MGMT 5823 – Talent Acquisition
Graduate Student Project
Overview
As noted in the course introduction, talent acquisition has evolved from no strategy (post and pray), to a
reactive approach (recruitment), to a proactive approach (attraction). As technology and other factors
continue to change the way organizations approach all aspects of the business, strategies to identify,
attract, and recruit talent should continue to evolve as well.
Assignment
Your assignment is to research trends and best practices companies and organizations should focus on
and/or implement within their talent acquisition strategy. You do not need to design a strategy, but
instead to identify significant trends that will impact talent acquisition going forward.
Your three- to five-page essay should include:
1) A brief summary of your research
2) The most interesting ideas you found
3) Descriptions of your specific recommendations
