The balance of the workforce is changing. Remote working, talent scarcity and evolving attitudes to jobs and careers are driving the increasing use of contractors, freelancers and fractional workers. However, the practicalities of managing this changing workforce are significant, including everything from building a culture to ensuring everyone gets paid on time. So how should employers approach this, what role can technology play, and how can they turn the challenges into opportunities? My guest this week is Richard Prime, Co-Founder and CEO of Sonovate. Richard has some fascinating insights to share on the state of the market and how fintech innovations are creating opportunities for employers and staffing agencies in our new world of work. In the interview, we discuss: The current state of the market The rise of contractors, freelancers, and fractional workers Accessing global talent pools The challenges of an evolving workforce What are the most innovative businesses doing? Building a culture that is inclusive of temporary and contract workers How complicated is it to make sure everyone gets paid The growing demand for early wage access Innovative financial benefits to attract talent What opportunities does Fintech innovation open up for recruiting and talent acquisition?

Al Smith, CTO at iCIMS, is back on the podcast recording from his front-row seat to the AI race, he talks ChatGPT, chatbots deciding to compete with applicant tracking systems like his, what we can expect from the upcoming INSPIRE conference (icims.com) (new CEO on stage alert!) and why, exactly, he dislikes the term “ATS” so much. Al is always smart, candid, and transparent - almost like he has no filter at all - so this is a must-listen if you want an honest breakdown of the current state of tech at his company and the industry at large.

She’s got stories about all that, as well as remote work

Companies rise and fall - usually because of of ego and hubris - and our industry is no different. Take CareerBuilder and Indeed for example; each to varying degrees are facing headwinds thanks to the unbridled belief that the good times will always roll and the competition is unworthy. Based on news this week, it’s looking more and more like Indeed is on the road to be the next CareerBuilder, and the boys dig in. Additionally, consolidation continues, as Fama has acquired Social Intelligence, making them a juicy acquisition target for the likes of Checkr and Sterling. What’s more, the CEO of MillerKnoll put her foot in her mouth and is paying the price on social media, while Amazon’s AWS is taking aim at Google and Microsoft’s OpenAi as another player in the artificial intelligence arms race. By the way, if you’re in Vegas for UNLEASH America next week, stop by the WorkHuman booth on Wed. and say Hi (you might even get a T-shirt).

Another germ makes its way thru the Boudreau household. Meanwhile, shares in Lysol products are a sure investment for anyone with school age children! In The News: Another CEO scolds staff on a town hall to stop their pity party if they don't get a bonus, while her bonus swells to $1.29MM. How dare you think of your own families well being!?! Now get back to work Mega merger in Canada with 2 telecom giants merging with the promise to create jobs that no one wants; 3000 call centre staff to take your complaint about cable TV. LinkedIn goes legit by offering a free service to verify you are a real person and not another fake profile trying to sell you SEO services. Tip of the Week Talk your top candidate out of taking the job. Drop the hype and give all the gory details of what’s not to love about working at your company. Recruiting Insights Indeed walks back their plan to muscle customers into PPA and PPAS.  Full circle, the first quarter of 2023 is very similar to 2019. A positive sign if you over look inflation. Tech companies are throwing money at PhDs in the AI space. They could be cutting themselves off of future talent. Advertising benefit for low paying job is slowing while retirement benefits are hot in the high paying roles 

The public launch of ChatGPT continues to drive enormous levels of hype about the impact of AI on life, the universe and everything. So what are the implications of generative AI on talent acquisition, how will it shape the development of recruiting technology, and what will candidates think of the changing balance between humans and machines in recruiting? My guest this week is the perfect person to give us some answers. Adam Godson is Chief Product Officer at Paradox, and his unique combination of experience in the industry means he has a deep understanding of the potential of AI and the likely future direction of talent acquisition. In the interview, we discuss: The current state of the market The difference between Generative AI and Conversational AI What changes will generative AI drive in recruiting technology? Why is there a rush of Large Language Models coming to the market at the same time? Decisions, Communication, and Automation Enriching interactive conversations Time reduction What is the art of the possible with personalization? The implications of "quick apply" on employer brand communication Polarising messages Calibration by the candidate reaction to AI What will the next two years look like, and where is technology heading next Listen to this episode in Apple Podcasts.

Chris Havrilla, vice president of Talent for Oracle Cloud HCM, thinks a lot about data and experience, how to use them for attracting new talent, and managing existing staff.

