This document outlines how to build or rebuild a successful talent acquisition function. It discusses that the most important step is alignment, where talent acquisition activities are tied to business objectives to create credibility. The four key components to a successful function are alignment, process, tools, and team/partners. For process, an ideal process should be brainstormed that supports objectives before considering current process or tools. The team structure is based on roles needed to support each process step. Tools are selected that support the process. Partners can help complete the solution by outsourcing parts of the process. Pitfalls to avoid include process driven by one part of the business and not monitoring partners.
