Talent Acquisition Partnership (TAP)
In an uncertain market, building an internal Talent Acquisition (TA) team can quickly become a high-risk, fixed-cost liability. A single hire brings management burden, overhead, and limited perspective.
Our Talent Acquisition Partnership (TAP) is designed for organizations that need the strength of an experienced talent function with the flexibility of an external partner. We embed a dedicated Head Global recruiter (or multiple!) into your organization and manage your recruitment function at both the tactical and strategic level.
In many cases, we help you determine not just who to hire, but whether you need to hire at all.
Some organizations pursue Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) to solve this problem. While RPO models typically provide recruitment execution, they often stop there. TAP goes further. In addition to day-to-day recruitment management, you gain access to the broader Head Global leadership team and 45+ years of combined talent acquisition expertise to guide hiring strategy, workforce planning, and organizational growth.
The result is the capability of an elite talent department with the perspective and agility of a strategic partner. You gain the judgment needed to navigate complex pivots, fractional needs, and executive scaling, without the friction of building and managing an internal team.
