Is your current investment in talent acquisition positioning your company for long-term success?

Over the years I have been asked by Talent Acquisition and HR leaders what is the best scorecard that you use to set expectations and educate executive leadership against Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s).
Rather than just continue to have those conversations one at time, I thought it might be helpful to share the scorecard template that I have landed on that produces the best outcomes I have found based of years of trial and error experience.
