Ep 41 Heather Taylor of MAU: How to Build a Resilient Talent Pipeline Without Over-Hiring in a Downturn
Description
A majority of talent acquisition (TA) leaders lack hiring strategies ready for market fluctuations. This data expose how quickly teams lose traction when demand drops. Today’s talent acquisition teams face shrinking req loads, rising pressure to prove value, and unpredictable workforce needs, a combination driving a widening performance gap. Only a small fraction leverages data-driven workforce planning to convert this slowdown into strategic momentum, leaving most employers vulnerable to escalating costs, weakened pipelines, and missed growth windows.
Solving this uncertainty requires rethinking the entire recruiting engine—so what should TA leaders do to build resilience in a soft market? In this episode of the Time to Hire podcast, host Lamees Abourahma speaks with Heather Taylor, Director of RPO Solutions at MAU Workforce Solutions, to examine how RPO partnerships, analytics, and smarter processes strengthen quality of hire, reduce cost, and future-proof talent strategies across shifting labor conditions.
