In this podcast episode, Amir interviews Kulwinder Verma Scott, the Global VP of Talent Acquisition at The Trade Desk.

Kulwinder emphasizes the need to understand the company\u2019s story, ask insightful questions, and build partnerships with hiring managers. They also cover how the Talent Acquisition (TA) team can overcome the perception of being merely process-oriented and be viewed as valuable business partners and solution providers. Key takeaways include peer learning, proactive engagement, and the importance of a strong relationship with the people team. The conversation aims to shift the old stigma of TA as a process function towards a consultative, business-centric role.
