The Internal Talent Awards, affectionately known as the ITA’s, return for 2021 and will be held on Thursday 2nd September 2021 in Melbourne, Australia. The ITA’s will recognise and celebrate excellence in the Internal Talent Acquisition Industry across individuals, teams, organisations and vendors.
The original ITA’s concept came from TaPod Co-Hosts Lauren Sharp & Craig Watson who inspire and entertain listeners during their weekly podcast which shines a light (and a laugh) on the Australian Talent Acquisition community.
“Following the huge success of our virtual ITAs in 2020 we are incredibly excited to stage the Awards as a grand in-person event where we can celebrate all things Talent. Our venue, the Plaza Ballroom in Melbourne is the perfect location to celebrate all that is great in our industry, and importantly meet and enjoy each other’s company. We can’t wait!” Craig Watson & Lauren Sharp
Joining TaPod this year as Event Partners is TQSolutions. TQSolutions is the region’s leading consultancy in Talent and Mobility, advising clients on Talent Strategy, Talent Service and Operating Model design.
“Following our Major Sponsorship of the inaugural ITA’s in 2020, TQSolutions is delighted to join TAPOD as an official event partner in 2021. TQSolutions is dedicated to the on-going development and enhancement of the broader Talent and Mobility industry and we are thrilled to be able to participate and contribute to this industry focused celebration of success and excellence. We are particularly excited about the ‘in-person’ format of the event this year and know it will be a night to remember. As well as partnering with TAPOD on the event itself, TQSolutions will be judging and announcing the Enterprise Talent Leader of the Year and we look forward to reviewing nominations later in the year. “Gareth Flynn MD
