Managing Stakeholders
In Talent Acquisition, success rarely comes down to process alone. Two seemingly identical recruitment projects can deliver completely different outcomes—often because of who was involved, when, and how. This course explores the critical role of stakeholder engagement, helping you understand how influence, communication, and alignment shape hiring success.
You’ll learn how to identify key stakeholders, navigate competing priorities, and influence decisions without relying on authority. By building your ability to manage upwards, handle challenging dynamics, and develop strategic partnerships, you’ll move beyond simply filling roles to actively shaping better hiring outcomes for your organisation.
