Unfiltered – What Business REALLY Thinks of TA

Getting frank and unbiased feedback is the best way for TA to improve and become better at what we do. Hiring managers Arti, John and Troy in this unfiltered panel discussion, share their honest thoughts on:

  • What TA can do to be the most relevant to their business;
  • The type of information is vital for them to be proactive and make great decisions; and
  • How and where TA must position itself to be relevant in the future.

Moderated by Trevor Vas, get set for some hard truths and plenty of learning points that you can take away for contextualising into your own TA function.
