Humanizing the Hiring Process with Tara ...

RYAN DULL
About this episode

On this episode, host Ryan Dull is joined by Tara Storms, Talent Acquisition Director at Best Buy, for some insight into the initiatives Tara is spearheading to improve her organization’s recruitment process.

Tara discusses the following as it relates to improving the talent acquisition team:


-  Remember that talent acquisition is a relationship-oriented industry, and TA functions should help cultivate those relationships.

- The hiring experience should be positive for both the candidate and the recruiter.

- Hiring practices, from recruitment to onboarding and beyond, should be inclusive of all candidates.

- Partnering with business leaders and collaborating across departments creates a more effective TA function.

- Horizontal mobility is as important as vertical mobility for expanding existing hires’ skill sets and providing development opportunities.

- Successful talent leaders not only build meaningful relationships within their organization but within the broader industry as well.

- Always be open to learning new things, and look for ways to take on responsibilities outside your normal job scope to help facilitate that development.

A focus on the human nature of hiring leads to a more positive hiring experience, thus improving both candidate conversion and retention.

Sagemark HR can help you:


✔ Improve your talent practices and make better, more informed people decisions.

After 20+ years of experience leading Recruiting and Talent Acquisition across a wide variety of industries, I've seen enough hires (over 100,000 to date) to know that hiring decisions truly can make or break an organization.


✔ Identify opportunities to not only improve your talent practices, but also deliver tangible business results.

We understand every organization is different, and there’s no one-size-fits-all magic solution. So we listen first and identify the gaps and sticking points in your current process before ever recommending a solution.


✔ Bridge the gap from “traditional” to modern recruiting, without the painful learning curve.

We believe recruiting, talent, and HR technology is a deep well of untapped business potential, and our mission is to help you identify and implement those hiring tools in a way that works for you.
