The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) is the national professional, scientific, and credentialing association for 228,000 members and affiliates who are audiologists; speech-language pathologists; speech, language, and hearing scientists; audiology and speech-language pathology support personnel; and students.
Therefore, one may find it interesting that a staff person from ASHA was selected as one of the top 100 “most influential talent acquisition thought leaders” by TA Tech. However, as with most sectors of industry, recruiting and retaining talent in the professions is a goal of our association.
Prior to my joining ASHA, my predecessors worked to identify a job board vendor who could provide a more agile system, better reports and analyses, improved CRM integration, and enhanced user experience. In addition, due to the COVID pandemic, the team quickly shifted to a virtual model for our annual hiring event. To build on this, one accomplishment that I am proud of is adding a networking/member engagement activity to the virtual hiring event, which helped to increase attendance, member satisfaction, and meeting recruitment goals by employers. In addition, I provide strategies and opportunities for employers to get in front of our members in different formats (i.e., social media, workshops, content marketing) to share more about their company culture which helps to attract and retain potential employees.
While our professions and membership have some opportunities to increase diversity, I am grateful to work for an association that is committed to achieving equality and respect for cultural and demographic differences. I also appreciate the association’s commitment to non-dues revenue generation, which helps keep the cost of membership down for our members and to provide a platform for employers to recruit the top talent in the association through our job board.
My journey to the field of talent acquisition has been fueled by my own personal experiences during my career journey. While only 1.2% of our membership identifies as unemployed, there may still be untapped talent in the professions. I believe one should be passionate about the work they do, and that satisfied employees and diversity of thought and talent contribute to a healthy, happy, and productive work environment. As TA professionals, our roles should contribute to creating this “perfect match” by creating and utilizing the best technology and empowering the workforce to navigate it successfully.
