TALENT ACQUISITIONS IS THE NEW HR

Corporate talent acquisition has been failing for decades, but it doesn't have to. There are simple fixes, organizational designs, and technology that can turn around the success of an organization's ability to recruit almost overnight.

Piece by piece and step by step, with real-world examples and stories about how innovative organizations and top talent acquisition leaders are successfully recruiting today, The Talent Fix presents a proven, practical, and scalable recruiting model for talent acquisition leaders and practitioners and shows how organizations can build and sustain a great talent acquisition function.

In this day and age when finding qualified talent is difficult, Mr. Sackett provides concrete ways to solve this problem in a funny, no holds barred fashion in this must read for any HR professional. In the last chapter, he provides a road map to where talent acquisition is headed and how practioners can stay ahead of the curve in this fluid environment. I highly recommend this informative, fast paced contribution to the HR field.

Wow! This book was not an expense; it was a great investment. I have worked in HR, recruiting, and talent management for 25 years and I like to keep up with the industry so I bought this book because Tim is a true thought leader. This book was not purchased on a whim. For several years beforehand, I followed Tim’s online publications. THIS BOOK CONTAINS NO SUGARCOATING. Tim tells it like it is and how it should be. People who should read this book: Recruiters, HR professionals, business professionals, hiring managers, anybody who has a job, and those seeking employment in any field. Did I leave anybody out?

A talent acquisition book that speaks to everyone...

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 13, 2018

Verified Purchase

Tim's views on TA come from a career that spans a variety of different recruiting environments. Many of the things he addresses in this book hold true no matter what industry you are recruiting for. It speaks to top-level managers while still providing perspective to someone just starting their journey into the recruiting world. Tim does a great job of walking the line between old and new school recruiting and I think this is what makes this book so effective. The ideas it puts forth are ones that evolve with time, but still hold true and that is a necessity in the ever-changing TA industry.

Real, Practical Advice

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 13, 2019

Verified Purchase

Enjoyed this book so much that I ordered a copy for every person in our organization (we're a staffing company). The right recruiting approach is simple, but it's not easy. Tim doesn't sugar coat what you need to do. If you want to be great, you'll have to work at it, but you won't have to guess if you have The Talent Fix as your guide.

I liked the way was written and had a lot of insights of a TA department. I learned a lot!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 1, 2019

Verified Purchase

One of the best things about this book is that Tim Sackett keeps it real. In the end, with limited budgets and resources it is impossible for a company to "be like" or worse "become a Google". You have to make your own mark in your own market to understand and attract candidates.
By the same token he explains that the grass may not also be greener on the Google side of the grass.

Recruiting book with a sense of humor - RARE! This is a must read!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 25, 2018

Verified Purchase

I recently purchased this book since I"m in the recruiting industries and needed some ideas to "wake up" my department. There were so many gems dropped throughout the book and it was refreshing. I highly recommend anyone who wants to learn more about TA or even just for a good read should check it out. Tim has a great sense of humor tied to realism and it couldn't be any better! I look forward to another book in the near future to begin my collection!

Its a good reference book. Love the way its brutally honest, Tim has called an elephant in the room for lot of times. if you are recruiting leader, this book should be there with you for a lot of referencing. It opens up lot of your Dilemma and you encounter it with real life examples. it has happened with me personally as well. so i would strongly recommend it to every thought full recruiter & a aspirational recruiting leader.

No real substance

Reviewed in Japan 🇯🇵 on January 15, 2023

Verified Purchase

Actionable advice is close to non-existent; full of pathetic attempts at jokes reminding you you’re just reading an old school white dude, laden with phrases like “this person needs to be fired, fire that person”.
