I was delighted to hear two of my regular guests on Recruiting Future were writing a book together. “Talent Acquisition Excellence” by Kevin Wheeler and Bas Van De Haterd is now available, whether you get your books, and it is brilliant to welcome them both back to the podcast to talk about it. Kevin is the founder of The Future of Talent Institute and is highly respected for his skills in predicting how Talent Acquisition and HR will develop and evolve. Bas is a consultant whose keen sense of curiosity has helped him map the evolution of assessment technology and deliver an annual state-of-the-nation report on corporate career sites. In our conversations, they bring different perspectives to the concept of Talent Acquisition excellent, offer some actionable advice and give us a sense of what the future might hold. In the interview, we discuss: What is talent acquisition excellence? Why AI could be more disruptive than the invention of the Internet Shifting mindsets Improving selection by using science Driving the evolution of recruitment marketing How the recruiting function will change, and what skills will recruiters need Why employers aren't moving quickly enough Where will TA be in a year?
