Listen as host Sultan Saidov speaks to Adam Artar, Director of Global Talent Acquisition at Edwards Lifesciences, about the real impact TA can have on people – patients as well as candidates and employees – and how his company is growing the skills they need to succeed as a business, and improve lives.  

Sultan and Adam discuss the unique attributes of the medical devices industry, finding (and developing) niche skills with a distinct employer brand proposition, embracing a new model for TA, and creating your own talent market for the future.

“It is rather fascinating to see the number of skills that we have a need for, not just today, but three, five years down the road… and understanding that it’s going to impact patients’ lives, it's going to impact families' lives long-term, because of the skills and because of the devices and products that we’re building.” – Adam Artar
