Talent Acquisition

Program Budget Overview

Description

Beginning in late 2021, the Talent Acquisition (TA) team supports all departments in attracting and hiring the best talent to meet their business objectives. Talent Acquisition partners with Total Rewards to attract talent by promoting the city’s competitive compensation, benefits, and lifestyle perks and by establishing strong employer brand awareness. This team will assist hiring managers in determining an advertising strategy for open positions, provide the appropriate tools and resources to select the best candidates for the position, and assisting those individuals in successfully onboarding with the organization. Additionally, the TA team will be building talent pipelines by partnering with local schools and community organizations, participating in career fairs, and tracking our success rate with various recruitment websites and sources. The TA team continues to build support systems and become proactive in recruitment process step definition/standards, advance quality recruitment processes through communication, direct participation in processes, and direct candidate recruitment and sourcing.
