Anthony Haynes writes: Talent agencies contribute most effectively to talent acquisition when there's an empathy between agencies and their stakeholders.

Our series, How Talent Acquisition Works, is designed to contribute to the development of such empathy.

We explore the work of an agency by exploring in turn each of the roles involved.

In addition to the client-facing and candidate-facing roles, we include in the series the contribution of ancillary roles.

In this episode, the sixth interview in the series, we introduce Sherah Beckley: Sherah typically contributes to our work through her expertise as an interviewer, but in this episode the roles are reversed as Sherah takes the interviewee's chair.

Sherah discusses in particular what she has noticed as distinctive about the work in the talent sector.
