What is a talent acquisition partner?

A talent acquisition partner (TAP) is an HR professional who strategically focuses on developing and implementing a long-term talent acquisition strategy for your business. Unlike recruiters, who usually only fill immediate vacancies, talent acquisition partners proactively build a talent pipeline and ensure your business has the right people in the right roles to achieve your unique business objectives.

So what will a talent acquisition partner do to prepare your business for success? Read on and find out all the benefits of working with a great TAP.

You’ll gain better insights into your day-to-day operations

When you work with a recruiter, you’ll likely come in with a list of job requirements, and that recruiter will get started contacting potential employees who fit the description. But the hiring process is expensive! According to Indeed, it can cost anywhere from $4,000-$20,000 to acquire, train, and onboard a new employee. And if that employee isn’t the right fit? You have to start the process again. 

A talent acquisition partner doesn’t work from a preset list of skills and qualifications. When you work with a knowledgeable TAP, like us, the first thing you’ll do is meet for a Hiring Prep Call, during which you’ll walk us through your workday, talk over your pain points, and explain exactly what duties you’re looking for a new hire to fill. From there, we’ll assess your business and come up with a detailed strategy for finding the right candidates.

You’ll get professional assistance writing a detailed job description

Writing job descriptions takes finesse. You have to highlight the upsides of working for your company while also listing essential responsibilities and qualifications. The most qualified applicants can afford to be choosy. A great TAP will craft a compelling job description that focuses on the unique benefits of choosing your business. 

We’re also experts at phrasing job descriptions in a way that leaves candidates with no doubts as to the tasks they’ll cover and the skills they need. 

When writing job descriptions, many employers are vague about responsibilities, which can lead to a flood of applicants who aren’t quite right. For example, a job description that calls for a candidate who can “Check email daily” doesn’t really explain the responsibility. "Keep an organized email inbox and promptly respond to inquiries" is a better phrasing to explain that the right fit will check emails but should also have organization and time-management skills.

On the other hand, many employers confuse “nice to have” qualifications with essential skills, resulting in job descriptions that require too many qualifications and can be off-putting to highly qualified applicants. We’ll determine the most critical skills and qualifications for your unique needs and go from there to find the right person for the job without discouraging a great candidate.

You’ll save time 

In today’s job market, a great job posting can get hundreds of applicants. Combing through all those resumes, conducting interviews, and screening applicants can take weeks. Working with a talent acquisition partner means you can run your business while we screen resumes, conduct interviews, and review test project responses. When we’ve culled a great talent pool, you’ll also have a team of hiring professionals to consult as you make your final choice.