Talent Acquisition is changing, work is changing, and careers are changing. It has perhaps never been more critical to build and cultivate a professional network. As an industry that spends most of its collective working day on LinkedIn, we like to think that we do this well. But do we really understand how to build, maintain and leverage our networks in these disruptive times? My guest this week is Michael Melcher, an executive coach, leadership expert, and author of a new book called "Your Invisible Network". In our conversation, we discuss how networks are changing and the networking skills needed to transform careers. In the interview, we discuss: Being more aware of the network around you Building deeper, more powerful relationships How a whole generation has had no meaningful face-to-face connections at work The power of small, consistent action Seven types of relationships Minute 32 and the unpredictable nature of conversations Being more human The difference between a specific and a general ask How will networking develop in the future, and what skills will we need to learn Listen to this podcast on Apple Podcasts.

Zoom - yes, that Zoom - has made an acquisition in the employment space and to say the boys have an opinion is an understatement. Will it be enough to fend off Microsoft, Salesforce, Google and others? So we’re sayin' there’s a chance, and I’ll leave it at that. Then it’s time for Buy-or-Sell with startups Loopin, Pera, and Equitas, which gets pretty ugly, not gonna lie. Lastly, “strategic autonomy” is something we should all add to our bandwidth as France’s Emmanuel Macron talks about moving away from the United States and becoming a third superpower. It all ends up in a pretty animated, colorful episode. Enjoy.

Warning: This episode might make you hungry, as Chik-fil-A, In-N-Out, McDonald’s, and others get mentions. If you dare listen, however, you’ll get knowledge bombs on the trend of remote layoffs, how Hilton is turning happy workers into big profits and taking on AirBNB, and whether employers are “going broke by going woke.” Google’s pay-per-click for job postings gets airtime too … imagine that. And chicken nuggets. Lots of talk about chicken nuggets.

One of the biggest challenges of remote and hybrid working is the lack of face-to-face connection that humans need to be fully engaged and productive. This is always one of the main arguments for employers attempting to return their workers to the office. However, the advantages of remote and hybrid working are considerable, and forcing people to work five days a week back in an office isn't necessarily the best way of dealing with the challenges. So what can employers do to foster a sense of connection, belonging, and engagement and provide the scaffolding for high-performing teams? My guest this week is Sophie Bailey, Co-Founder and CEO of Worktripp. Worktripp is an Airbnb for business offsites, and Sophie has some hugely valuable insights to share on supercharging connection, creativity, and culture. In the interview, we discuss: The importance of face-to-face connection The consequences and cost of disengagement Why returning to the office isn't the answer Bringing people together in a memorable way Offsites to increase retention and drive creative ideation Which companies do this well, and how do they do it The importance of environment Designing an effective offsite and why you shouldn't start with logistics Long term planning to develop connection What does the future of work look like?

We talk about new ways to look at pay since the pandemic, how different employers take different approaches and what transparency means today.x

As we move through 2023, the pace of disruption continues to intensify. The complexities and implications of the economic and technological landscapes are overwhelming. It is increasingly difficult to break out of short-term thinking and make the long-term strategic decisions that are now needed. Over the last few years, the word agile has been somewhat overused, but does it hold the key to unlocking the future potential of talent acquisition? My guest this week is Joshua Kerievsky, Founder and CEO of Industrial Logic and author of a new book called "The Joy of Agile". In our conversation, Joshua revisits the original definition of agile and shares six mantras to help all TA leaders during these challenging times. In the interview, we discuss: The dictionary definition of agile Working with quick, easy grace Examples of agile at work How to be more agile Being adaptable and resourceful Be quick but don't hurry. The importance of balance and driving out fear Start minimal and evolve. Adaptability The new future of work Listen to this podcast in Apple Podcasts.

Avionte unveiled a 24/7 Mobile Job Board; Radancy acquired Ascendify; and more.

People love perks. Employees love them even more. Unfortunately, startups looking to make employee perks easy, scalable, and tax-compliant have come and gone over the years. Compt.io thinks they have a better mousetrap. That’s why Amy Spurling, CEO, and founder, has come on the Firing Squad. In a market expected to reach approximately $346 million by 2025, the stakes are high. Does Amy make it out alive? Gotta listen.

In this encore edition, we talk with Bridget Quinn Kirchner, senior director of client experience at the ADP company Work Market.

On this week's episode I'm joined by Quincy "Queen of Chatbots" Valencia as Joel continues his aspirations to be more like his idol, Clark Griswold, with a family Vegas vacation. I got nothin' man, seriously. Any who, this week's episode is packed with goodies like: Radancy acquiring Ascendify LeapXpert gives creepy a run for its money Kelly Fusion launches DIGITAL WORKERS! 300 million jobs to be replaced by automation Everybody gonna ChatGPT - Hireology, Beamery, Seekout, Phenom, who else?!?! Is GDPR Europe's secret weapon? ... and your office mates say that you talk too much, you never shut up! It's another tech-packed episode and The Queen of Chatbots is holding court! You're welcome!

