The Recruiting Brainfood Podcast

Brainfood Live On Air - Ep144 - Building Institutional Confidence for TA & HR

There is status gap between departments in business. Finance is the treasury. Sales bring the money. Product / Engineering might make the things we sell. Legal creates the contracts we are all bound by. Where does TA / HR sit in this order? Why do recruiters / TA consistently seem to be a department that has fight extra hard to be heard? Perhaps, we lack 'institutional confidence'

 

- What is 'institutional confidence'

- How do we know this is a problem

- What do we need to do on departmental level to level the playing field?

- Is this even possible, or desirable thing to do?

- What is the role of evidence / data in producing better relationships

- How can we become more central to decision making

- Can a department build confidence?

How long has the argument been that TA should be in a separate department from HR, either a stand alone reporting into the CEO or part of Marketing or part of Operations - anything but HR!
