Outsource talent acquisition specialists to the Philippines

What key skills and qualifications make a great talent acquisition specialist?

Talent acquisition specialists are required to go through hundreds of applicants at any given time. They need to be able to distinguish and shortlist suitable candidates whilst maintaining a non-bias approach. This requires attention to detail, prioritisation and excellent organisational skills. They also need to take into account the technical skills needed for each role as well as company values when deciding on candidates. 

Outsourcing service providers recruit talent acquisition specialists the same way an internal, talent acquisition team would. Essentially, they ask the same questions to understand whether these offshore candidates would be able to provide the level of quality required by Australian organisations:

• What experience and knowledge do you have in recruitment or a similar HR function?
• How do you liaise with hiring managers to develop hiring strategies and profiles?
• What hiring platforms are you familiar with?
• How do you ensure excellent communication between potential candidates and hiring managers during the interview process?
• Provide an example of a role you had successfully placed where you had to screen candidates, compile shortlists and then interview them?
• What applicant tracking systems are you familiar with? 

In terms of whether a higher education degree or certification is necessary for a talent acquisition specialist role, it is dependent on company requirements. Some businesses have the HR resources to train entry-level talent acquisition specialists in the way they like to recruit. Whilst others, especially for the more executive and senior management roles, prefer an experienced and educated talent acquisition specialist who understands the techniques and questions that will find the right fit for more critical roles. 

If you are seeking a talent acquisition specialist with an educational background, then a degree in human resource management or a HR certificate would be desirable. 

Outsourcing companies can help you find the right candidate to meet your organisation's HR requirements. By hiring successful offshored talent acquisition specialists, your local HR team can focus on overall staff satisfaction and revenue generation.