We Cover: In more depressing news, we see layoffs at Canadian darling, Talent.com with a 25% reduction in their workforce Who knew that MacDonald’s had 150,000 corporate employees? Laying people off remotely was a choice! What’s old is new again. The title of CIO is outdated and hardly quantifies the role. Same with CHRO, the latest trend in what to call the top person in HR.  Tip of the Week Proving age discrimination is tough! Recruiters need to choose their words carefully when declining candidates or they could end up in a world of hurt. Recruiting Insights Not everyone wants to work for the high risk and high reward type of companies. In fact, one third of workers prefer dependable, stable employers. Branding your company culture as entrepreneurial is kind of a bad idea. Considering that most people who fit in this category were teenage vandals.  Changes in the last few years in job seeker behaviour, have HR teams spending 25% more of their time doing recruitment work. Time to hire your recruiters back? Doing it right - CANVA has no plans to lay people off; their hiring was well thought out and each role intentionally filled. 3 cheers for them! 

It's now three years since the pandemic changed many people's work trajectories. While some companies have returned to the office and others are desperately trying to, remote and hybrid work continue to be the norm for many organizations.  So putting aside noisy narratives and vested interests trying to take us back to the pre-pandemic status quote, what are the actual benefits and challenges of a distributed workforce? Also, with the opening of global talent pools, what can employers do to position themselves as an employer of choice in 2023? My guest this week is Sarah Fern, Chief People Officer a Velocity Global. Velocity Global has employers working remotely across six timezones and 27 countries, and Sarah has some valuable insights to share on the benefits and challenges of being a distributed employer. In the interview, we discuss: The benefits remote work offer to employers Opening up access to the best global talent Why presentism doesn't drive high-performing work The genuine challenges of a distributed workforce Loneliness, disconnection, productivity, and burnout Turning challenges into opportunities How to stand out as a global employer of choice Crafting meaningful benefit packages for remote workers Rethinking recruitment marketing Building culture remotely What is the new future of work?

Thank heavens for tenue... How else would The Chad & Cheese's brash, challenging, and no-bullshit attitude get in the same room, hell the same solar system, as NYU and UNC academics? Yup, tenue has got to be the answer. Earlier this year, NYU’s Institute for Public Knowledge, the 370 Jay Project, and the NYU Tandon Department of Technology, Culture and Society hosted a new discussion in the series “Co-Opting AI”, which included this humble podcast.

If you’re tired of hearing about ChatGPT, employers and vendors behaving badly, money-grubbing startups, and millions being made on OnlyFans, then maybe this episode isn’t for you. But in the likely chance that these topics are just what the doctor ordered, Chad & Cheese cover: Beamery boarding the ChatGPT train, Deel and Chipotle losing the Employer of the Year competition in just the first quarter of 2023, Buy-or-Sell with Paraform, Workera, and Payday, and a lawyer giving up the legal professional for a lewd career on OnlyFans.

Today we have a special edition of The Chad & Cheese Podcast for you today. Cue the ABBA music, which can only mean one thing, a Swedish twist as Sara Dalsfelt, Head of Brand and Community, over at Adway invited Joel and me to come on her show to talk about Building a TA Power House through Tech, Automation, & Revenue Growth. With over 1,800 registrants, much like every show, Joel and I knew that we had to bring the heat. So, we did... Enjoy!

Layoffs! Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water, Indeed dropped a layoff bomb this week, saying adios to 2,200 employees. Paradox officially launched an applicant tracking service, telling Fountain AI, “hold my beer.” Rippling slimes us, Ghostbusters-style. The boys play a little Buy-or-Sell with Rain and RiseKit. Karat acquires TripleByte’s tired ass and Dice gets a proverbial smackdown from the Feds. Whew! There’s a lot of meat on the bones of this week’s show, you lucky bastards.

