Attracting, recruiting and retaining quality talent is the paramount priority of organizations. In order to aid our endeavour to bring some clarity to and explore the trends in the area of Talent Acquisition in HR, we have based this paper on a systematic review of literature which seeks to examine the modern thought process and evidence. We conducted an evidence-based review using an integrative synthesis of published peer-reviewed literature on the role technology plays in Talent Acquisition. Emphasis is drawn specifically on reviewing the HR practices of current employers to empower the existence of digitalization and its impact on talent acquisition. Current examples are drawn from many leading companies and their practices are emphasized for better understanding. For this study, the existing studies were predominantly sourced from internet searches and use of management journal databases. The benefits and impact of digitalization have been studied in depth through various studies and researchers. This paper also explores and unites the concept of digitization and Talent Acquisition to arrive at effective decisions with respective to human resources in terms of recognising their contribution vis a viz their cost and thereby developing effective ways of acquiring and engaging talent in the workforce.

This research paper will focus on the importance of talent acquisition as a function of HR, how it is evolving over the years and how are recruitment strategies changing with the evolving scenario. Attracting, recruiting and retaining quality talent is the paramount priority of organizations. In order to aid our endeavour to bring some clarity to and explore the trends in the area of Talent Acquisition in HR, we have based this paper on a systematic review of literature which seeks to examine the modern thought process and evidence. We conducted an evidence-based review using an integrative synthesis of published peer-reviewed literature on the role technology plays in Talent Acquisition. Emphasis is drawn specifically on reviewing the HR practices of current employers to empower the existence of digitalization and its impact on talent acquisition. Current examples are drawn from many leading companies and their practices are emphasized for better understanding. For this study, the existing studies were predominantly sourced from internet searches and use of management journal databases. The benefits and impact of digitalization have been studied in depth through various studies and researchers. This paper also explores and unites the concept of digitization and Talent Acquisition to arrive at effective decisions with respective to human resources in terms of recognising their contribution vis a viz their cost and thereby developing effective ways of acquiring and engaging talent in the workforce.
