Talent Acquisition Consultants (TACs) are part of the Talent Acquisition Department, a team that supports 90 schools managed by National Heritage Academies (NHA). The primary function of a TAC is to partner with principals and manage the hiring process, including attracting, assessing, and selecting top talent for exempt and non-exempt positions in our schools. TACs have the opportunity to impact our schools directly as they are responsible for explaining our organization and company culture, building great relationships and providing strong customer service to all our clients, both internal and external.
