Talent is the only sustainable competitive advantage for organizations in today’s evolving business environment, and executives who lead talent acquisition must create strategies that capitalize on disruption. Why? Because staying ahead of volatile change means the difference between having the right talent to win and losing the game entirely.

Succeeding at talent acquisition is not simply an HR issue—it’s a business challenge. Talent acquisition leaders need actionable plans to stay ahead of the competition, and those plans require investments in pivotal strategies to attract, engage, develop, and retain the best talent.

i4cp’s Talent Acquisition Board is reserved exclusively for the most senior talent acquisition leader in organizations. It is designed to serve as a true Board of Directors for the function and ensure its members are in the driver’s seat of organizational innovation.

Specifically, the Board researches the components of progressive talent acquisition, technology’s role in the evolution of TA, how to meet the highpriority talent challenge— strategies for attracting, developing, and retaining hardto- find talent—and the increased focus on employment brand and candidate experience. The Board dives into complex topics such as hiring for skills vs. potential in shrinking talent landscapes.
