Overview:
As Talent Management becomes the strategic measure, there is also an evolution in recruiting
departments, best described as "Strategic Talent Acquisition". Strategic Talent Acquisition is an

typically represents recruiting that is plugged into the company's Talent Management strategy.
This white paper examines Strategic Talent Acquisition and how it is enabled by the integrated
