Bus/Financial - Human Resources
Dutch term or phrase: Acquisitiegesprek
Apparently, the term means that you present your services to a prospective client (I'm thinking face to face). It's in a long list of all sorts of different talks and conversations that can be used in assessment centre role-playing exercises, and it cannot be a sales pitch, since that's a different entry.

Explanation:
Acquisitie is nothing to do with business acquisitions - it means klantenverwerving, the acquisition of new customers.

Thanks! I did find out that it was customer acquisition, but I never got any further than that. Most of the sites I found talkes about sales talks and strategies, but I couldn't use that. This is a really nice solution

Job interview


Explanation:
In the description the asker talked about human resources. Therefore, it would have to be a job interview, unless we are talking about the outsourcing of human resource services.
