As a Talent Acquisition (TA) professional, have you ever felt like you deserve more respect and appreciation for the awesome work you do?

Talent Acquisition Rights Come with Expectations
Of course, with great rights come great responsibilities. So here are some things we must deliver upon as TA professions.
Dignity in Every Interaction
We need to treat every candidate with respect and honesty, regardless of their qualifications or fit.
Clarity in Communication
We need to communicate clearly and promptly with all parties involved in the hiring process.
Integrity in Talent Engagement
We need to follow best practices and ethical standards in sourcing, screening, and interviewing methods.
Quality Over Quantity in Placement
We need to deliver value and quality to our hiring managers, not just fill vacancies with warm bodies.
Commitment to Continuous Improvement
We need to jeep learning and growing as TA professionals and as human beings.
Recap
So, there you have it: the Talent Acquisition Bill of Rights. I hope you find it useful and inspiring. In my opinion, these 10 rights reinforce the crucial role that TA plays in the health and progression of the corporate environment, ensuring TA is supported, respected, and equipped to perform at its best.
