"recruitment", since labelling humans as resources is apparently inhumane
- spywaregorilla 4y agoIt's because HR is associated with mundane bureaucracy tasks, whereas talent is supposed to comprise strategic that matter a lot. I tend to agree with it. They're two clearly different functions. Hiring, development, retention, vs. the boring stuff.

The phrasing caught my eye and it felt a bit weird to be written down like a bushel of wheat, but I certainly wasn't offended by it. FWIW, that boss turned out to be one of the best and most empathetic people I've ever worked with.
