Acquisitions and Acquihiring

In the current world of competitions, companies are scrambling for all sorts of resources out in the market to get their hands on the best onesout there. Not only are customers and clients drive the niche for  developing the business grounds, but human resources are also the important elements. With the modern trends of startups and ventures, a group of top level talents tend to swarm towards building their own companies, be it small or big scale, instead of ending up being employed at a stablished ones. The later one has become of an old tradition amongst the youth as they see themselves getting a share of an organization rather than getting paid for a sort of performance or service they provide as employee.

Hence to deal with the lack and depletion of top talents, bigger organizations have come up with  the concept of acquisition and acquihiring. Aquisition is a form of purchasing smaller or bigger scale companies and their assets, like products, customers and intellectual properties. Where as aqcuihiring is buying only the talents. These two methods are categorized as inorganic recruitment as opposed to the organic one which is hiring one by one from the job market.

In doing inorganic recruitment, bigger companies actually do benefit from the plan if it is strategically executed in giving the company an already established and proven pool of talents. They can be used to complement or extend the business plan of the acquiree. Financial-wise this can also add value in the long run, if not immediate by helping consolidate the market share in the bigger context.
