It’s increasingly important for employers to build — not buy — talent pipelines.
When organizations take a reactive approach to talent acquisition and diversity and depend solely on old programs, it puts them at a serious competitive disadvantage, according to Kelsey White, director of Human Resources and Recruitment at MetroStar Systems.
White, who faces that challenge at MetroStar, a government contractor, says employers with workforces that encompass a diverse set of experiences, thought processes, approaches and opinions are more likely to outlast the competition.
