The Most Unfair Thing TA Can Do Is Treat All Roles Equally (Room Ballroom B)

30 Nov 17
1:30 PM - 2:30 PM

Tracks: Talent Acquisition Strategy, Talent Experience Technology

Let’s face it, not all roles are equal in today’s organizations. In fact, treating all roles equally may actually repel the people your company needs in the most-critical roles while attracting the wrong people for other roles. The result is that the business and all employees will ultimately suffer. TA professionals at leading companies have begun to differentiate the way they hire and retain employees based on the criticality of the role and the scarcity of talent for those roles. A differentiated talent strategy is essential to be able to compete for top talent in the right roles, and to make the best use of limited TA resources. In this provocative session, Linda Brenner — who has held talent-management roles at The Gap, Pepsi and The Home Depot — will examine how organizations are reevaluating their entire talent acquisition process and landing on a new strategy based on a “critical roles” approach.
