Most TA teams are still optimizing the top of the funnel. More applicants. More tools. More noise. And yet hiring outcomes keep falling short.

In this TALK discussion forum, we’ll challenge a hard truth: hiring doesn’t break at sourcing anymore. It breaks at decision-making.

We’ll dig into what actually collapses once candidates are in the process. Inconsistent interviews, unclear evaluation criteria, hiring manager dominance, and “close enough” decisions made under pressure. TA leaders are being held accountable for results, but rarely own the decision system itself.

This is an open, vendor-free conversation for TA leaders who want to talk honestly about where hiring really fails today and what needs to change if quality of hire actually matters.