Shelley shares that she thinks Anthony Kiedis will fall in love with her when he sees in her in the audience next week. You will have to wait another couple of weeks to find out! This week we cover: Indeed lays off 15% of their staff world wide - no surprise as sponsored job postings are down 33% compared to this time last year. Take comfort, former Indeed employees don't stand on the unemployment line for long.  Serge’s home province of New Brunswick leads the way in adding new jobs in Canada for February Regina - Rhymes with fun! City counsel is uptight and has lost their sense of humour.   Tip of the week: Check this cool free tool that real time analyses jobs on Google for Jobs and gives you insight on job titles being used, percentage of remote jobs, publishers etc.. https://rta.jobdescription.ai/ Recruitment Insights Take a fresh look at your company Career site; take the job seekers perspective. While you are at it take a look at the best and worst ATSs for trying to apply to your jobs. As we roll into spring, its time to clear out the old interview guides and bring in some fresh thinking Hiring for Culture Add VS Culture Fit, trouble is, culture is typically poorly and vaguely defined and will render nothing more than trite cliches! Does anyone else see red flags here? Posting jobs to placate overworked employees that we are ‘trying to hire’. This certainly explains a lot, since these are the same Hiring Managers who say ‘no one wants to work anymore’.

In this episode, Katee chats with Shai Poulard, the Head of Global Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging at NerdWallet. Shai has ten years of professional experience in various industries including technology, retail, banking, biotechnology, and entertainment.

As we move through the third anniversary of the first lockdowns, it is a good time to reflect on how the pandemic has changed our attitudes and expectations towards work. Employers now have to think very differently about culture, employee experience, and recruiting. The new generation joining the workforce is also driving some very different thinking around career progression. My guest this week is Abby Hamilton, Chief People Officer at LiveIntent. Abby has valuable insights about the importance of creating a human-centric approach to work where employees feel seen, heard, and recognized. In the interview, we discuss: Current talent market challenges How tech layoffs are creating opportunities The legacy of the pandemic Culture, Employee Experience, and Recruiting Wellbeing Changing career expectations from changing generations Video gaming and careers progression The role of technology Asynchronous communication The future of employee experience Listen to this podcast on Apple Podcasts.

The changes he’s seen and the changes he’s seeing now.

If you hear “CTO” and think chief technology officer, you clearly don’t work for United Airlines, where CTO now means chief trash officer. That’s right, United has employed Sesame Street’s Oscar the Grouch for their latest ad campaign. Don't worry, it’ll make sense after you listen. Additionally, Recruitics has published a great piece on ChatGPT as it pertains to recruiting and we discuss. We go from Grouch to Grinch to end the show, as we chat about Elon Musk’s recent foot-in-mouth actions that make DEI fans cringe and champions of serfdom cheer. Again, just listen, it’ll make sense.

This week in HRTech: Syndio expands product suite to address pay gaps; Karat acquires Triplebyte assessments and team.

Over 7 million men in America have opted out of the workforce. That’s a big problem for a lot of employers, but it’s an 800 lb. gorilla kind of problem for manufacturing businesses. So what the hell is going on? Thankfully, we invited Patrick O'Rahilly (pronounced like “O’Reilly”), founder at FactoryFix, a company dedicated to curing what ails such businesses. The boys didn’t quite solve this complex problem, but they sure had a lot of fun trying. Almost as much fun as you’ll have listening.

Let’s see, Ted Lasso is back, St. Patrick’s Day is here and March Madness is in full effect. So how exactly are we supposed to muster the strength for a podcast? Well, OK, anything for you, you loyal listening selfish bastard! Here’s what's on tap this week: More Silicon Valley Bank drama, Fountain goes after Paradox, Acquisitions by Textkernel and Andela, Who’d Ya' Rather with Upduo and HeadRace A tale of two cities … one in Florida and one in New York (I know, the suspense is killing you). Now, back to the Jameson. Sláinte!

Shelley is officially done with winter, bad news is that she can't control the weather! This week we cover: Meta lays off 10k more and we know that means more recruiters are looking for jobs. Silicon Valley Bank shuts down, we go through the timelines and try to determine what impact it will have to the world of work! Tip of the Week Looking for transferrable skills is a great skill in itself! Recruitment insights Dr. John Sullivan nails it with his think piece on how AI will impact recruitment. We highlight the key points. HR is more focused on spotting a lie on a resume than actually spotting a good candidate. Survey says....Talent Acquisition says that internal mobility is not something they really care about...question is should they care?

In this episode, Jackye and Katee talk to Andres SIgcha. Andres, a native Ecuadorian, earned his Master's degree in 2018 after a journey that took him around the world and exposed him to many cultures and diverse backgrounds. Through these experiences, he found his calling- to fight for workplace equity and give a voice to the underrepresented. He has created :https://www.tariy.ai/ which helps leaders become more inclusive in meetings and beyond. If you like what you hear, we would like to encourage you to subscribe to our channel!

