Blair BennettPepsiCo Senior Vice President of Global Talent Acquisition and speaker at HCI’s SPARK TALENT 2025, recently talked with HR Daily Advisor in a webinar for a behind-the-scenes look on what it takes to build a world-class candidate experience on a global scale.

Here’s one of the strategies that Bennett mentioned in the interview:

Be a supply chain for talent

Recruiters and talent acquisition professionals may not think of recruiting as a supply chain, but Bennett says that’s how PepsiCo’s TA team sees it.

Bennett advises recruiters never to underestimate the power of their position, because their job is at the center of business strategy, “bringing that strategy to life with the talent that we bring into the organization.”
