Recruiting and talent acquisition (TA) may be entering its glow-up era. The days of just filling open reqs are numbered and companies are beginning to ask more from recruiters in an AI-enabled era, according to new research from LinkedIn.
Some 75% of talent pros say their job is harder than ever amid external, internal, and technological changes to the way work gets done. But a LinkedIn survey of HR and talent leaders also found that 85% believe talent acquisition “is entering its most influential era.”
Talent pros “are main characters in the story,” LinkedIn CEO Dan Shapero said last week during the company’s Talent Connect customer event in New York City. “How we show up with our teams, how we hire great people, how we lead our organizations is going to shape people’s lives at a time when the labor market and the world of work is going through so much change and is so uncertain.”
