A talent advisor is a more strategic recruiter, someone who doesn't just take orders from line management, but is seen as a consultant, an expert when it comes to filling the roles the line might have.
We talk about stop calling intake meetings, intake meetings. Is the name important or is it how you do the meeting? Opinions differ on this, but all agree that we need to behave different in the meetings.
We talk about surveying recruiters about hiring managers and having data on hiring managers and who should be giving the feedback to the hiring managers.
We also talk about how to do good intake meetings to get to the 'hire better quality', what should we be asking in the intake meeting, or whatever we'll be calling them.
We also give many suggestions on how to be a talent advisor, examples what we should be doing to be seen as a talent advisor. How do you stand your ground as an expert, what can you do to show your expertise and get the respect from the hiring managers?
