3. What are the characteristics of your top talent?

5. In your view, please explain what works and what doesn’t work about your current talent strategy method.

6. In your estimation which aspect of your talent strategy needs the most change?

10. What are your hiring manager’s (the individual you report to directly) thoughts about the talent acquisition process?
