Introducing ATAP: Driving the Future of the Talent Acquisition Profession

The talent acquisition profession is one that has grown and evolved over the years, mostly by necessity. It has happened without standard education, measurements, or ethics. It has happened without effective advocacy and representation. Numerous communities, many grassroots in nature, were established to help fill the void of educational and networking opportunities (and have done a great job by the way). Talent acquisition has often been called an “accidental” profession. Few have aspirations in school to become talent acquisition professionals, but when we find it, we fall in love with it as we understand quickly the incredible impact that we have on our employers/clients and on the people we recruit.
