Budgeting is the backbone of any successful Talent Acquisition (TA) strategy. When executed effectively, it enables TA teams to better prioritize initiatives, align talent objectives with business goals, and plan for future growth. Strategic budgeting ensures that resources are allocated wisely, driving measurable value and supporting key performance indicators (KPIs).

This comprehensive new report from Aptitude Research examines current TA budgeting practices and provides a playbook to help TA teams make better financial decisions.
