Talent acquisition leaders are largely left out of their company’s strategic planning process, and many feel they operate as “order takers” according to findings in our new ‘Talent Acquisition at a Crossroads’ report with The Josh Bersin Company. Companies are cutting their TA spend, and at the same time, CEOs feel that skills shortages are getting worse. Moving from transaction to strategy is now critical for business success. In his latest blog, Josh Bersin discusses the latest Talent Climate research. #Talent #TalentAcquisition #HumanResources #HR #Recruitment #Staffing #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #Tech #Technology #TalentClimate

Done with SHRM and want to take some action? I got you, we just launched a petition over at Equitable HR Guild! SHRM's recent actions and long-standing issues, such as high costs, outdated practices, lack of DEI focus, corporate bias, and anti-union stances, have made it clear that SHRM is no longer a reputable authority on HR. Join us in this call to divest from SHRM and support more inclusive and equitable HR practices. By moving beyond SHRM, we can open doors to a broader pool of talented HR professionals and build more diverse and inclusive teams. We envision this petition as a way to bring our collective voices together to advocate for meaningful change. Consider these calls to action: 🔺 Let your SHRM certification lapse. 🔹 Remove SHRM certification requirements from job postings. 🔸 Embrace more diverse qualifications. ◾ Stop sponsoring or attending SHRM events. 🔻 Promote equitable and inclusive HR education. 🔸 Advocate for better representation to lawmakers. 🔹 Commit to embedding DEI in your HR practices. Sign the petition at the link below and help us drive the change we wish to see in our workplaces. Please share as well! Big thank you to Angela R. Howard, Mahal Maningas, and all the folks I've chatted with over the last few days who helped make this possible!

The main findings, drawn on a global survey of executives include: - skill shortages remain the top issue for TA leaders (60%) - 58% are under tremendous pressure to improve the efficiency of their recruiting processes - only 32% of TA leader respondents feel they serve as a truly strategic partner to their organization - 45%, were told to prioritize cost reduction over strategic talent advisory - 42% disclosed that their company does not have a workforce plan Stay ahead of the talent forecast, download our ‘Talent Acquisition at a Crossroads’ report. #Talent #TalentAcquisition #HumanResources #HR #Recruitment #Staffing #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #Tech #Technology
