Recruitment VS Talent Acquisition

Recruitment is a need from the company to fill a vacancy at the right moment at a fair cost. The need can be to replace a position (the same player card and position) or fill a new one (new player card and job position). A player card with specific expectations (hard skills, soft skills, distinct certification, special experience) is created by the hiring manager, and the Talent department will start its mission from this job opening document.

Talent Acquisition is about finding the right candidate in a more or less favorable market while ensuring expectations are met, and values are aligned. It’s the whole cycle from the job opening to the effective hiring of the proper candidate. At Strapi, every candidate starts the talent acquisition process from the first step (first interview) and goes through the whole cycle to be hired (even referrals).
