TA: The Unsung Game-Changers
Recognition, rewards, and a stage built for recruiters who dare to lead with AI.
Hey there,
Every company loves to say: “Our people are our greatest asset.” But who finds those people? Who makes sure the right person walks through the right door at the right time?
It’s Talent Acquisition.
Behind every story of transformation, growth, and resilience, there’s a recruiter or TA leader making it happen.
If you resonate with that story — if you’ve been that person who made the difference — we want to share your journey with the world.
➡️Introducing: The TSOW AI-Forward TA Index
The TSOW AI-Forward TA Index, powered by Goodfit, is a recognition initiative celebrating the most innovative recruiters and TA leaders who are already leveraging AI in their work.
This Index isn’t just a list. It’s a platform to:
Spotlight the leaders redefining hiring with AI.
Inspire the broader TA community with real-world practices.
➡️Why It Matters
AI is already transforming recruiting — but the industry lacks trusted, proven examples of how it delivers value in the real world. The AI-Forward TA Index aims to fill that gap by:
Providing visibility and recognition to TA professionals leading the way.
Offering practical playbooks of what’s actually working with AI in hiring.
Delivering rewards to celebrate achievements.
Building a culture of peer-to-peer inspiration in TA.
➡️How to Register
Joining is simple. No long forms, no endless documentation.
🧠 Complete a Goodfit AI interview → A structured, conversational interview designed to surface your AI practices.
📎 Share links, images, or supporting details that show your work in action.
That’s it. You’re in.

🎖 Recognition That Matters
Here’s what’s waiting for you when you make it to the Index:
🏅 Certificate of Recognition → A keepsake (and LinkedIn-worthy) shoutout.
📘 Your Story in the AI eBook → Featuring your practices as a resource for the entire HR community.
🎤 Speaking Opportunities → Share your voice at Goodfit-hosted webinars.
🎁 Exclusive Goodies & Rewards → Our way of saying thank you for leading with AI.

HR is lonely. It doesn’t have to be.
The best HR advice comes from people who’ve been in the trenches.
That’s what this newsletter delivers.
I Hate it Here is your insider’s guide to surviving and thriving in HR, from someone who’s been there. It’s not about theory or buzzwords — it’s about practical, real-world advice for navigating everything from tricky managers to messy policies.
Every newsletter is written by Hebba Youssef — a Chief People Officer who’s seen it all and is here to share what actually works (and what doesn’t). We’re talking real talk, real strategies, and real support — all with a side of humor to keep you sane.
Because HR shouldn’t feel like a thankless job. And you shouldn’t feel alone in it.

The future of recruiting is already being written — and TA professionals are the authors. This Index is your chance to be recognized not just as part of the conversation, but as one of the leaders shaping it.
