Pros

The benefits are generally strong. Many members of the recruitment team have historically worked remotely or in hybrid arrangements; however, most have recently been required to return to the office.

Cons

There has been ongoing frustration within Talent Acquisition since the leadership transition. During the first six months, communication from the new leader was minimal to the point that many team members felt disconnected and lost, unclear about direction. Unfortunately, communication and visibility have not meaningfully improved and have worsened. While the senior leader appears to be well-intentioned, there are concerns about whether they are demonstrating the strategic presence, decisiveness, and communication cadence required at this level. As a result, decisions often feel reactive rather than intentional, and key updates are not consistently shared—sometimes not even with middle management before broader changes occur. Skip-level meetings have significantly declined, and process changes are implemented without adequate context or stakeholder input. This has led to confusion, reduced morale, and a growing sense that the team is being blindsided rather than aligned. Overall, the function feels diminished from what it once was—less cohesive, less strategic, and lacking the clarity and engagement that previously defined it.
