These are turbulent times for talent acquisition, particularly for those teams operating in the technology sector. Despite the continuing demand for technology skills, layoffs are still happening, with many TA teams now considerably downsized from where they were a couple of years ago.

Proving TA's strategic and monetary value has never been more critical, so how can TA leaders make their business case against such a challenging backdrop?
