TAP-Talent Acquisition Professional

Last year around this time, I wrote about Birth of a Community, IT Recruiter, the article mentioned about how the community emerged over a period of time. With the increasing demand, recruitment has become refined and the refinement is visible with the evolving specializations of recruiters, like campus, channel, direct, senior, technology, tech-support, non-technology, Call center and many more. There are specialist recruiters for product companies, service companies and another set for captive units. Despite the developments in the field, recruitment is taught for 1-2 hours at MBA courses and as a process in the HRD function. In absence of a proper training either in-house or by external facilitators, recruiters have had their learning from being all over the place online with few requirements to managing the overall process to get the hired on board. 


Organisations definitely need a proper perspective, understanding and learning of the talent acquisition as a system, as a process and as a business function. This coming season is a challenge for the recruiters, as there are a lot of open positions in the junior cadres and there are minimum slots for senior levels with specific and more demanding competencies. What it means is that at the junior levels there are in search, assess, selection mode and for senior levels they are elimination mode.

Talent Acquisition Professionals(TAPs) are always learning with every interaction.

Happy Recruiters Day

IT TAKES Talent to spot Talent! A tone deaf will never be able to appreciate the music of maestros. Only a seasoned jeweller would know that all that glitters is not real! And, only those who can recognise the worth of a diamond can value it, for others it's just a stone! Talent is doing easily what others find difficult.

Talent Acquisition covers the process of identifying, sourcing, selecting, and on-boarding new employees into a company, and is often seen by the business as one of the most important HR disciplines.

Key role of the talent acquisition specialist is to engage in the task of screening potential employees who are located and contacted for interviews. Typically, the specialist will conduct the initial interview.
