For recruiters
The craft of talent acquisition
Talent acquisition is a craft. Some people arrive with natural instinct, while others develop their skills over time through experience and determination. Becoming dependable, trusted, and consistently high-performing takes more than intuition. It requires intention, discipline, and refinement.
Richard Chipchase has spent over two decades building and leading high performing talent acquisition functions that deliver results. He has frequently hired recruiters with little or no prior experience and coached them into highly effective operators. This matters because talent acquisition is a front line discipline. It is business critical, fast moving, and demands a consistently high standard of execution.
