talent acquisition
Finding new employees
Talent acquisition is the process of finding, attracting, and hiring employees—essentially a corporate term for recruiting.
The phrase emphasizes strategy over mere hiring: Our talent acquisition team focuses on building long-term candidate pipelines.
Common in HR departments and job titles, it suggests a more deliberate approach than simply filling open positions.
