The global economic downturn has brought about changes in human resource (HR) operations around the world. The search for talent which was previously the main focus of HR management has given way to widespread downsizing efforts which resulted from falling output and decreasing revenue. Many organisations have halted their recruitment activities as a knee-jerk reaction to the recession and as a way to stabilise their business. In addition, HR management also suffers from budget cuts which require it to find new ways to add value.

However, despite of all these challenges, it is imperative for organisations to keep their long-term goals in check. Even though halting recruitments and budget cuts can certainly provide a quick fix for organisations in trouble it may pose a danger for their survival later when the economy picks up. Despite the economic downturn, organisations must realise that talent acquisition and management continue to play a critical role in their success. They must able to keep a balance between controlling costs while at the same time attracting and retaining skilled personnel.
