AUGUST 2021HR TECH OUTLOOK8SUCCEEDING BY FOCUSING ON THE BASICS OF HRGreg Barber, Managing Director, RPO, Allegis Global SolutionByOne of the best parts about my job is that I'm absolutely passionate about the business of talent, and I get to work with a lot of different businesses getting talent right. That means working with a wide portfolio of big brands with global hiring needs, something that, if we're being honest, is exactly the sort of challenge that keeps talent acquisition so interesting for me. I've spent more years in this space than I care to think about, and it's been amazing to be sitting on the sidelines for a complete evolution in the way companies acquire talent, and how talent finds companies. A lot of pundits out there complain that nothing's really changed in the recruitment space, but for those practitioners who are in the trenches and too busy hiring than to worry about technology or trends, the last few years in resourcing have been nothing short of revolutionary. The companies I partner with have completely reengineered their processes, people, and platforms in the last few years. The result of recruitment is now moving from a back office, which was largely tactical and highly manual function to trusted advisors whose strategic imperative begins and ends with the bigger business picture and the bottom line.
