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

In particular, it really helps when employers and individuals (job-seekers, candidates) are given a window into how an agency works - and what factors make successful fulfilment of a job brief.

This new series, How talent agencies work', is designed to contribute to the development of such empathy.

Through a series of interviews, the series explores each of the roles involved in talent acquisition and then provides an overview of agency development.

This first episode briefly introduces the series.
