Program Professional Framework

Certified Talent Acquisition Professional

Program Overview

Talent acquisition goes beyond filling vacancies: it means building a sustainable supply of talent aligned with workforce plans and the employer brand. This programme addresses the strategic side of hiring: linking hiring plans to workforce planning, building an employer value proposition and employer brand, designing candidate experience, running early-career and national talent programmes, choosing sourcing channels and recruitment process outsourcing, using applicant tracking systems and recruitment marketing, and managing TA analytics and budgets. It reflects competition for national and specialist talent in Gulf labour markets and the role of TA in localisation strategies.
