In today’s ever shifting talent landscape, data driven TA isn’t a “nice to have,” it’s a “must have,” and more teams are recognizing the importance of using metrics and quantifiable data to determine the requisition load that TA teams and individual recruiters can handle.

This information is crucial for talent acquisition teams to manage expectations with stakeholders, ask for more resources or budgets, and potentially get approval for restructuring.

Join us for a free webinar as our panel shares what teams can do in order to have a solid understanding of their teams’ workload and capacity. We’ll discuss the data-driven approach that takes into account numerous factors such as the number of job openings, the complexity of roles, the impact of roles, the time required to fill each opening, and the size of the recruiting team.

Key discussion areas will include:

  • Knowing what to measure and how to measure it
  • Getting buy-in for capacity planning
  • Leading capacity planning meetings
  • Identifying challenging areas before they become a problem
  • Investing in the right technologies
  • Building strong relationships and aligning expectations
