HR.com has taken a significant step towards redefining the future of talent acquisition by establishing a new advisory board for its Future of Talent Acquisition 2025 study and event. This initiative, led by the HR Research Institute (HRRI), aims to harness the expertise of eight distinguished thought leaders from various sectors to influence the direction of recruitment practices. The board's diverse background, including members from Southern Rock Restaurants, SH Hotels and Resorts, Walgreens, and other notable organizations, ensures a wide-ranging perspective on digital recruiting, diversity initiatives, and more.
The advisory board's primary mission is to align the upcoming research and event content with the latest industry best practices. Focus areas include sourcing strategies, talent assessments, and the integration of technology in recruitment processes. Debbie McGrath, CEO of HR.com, highlighted the board's role in identifying emerging trends and equipping HR professionals with the necessary tools to overcome current hiring challenges.
Anticipated outcomes of this initiative include a comprehensive report and a condensed infographic, both designed to serve as essential resources for HR professionals. These materials will offer actionable insights and recommendations, aiding organizations in navigating the complexities of modern talent acquisition. Furthermore, the initiative will culminate in a virtual event on April 9, 2025, featuring expert-led sessions on critical topics in talent acquisition.
This effort builds on HR.com's ongoing commitment to advancing HR practices through research and events. By addressing pressing issues such as remote work and skill shortages, the advisory board's work is expected to have a profound impact on how organizations attract and retain talent. The insights generated will not only benefit HR professionals but also contribute to shaping the broader landscape of human resources in an increasingly dynamic business environment.
