Talent Acquisition refers to the process of identifying, interviewing, and selecting experienced people for a job.

For some parts of the process, mid- and large-size organizations often retain professional recruiters or outsource some of the process to Talent Acquisition agencies.

The Talent Acquisition industry has 4 main types of agencies: employment agencies, Talent Acquisition websites and job search engines, “headhunters” for executive Talent Acquisition, and niche agencies for specialized areas.
