Talent Summit 2022: How to Shift TA from a Cost Center to a Strategic Function

Recruiting teams have become more data-driven than ever in recent years. As this shift happens, the organizations they’re embedded in are finally viewing recruiting less as a cost center or administrative function and more as a key strategic partner to the business. In the best of cases, recruiting has become such a strategic differentiator that companies are willing to invest all the resources they can to achieve the headcount that will drive their business goals. But if your business doesn’t have that view of recruiting yet, how do you make the case for your team as a strategic partner—one with acute talent market intelligence, insights about role prioritization and org growth, capacity models that are bound to impact your headcount plan, and more? Executive Director of Hiring Success Allyn Bailey will deep-dive into the strategies she’s implemented over the years to transform business’ views of the recruiting function. In a moment like ours, in which talks of hiring slowdowns feel ubiquitous, the question of how recruiting can become (and remain!) a strategic function is more important than ever.
