Frequently asked questions by candidates

What is the difference between talent acquisition and HR?

Talent acquisition is like a niche within HR, that’s dedicated to finding and bringing the best professional people to join a company While HR covers the whole journey of employee care from onboarding to when someone leaves the company, talent acquisition goes the extra mile, pinpointing the ideal matches for vacant positions. It’s all about planning ahead, making the company look appealing to as many potential hires as possible – and ensuring a steady flow of great candidates. Unlike HR’s big picture approach, talent acquisition delves into the details of sourcing, evaluating and then selecting the perfect candidates.

And the difference between talent acquisition and recruitment?

Recruitment refers to the process of identifying, attracting and hiring candidates to fill job vacancies. It typically involves tasks such as posting job openings, reviewing CV’s, conducting interviews and making job offers whilst talent acquisition encompasses a more strategic approach to hiring.
