talent acquisition

For many of Corvus Strategic Advisors' prospective clients, educating and defining what Talent Acquisition is may not be necessary. But for some, the terminology is often interchangeable with Human Resources, however different their responsibilities actually are. It's important to understand these differences when considering how Talent Acquisition operationally impacts decisions made by buying teams, and why we take a concentrated approach in ensuring TA is set up for success.

Human Resources typically manages an employee lifecycle from offer letter through exit, while Talent Acquisition is accountable for recruitment and talent attraction. Their feedback and ability to inform decisions for talent management strategies are critical to an organizations success.

When considering the day to day activities that belong to TA, one can see the value in having a self-managed MSP, or direct sourcing program fall under their scope. But where do they start? How do they validate whether there are additional opportunities for optimization, or identify risk? How do they scale a direct sourcing program? CSA can advise a Talent Acquisition team on the best practices they can leverage for operational success for both existing and new programs.  Examples of past work in this area have included:

• Launching a Gen 1 direct sourcing program for associate and variable staffing pools.
• Creating SOP's and workflows that allow for easy to scale programs.
• Implementation for SaaS platforms to be leveraged internally to manage programs.
• Providing training on new technology use and opportunities for enhancement.
