As we see layoffs in the tech sector and beyond, Talent Acquisition teams are often the first to go. They get cut first because hiring gets paused, even frozen, or strategy shifts to hiring only backfills for attrition. Company growth slows and hiring budgets get slashed. Suddenly every penny counts and all these rocket ships are stalling their recruitment efforts and reducing their spend on all things hiring.
Of course, over time the pendulum swings, and hiring becomes the absolute top-of-the-list requirement for every leader to ensure incredible talent is selected, growth plans return and the company carries on its merry hiring pathway to success.
For TA leaders across the world, it has become very apparent that when they look to hire TA teams again the model has to change. Budgets have been cut and the future of hiring is going to involve significantly lowering costs. There will be no return to hiring huge teams of recruiters any time soon, that hand has been bitten.
Yes, start-ups, scale-ups, and larger companies do not need to pay out on hiring expensive full-time TA teams only to find that in a few months, they have filled all the roles or recruitment is again paused and the TA team is no longer needed. Layoffs again yes it’s deja vu…..
However, so many incredibly talented in-house TA professionals are available on the market. TA specialists who would have walked into roles, even been offered multiple positions at the same time barely a couple of years ago for their services. These are not all reactionary recruiters who just sit and fill roles when asked. These are strategic Talent partners that recognize how to help build a hiring strategy for departments to grow in countries right across the world.
