John Vlastelica here, Founder and CEO of Recruiting Toolbox. What’s changed in the world of Talent Advising since we launched our first training and resources over 10 years ago? A lot.

  • We now have access to much better talent market insights.
  • AI has arrived, automating a lot of the transactional elements of our jobs and providing us with much better internal data analytics.
  • AI is changing roles across our orgs, making old job descriptions and interview focus areas less relevant.
  • Quality of hire is getting prioritized over speed by business leaders and execs.
  • Candidate identity fraud and cheating has become a serious issue.
  • The business wants to have more holistic, more strategic conversations with TA about their org health, including root issue and problem-solving deep dives into things like retention, onboarding, internal mobility, and compensation. They’ve grown tired of the siloed HR conversations.

In this updated Talent Advisor Kit, I’ll make the case for the move away from transactional recruiting to Talent Advisor 1.0 and give you some insights into how we and many of our more sophisticated clients think the Talent Advisor recruiter will evolve to a 2.0 role. There’s no question the days of well-paid transactional recruiters are limited. Recruiting Automation and AI tools, Hiring Manager Self Service, Candidate AI tools, and expectations from the business are pulling the role of recruiter into a Talent Advisor 1.0 and maybe 2.0 role. This kit is designed to help you design the recruiter roles your company needs.
