Building a strategic talent acquisition function is imperative today, but it requires fundamentally evolving how we think about hiring.
This means shifting from a narrow tactical focus on “how and when” – simply filling roles reactively – to thinking more broadly on the “why and what” – how hiring contributes to the long-term organizational strategy and success.
This enables recruiting leaders to become true strategic partners through effective workforce planning, robust talent pipelining based on future needs, and deeply understanding team dynamics before bringing on new roles.
Our guest Andrei Muresan, Head of People at DATAPAO, brings a wealth of experience leading strategic talent acquisition and scaling high-growth tech companies. Previously leading tech recruitment for fintech unicorn Wise and people ops for Shapr3D, Andrei has spearheaded the shift from reactive hiring focused on volume to strategic workforce planning focused on long-term organizational success.

- Hiring tactics that transform “how and when” hiring to “why and what” hiring
- How hiring managers are evolving from speed-focused decision-makers to strategic partners
- Andrei’s biggest learning throughout his People and TA career
