Talent Acquisition and Talent Management are two related but distinct functions within human resource management.

Talent Acquisition refers to the process of identifying, attracting, and hiring qualified candidates for a specific job or position within an organization. It involves several stages, including job analysis, sourcing, screening, interviewing, and selecting candidates. The goal of talent acquisition is to find the best possible candidates who possess the skills, qualifications, and experience required for a particular role.

Talent Management, on the other hand, refers to the process of identifying, developing, and retaining top talent within an organization. It encompasses several functions, including recruitment, onboarding, training and development, performance management, and succession planning. The goal of talent management is to ensure that the organization has the right people with the right skills and expertise to meet its current and future business needs.

The main difference between talent acquisition and talent management is that talent acquisition is focused on identifying and hiring top talent, while talent management is focused on developing and retaining top talent once they are hired. While both functions are critical for ensuring that an organization has the right talent to achieve its goals, they have different objectives and require different strategies and approaches.
