About TA After Hours
TA After Hours is a short-form vlog series for the people behind those Talent Attraction strategies. We see you Talent Acquisition, Employer Brand, HR, and Recruitment Marketing leaders.
You submit a challenge, story, or WTF moment. We unpack it on camera, anonymously, and provide you with the insight and a little validation that you need.
This is the type of support that happens when the meetings are over and the filters come off.
