Talent Acquisition

Global Talent Acquisition Day, celebrated on the first Wednesday of September each year, is a day dedicated to recognizing and appreciating the essential role that talent acquisition plays in organizations worldwide. 

This day was established by the Association of Talent Acquisition Professionals and KRT Marketing to shed light on the efforts of talent acquisition professionals who tirelessly seek out and engage top talent for their organizations. 

The way we hire employees has evolved drastically over the last decade. Instead of relying on resumes and personal preferences to assess a candidate's qualifications, more employers are embracing data-driven hiring for better, more informed decisions.

As competition for top talent heats up among employers, organizations must stand out to the applicants they want to attract. One way to do this is to ensure an excellent candidate experience. Successful techniques like Lean thinking can help human resources and other team members find ways to improve the talent acquisition process and ensure a positive candidate experience.

Recruiters and talent acquisition leaders are focused on diversity and inclusion more today than ever before. Measuring DEI initiatives has become increasingly important for public companies.

Web3, which includes blockchain, decentralized applications (dApps), and smart contracts, is a relatively new technology, and it's still in its early stages of development. However, it has the potential to transform the world of talent acquisition in a number of significant ways.

Healthcare organizations and facilities generally serve many different patients. These patients belong to different demographics, such as age or race, or have a range of complex diagnoses or health needs, such as food insecurity or homelessness.

Hospitals are struggling to recruit and retain qualified staff, particularly nurses, physicians, and other clinical professionals. This is leading to increased stress on existing staff and impacting the quality of patient care.

The healthcare industry has evolved in recent years as technology continues to provide innovation for workers and patients alike. And like many industries since the beginning of the pandemic, healthcare organizations increasingly need to find qualified talent.

The healthcare industry is facing considerable challenges in recruiting and retaining top talent. With an aging population and a growing demand for services, healthcare organizations are seeking qualified professionals to meet patient needs. At the same time, high turnover rates and burnout are causing financial and operational disruptions.

Millions of Americans have changed or quit their jobs in recent years, leading to a movement now known as the “Great Resignation.” Over 38 million U.S. workers quit their jobs in 2021, and about 20 million quit in the first five months of 2022.
