquiring talent strategically is far more compelling than simply paying to
fill positions today. What we are doing is adding a small incremental effort, in
exchange for a huge potential rew

yet know how to do like

motivated to learn d2k functions as they both are related to professionally
enhance the person.

Conclusion

, As the talent war intensifies, the need for long-term, strategic talent acquisition
has become paramount. HR managers can no longer merely react to yearly and
monthly hiring needs. They must learn to plan ahead to deal with the multiple
waves of retirement on the horizon and adapt strategies to mitigate the high
turnover risk that comes with hiring the newest generation of talent.In this war,
there is no “silver bullet” that will ensure a company succeeds in its efforts to build
a productive, sustainable, adaptable workforce capable of meeting and exceeding
the organization’s goals. Select International consistently imparts to its business
partners that achieving victory will only come from devising and implementing a
multi-faceted talent acquisition strategy, one that takes short-term and long-term
needs into account.
we believe that Talent Acquisition needs to be addressed at the most senior levels
within nucleus organisations – be it strategic business unit head or CEO of the
company. This means that Talent Acquisition needs to fit 'hand in glove' with the
overall organisational strategy. It needs to have the appropriate level of resources
behind it; it needs to be monitored and reported on at all board meetings and it
needs to involve many people within the organisation who attribute to it the
importance that the organisation requires.