In 2013, I wrote a report on the future of asynchronous video interviewing; while a few employers were experimenting with it, there was widespread skepticism about its usefulness and longevity. Fast forward ten years, and we are literally living in a different world. Post-pandemic video now sits at the centre of the working day for many of us, and asynchronous video interviewing is most certainly here to stay. So how are candidate attitudes towards video evolving, what problems is video interviewing solving for employers, and how will things develop in the future? My guests this week are the perfect people to answer these questions and give us a deep dive into the market. Phill Strazulla is the Founder of Select Software Reviews, and Euan Cameron is the CEO at Willo. Keep listening for a mix of practical advice and informed insights about the future of video interviewing. In the interview, we discuss: How video interview has developed since the pandemic Evolving attitudes to video Is a video interview now an expectation for candidates? Removing interview friction Point solution or platform? The case for asynchronous DE&I Improving hiring outcomes Will the resume ever die? How does AI fit into the future of video interviewing? Listen to this podcast in Apple Podcasts.

Viva HR CEO Ryan Naylor talks about how companies can nurture their culture and why transparency is an employer's friend.

You’ve heard about the meltdown at Silicon Valley Bank, right? Well, did you know that startups that employ more than 10,000 people and have raised venture funding totaling £3.5 billion in the UK were banking with SVB? Sometimes, when Corporate America sneezes, Europe gets a cold. We discuss. Then it’s time for a little Buy-or-Sell with Jobgether, Desana and Horsefly. And what podcast episode in 2023 would be complete without ChatGPT, this time with a European spin? It’s the perfect cocktail of recruitment news and commentary, just in time for St. Patrick’s Day.

This week in HR tech: Lattice launches a people strategy group; Crosschq adds support for French, German, Italian and other languages.

We are total suckers for the ‘80s. That’s why we love Wilco’s website so much. If you haven’t checked it out, do yourself a favor if you love Pac-Man, Galaga, and Donkey Kong … basically, all-things 8-bit. Anyway, back to business, On Freund and Wilco has created a sort of knowledge base for developers within a company to not only learn new skills but also get the occasional refresher for the more seasoned professional. Is it the next big thing, or destined to the dustbin of history, along with Custer’s Revenge? Gotta listen to find out.

The climate emergency is the greatest challenge humans have ever faced, and it affects all of us. In August of last year, as part of The Inflation Reduction Act, the US federal government pledged $365 Billion to fight climate change. Since then, over 100,000 climate jobs have already been created in the US economy. Despite the seriousness of the situation and the obvious relevance to our sector, climate jobs and the climate emergency don't seem to be things we are discussing. This needs to change. My guest this week is Natalie Lavery, Marketing Lead at Climate People, a Climate Tech recruiting firm. Climate People are fighting to make every job a climate job. It was brilliant to get Natalie's insight into a critically important market that is full of opportunity. In the interview, we discuss: The reimagining of the global economy What is Climate Tech, and what are Climate Jobs? Is Climate Tech the future of all jobs Barriers to jobseekers taking climate jobs and how to break them down Awareness, mindset, and incentives The importance of diverse talent and diverse voices What can we all do to make our jobs climate jobs? Listen to this podcast in Apple Podcasts.

What a week! Fast Company celebrated LinkedIn’s 20th birthday, Indeed relaunched its Gig platform and TikTok is getting closer and closer to a ban in the U.S. Good thing Chad & Cheese are here to help you make sense of everything. In addition, AI has made resume carpet bombing easier than ever, and “body doubling” is now a thing we get to talk about in workforce circles. Money keeps flowing, which means more Buy-or-Sell, this time with Barley, Fount, and Glider AI are on the chopping block. More corporate insanity: Salesforce looks seriously out of touch, laying off thousands of employees while paying actor Matthew McConaughey $10 million annually to be a "creative adviser and TV pitchman" for the firm. It can all make you want to sail away, which is good because a new cruise line promises to be your floating workplace of the future. Ships ahoy! Let’s do this!

International Women’s Day this week and we have many women in our lives we are grateful for.  Someone, please, take Elon Musk’s phone away from him! It's like letting kids play with matches and wonder why the house burned down. Beware the scams targeting recently by tech firm layoff. Linked In is not a safe place to play.  Pay transparency laws in Canada have officially expanded to include our 2nd most populated province, BC.  Tip of the Week 277 word challenge. Take your job ad and boil it down to just the good stuff.  *Extra points if you use ChatGPT for the assist. Recruiting Insights JP Morgan handcuffs certain IT employees to give 6 months notice when you quit. Its time to spend some quality time with your employment agreement, before you accept another offer. RTO horrors or is Amazon an evil genius Contractor VS Employee, slimy employer trick to take advantage of younger workers. Just bad for business. Trigger warning! If hearing the marimba ring on your iPhone feels like being electrocuted and you have the compulsion to respond immediately. You could identify as part of Gen Z - Generation Quit.
