Tell us what you think of the State of Talent in 2021

In 2020, more than 130 talent teams contributed to the State of Talent Acquisition Survey and showcased how talent functions had been disrupted in a way we had never experienced before.

This year, we want to see what’s changed. The 2021 State of Talent Acquisition Survey has been designed in partnership with Globalization Partners to capture a clear and detailed snapshot of the current state talent acquisition in Australia and New Zealand, and give talent teams the opportunity to benchmark their function against their peers.    

The data collected will be reported back to the TA community in the form of a report and in a free virtual event.

Your contributions will also help to establish key benchmarks which you can subsequently use to gauge how you and your organisation are faring, relative to your peers in the market.

And if that’s not enough of an incentive for you, everyone who completes the survey will also go into the draw to win a $500 Visa Card voucher. 

The survey will take about 15 minutes to complete and we recommend completing it on desktop or laptop. Please also ensure that you complete the survey in one session.

The single most important thing we can do to improve hiring decisions is to standardise the interview process. Not just in structure, but in mindset. It’s about treating interviews not as informal chats or instinct-driven conversations, but as designed, repeatable systems. Because when we don’t, we introduce noise. And noise is the enemy of good judgement.
Right now, there is a lot of change in recruitment. New tools are arriving fast. AI is already part of our world. But I believe one thing stays true. Great recruitment still comes down to people. It comes down to how we listen, how we ask, how we plan and how we show up.
When people ask me why I love my job, the answer is simple and not surprising: Impact. The impact we have on people’s lives, on businesses, on communities and on ourselves. In the world of HR, few roles offer the unique blend of strategy, creativity, and human connection that Talent Acquisition does.
