In this episode of the TA Leaders podcast, Yana Kogan, VP of Talent Acquisition at Crum & Forster Insurance, sits down with us to share her TA career journey, expertise, and experience in advancing a talent acquisition strategy.
Yana discusses centralizing the talent acquisition function during her time at Honeywell, and how her team made it work with new processes and procedures. She also covers the way they approached outsourcing some of their recruiting.
By sharing her career path through TA, she provides some great insights for the next generation of TA leaders and what she sees coming for the industry in the future. She highlights the importance of diversity, both in hiring and in the talent pipeline, and how remote work will change recruiting in the coming years.
