About this episode

What does it take to modernize talent acquisition when the talent you need is scarce, highly specialized, and in constant demand? In this episode of The Talent Transformation Podcast, Dimitri Boylan speaks with Ateesh Roye of MANTECH about reframing recruiting as a strategic supply chain — one that starts long before a requisition is opened and continues well beyond the hire. Drawing on experience across federal contracting, commercial enterprise, and RPO, Ateesh explains how owning employer brand, data, and engagement at the top of the funnel fundamentally reshapes outcomes across the entire talent lifecycle. Topics include: Why TA leaders must translate hiring outcomes into business impact How brand and community engagement drive results long before applications Why employer brand is a system, not a campaign The power of data-driven funnel management over averages Hosted on Acast.
