"Strategic Talent Acquisition in the SMB Market: Alignment, Integration and Innovation" prepared by Madeline Laurano, Research Director, Talent Acquisition Solutions for the Aberdeen Group Human Capital Management practice, confirms that talent acquisition is no longer the exclusive domain of large enterprise organizations. Given the shortage of key skills and increased competition for talent, small to mid-sized businesses (SMBs) are rapidly adopting a more strategic process for identifying, attracting, and onboarding top talent.
