What Our Members Say

'Talent Acquisition plays a critical strategic role in organisational success. A dedicated professional association will help build capability, strengthen standards, and improve outcomes for organisations and candidates. I am proud to support this important industry initiative.'

Kate Taylor GM People & Culture - Hop Products Australia

'Talent Acquisition has become one of the most strategically important functions in every organisation, yet as a profession it has lacked the formal recognition and professional development pathways seen in other disciplines. I have long believed that a national association, alongside nationally recognised qualifications, is an important and necessary step towards building professional standards, developing capability and giving Talent Acquisition the collective voice it deserves.'

James Telfer RPO Director, APAC at KellyOCG – at Cummings

'Talent Acquisition is a specialised profession that requires a bespoke learning solution, resulting in fit for purpose qualifications. The Talent Acquisition Association of Australia represents an important learning milestone in professionalism and in the ongoing evolution of our profession.'

Kylie Cashion Acting Head of People Experience (People & Stakeholder) – TasNetworks

'In my view, these qualifications, together with the TAAA, will deliver genuine value to the industry by supporting more consistent, structured and best-practice approaches to Talent Acquisition; improving recruitment quality, fairness and the overall candidate experience; creating clearer and more credible career pathways into, and within, the Talent Acquisition profession; and building greater confidence for employers, hiring managers and Talent Acquisition practitioners through a common framework, language and professional standards.'
