#TChat Recap: Why Recruiting Is A Legitimate Career Choice

This week we were joined by Shally Steckerl, founder of the Sourcing Institute Foundation and a pioneer in talent sourcing and recruiting, as we chatted about why recruiting is a legitimate career choice.

Recruiting, for many, has been an accidental career choice. For others, its a destination career. We discussed organizations like the Sourcing Institute Foundation who follow a mission to change historic misconceptions of the industry. Part of the bad press come from the obvious lack of training for Talent Acquisition pros. There is, however, a growing need for comprehensive corporate recruitment training programs.

Recruiting is, and should be, a top career choice for confident, able and performance-minded people. Let’s keep spreading the good recruitment word!

Companies using the same approach to recruiting they used a mere 5-10 years ago will lose the fight for talent. #tchat
