art vs science definition
The Merriam Webster Online Dictionary defines Art as âskill acquired by experience, study, or observation <the art of making friends>â. Looking at these definitions, I honestly think most people use the word âartâ incorrectly when attempting to express their opinion about whether recruiting is an art or a science.
I appreciate the concept that science can refer to a highly skilled technique or practice. Most sourcing and recruiting âexpertsâ would consider themselves highly skilled (I hope). Letâs not forget that âskillâ is actually the dictionary definition of âartâ (skill acquired by experience, study, or observation).
