Glassdoor's New Gossip Machine
If you loved last week’s episode breaking down Appcast’s acquisition of Bayard, then you’ll love this one too. Plenty of commentary and criticism in the aftermath of the deal to discuss whether or not Stepstone knows what it’s doing. Not to be outdone, Glassdoor’s R&D department woke-up long enough to build an “innovation” it calls Bowls. (Yeah, we’re confused too.) Then there’s so much AI news that we had to go rapid fire and highlight our favorite stories. And, of course, another week of sexbots, chips in your brain and living like Hugh Hefner at the Playboy mansion for the rest of your days. Good times, and a great listen.

Getting Inclusive AF with Michelle Rhee
In this episode, Jackye flies solo with Michelle Rhee. Michelle Rhee is cofounder of BuildWithin, a software platform that provides employers with the ability to create and manage apprenticeship and employee learning programs covering everything from software development to digital marketing. There are currently more than 40,000 people across the US using the BuildWithin platform.
After nearly 20 years of working in educational nonprofits and later serving as DC’s first Chancellor of the 50,000+ student public school district, Michelle is uniquely familiar with the educational and workforce development needs required by today’s companies – especially as AI transforms the workplace and the cost of a college degree continues to price out the average minimum-wage earner. Michelle is especially passionate about modern tech apprenticeships and how they are being used to bring marginalized people (e.g., people of color, retirees, neuro-diverse, veterans, etc.) into the technology workforce and provide a reliable pathway to the middle class.

Ep 536: AI -Benefits, Risks and Potential
AI has dominated the discussion for months now, and if recent conversations are anything to go by, this shows no sign of letting up. However, the initial hysteria is fading, and the hype is slowly turning into meaningful discussions about what the AI-driven future will look like.
So what is the potential of AI in TA and HR, what are the current benefits, and perhaps most importantly, what are the risks? I was keen to get the perspectives of a Chief People Officer on all of this, so I'm delighted that my guest this week is Geri Morgan, Chief People Officer at Intellum. Gerri has some excellent advice to share and even got ChatGPT to actively participate in our conversation!
In the interview, we discuss:
What aspects of employer engagement will benefit from AI?
Personalization
The opportunities AI offers HR
Tech for tasks - AI as our new co-worker
What are the current use cases?
Compliance, ethics, and legislation
Keeping the momentum of innovation going
Mitigating risk
Building out AI-enabled processes
What does the future look like for HR?

Ep 535: Hiring Enablement
Hiring has changed. Over the last three years, candidate expectations have evolved dramatically, and many hiring teams are not keeping pace with this disruptive rate of change.

Grow At All Costs w/ Vanessa Burnaby
Another top-notch interview from our time at iCIMS Inspire in the spring. This one features Vanessa Burnaby, VP of Global TA at Avalara, a cloud-based tax compliance solution to handle every transaction in the world.

Recruiting Insights:
It seems like employees are deciding to stay put for now, what we like to call "The Big Stay." With all the uncertainties and changes happening in the job market, many folks are opting to stick with their current roles. It's a trend worth exploring further.
According to the latest data from LinkedIn, job posts that feature talent tend to attract more applicants. So, if you want to increase your candidate pool, make sure to highlight the skills you're looking for.

Many aspects of recruiting have changed significantly over the last two decades, with technology continuing to drive rapid leaps forward in innovation and efficiency.

Peak Geezer Performance w/ Jason Cochran and Ira Wolfe
Four podcasters walk into a German bar in downtown Indianapolis to discuss the state of recruitment and chaos ensues. You know (and love) two of the podcasters (Chad & Cheese) but you may not be familiar with the other two: Ira Wolfe and Jason Cochran, co-hosts of The Geeks, Geezers, and Googlization Show. Everything from AI to automation to … ah, hell, there were too many German beers and links of sausage to remember, but trust me, it was entertaining. Gern geschehen!

Ep 528: Social Mobility Via Talent Engagement
It's very encouraging that an increasing number of employers are committing to play their part in improving social mobility. It is becoming clear, though, that transactional and short term attempts at talent engagement do not yield the results needed for employers or the communities they seek to engage.
So what can employers learn from nonprofits that achieve positive outcomes that do improve social mobility?
My guest this week is Irene Shih, CEO of Minds Matter Bay Area. This education nonprofit connects driven and determined students from low-income families with the people, preparation, and possibilities to succeed in college. Minds Matter Bay Area has been incredibly successful with its mission, and Irene has some critical learnings to share that employers focusing on social mobility will find extremely valuable.
In the interview, we discuss:
What is college undermatching, and why is it important to solve it
The importance of networks
What are the most significant barriers to top college entrance for low-income students?
Economic connectedness and cross-class friendships
What are the interventions that lift people out of poverty?
Positive outcomes
Trust and relationships
The importance of long-term talent engagement and why transactional approaches don't work.
