Modern Recruiter Tech Stack w/ Madeline Laurano

Modern Recruiter Tech Stack w/ Madeline Laurano

At first glance, I didn't think this report would be very eye-opening. I. WAS. WRONG. The report stirs discussion around hard questions many HR and TA leaders have been asking themselves like. What happens when HR leaders are severely disconnected from front-line recruiters? What happens when it's harder to find recruiters than developers? What happens when recruiters turn down working for your company due to a shitty tech stack? Well, that day has arrived, and Aptitude Research's new report entitled: Talent Acquisition Technology and the Modern Recruiter only starts the discussions necessary in fixing a broken TA team, company, and industry. Chad and Aptitude founder, Madeline Laurano cover three of the seven key findings in the report.

Ep 404: The Great Opportunity

Ep 404: The Great Opportunity

It's only January, and it's already clear that the Great resignation will continue to be a huge talking point in 2022 as companies fight for the talent and skills they need. However, some employers are already reframing this challenge as a fantastic opportunity to attract talented people they might not have previously persuaded to move roles. This isn't easy, and obviously, employer brand and employee experience are huge factors. However, there is a lot that talent acquisition teams can be doing to stand out from the crowd by focusing on the areas within their control that make a real difference. My guest this week is Maggie Spong, VP of Talent Acquisition at Astra Zeneca. Astra Zeneca has certainly been thrust into the spotlight by the pandemic, but they have also spent the last few years developing several initiatives to differentiate themselves in their talent markets. In our conversation, Maggie shares a number of these, including their talent scout programme, building a personalised and inclusive candidate experience, and focusing on training and development for their talent acquisition team. In the interview, we discuss: How Talent Acquisition is evolving at Astra Zeneca Using Talent Scouts to build external talent pipelines for hard to fill roles and where there are gaps in internal succession planning Building a personalised and inclusive candidate experience. Giving feedback to all interviewed candidates The challenges of the pandemic Encouraging candidate self-selection by showcasing the authentic employee experience Turning The Great Resignation into The Great Opportunity The role of technology Employer brand advocacy Investing in development and the Talent Acquisition Academy Astra Zeneca's focus for 2022 Listen to this podcast in Apple Podcast.

Firing Squad: Grayscale's Ty Abernethy

You're probably texting right now, aren't you? And if you're not texting now, you will be soon. That's why text recruiting remains such a hot solution. And that's why industry veteran Ty Abernathy launched Grayscale. But there's a lot of competition out there - hello Canvas, TextRecruit, Emissary, Rectxt, and the rest - so escaping the Firing Squad with his pride intact is no guarantee. Did Ty survive, and what about that name, the one that sounds more like an investment firm or a bad '80s Tarzan movie? Gotta listen to find out.

And we had a fabulous conversation that included: the myriad of things Suzanne does, thanks to remote working how the world of work has changed from ‘being a work giver’ to being ‘be grateful you have employees’ persuading your hiring managers that closing the door on remote, flexible and hybrid work will be the company’s downfall salary shopping and bonuses, and what you can do if you simply cannot pay your people more boundaries, vulnerability and honesty!!

Ep 396: Talent Acquisition Revolution

Ep 396: Talent Acquisition Revolution

We often talk about evolution in talent acquisition. That has always seemed appropriate in an area where the pace of change has been relatively slow compared to other areas of the corporation. However, what we are seeing now is much more like a revolution as talent shortages, changing business priorities, and rapid technological advancement send shock waves through the industry. So what does talent acquisition transformation now look like, and how are employers moving at pace to keep up with the changing landscape. My guest this week is Yasar Ahmad, Global VP of Talent at HelloFresh. Yasar is only six months into his role but has quickly embarked on an ambitious recruiting transformation strategy that is already showing tangible results. In the interview, we discuss: Talent acquisition challenges at Hello Fresh Recruiting maturity From 1.0 to 4.0 and beyond Investment from senior leadership Driving a vision based on candidate experience Putting talent intelligence at the core Hiring and retaining recruiters by communicating a long strategy and building a sense of purpose The transformation roadmap The role of technology Automation Turning candidates into customers Hiring in 24 hours Sustainability in recruiting Listen to this podcast in Apple Podcasts.

Ep 395: The Challenges Of Recruiting Recruiters

We've been talking continuously about challenging talent markets on this podcast since March. However, we've not so far mentioned the one specific skill shortage which is affecting everyone. The pressure on many employers to scale up their talent acquisition functions is immense, but hiring experienced recruiters has arguably never been tougher. So what can companies do to attract and retain experienced recruiter talent while also building capacity and capability? My guest this week is Amy Schultz, Global Head of Talent Acquisition at Canva. Canva has been scaling up at speed over the last few years, and Amy has some very valuable perspectives and experiences to share. In the interview, we discuss: The recruiting landscape at Canva The current challenges recruiting recruiters when talent supply is even tighter than it is for software engineers Perceptions of talent acquisition within organisations Attracting and retaining experienced recruiters Investing in developing skills to build rather than just buy-in New sources of recruiting talent Raising up and celebrating the profession.

Ep 394: Lessons From Startups

Although I've tended to work with very large enterprise businesses as a consultant, I've always been fascinated by startups and the lessons larger, more established companies can learn from them. Although the actual execution will always be different, I think there are some real insights around how smaller, more agile companies think about talent, candidate experience, and recruiting technology.  My guest this week is is Ben Butler, Head of People at Dublin based tech startup Evervault. Ben has worked for startup and scale-up companies on both sides of the Atlantic. He has a really fresh approach to talent and some great insights to share.  In the interview, we discuss: Recruiting challenges in technology The power of a strong value proposition Cutting through the noise Building effective outreach and automating follow up How do you keep great people?

Ep 393: Hiring From Marginalised Groups

Ep 393: Hiring From Marginalised Groups

For many years I've been reading about the work UK retailer Timpson does to hire ex-offenders and other marginalised groups. What they do is a win win win situation. It's a win for the ex-offenders who get a job, it's a win for society as employment is a crucial part of breaking the re-offending cycle, and it's a win for Timpson as they get access to a large talent pool. Now more than ever, employers need to be challenging traditional policies and beliefs to think differently about hiring. With that in mind, I'm absolutely delighted to welcome Darren Burns, Timpson's National Recruitment Manager and Head of The Timpson foundation, to the show. As well as running Timpson's own ex-offender hiring initiatives, Darren also advisors other companies looking to do the same, and he has some unique experience and advice to share In the interview, we discuss: The work of The Timpson Foundation Timpson's motivations behind recruiting ex-offenders Breaking the re-offending cycle Working with prisons in the recruiting process The benefits of employing ex-offenders Advice to other employers Accelerator prisons and prison reform What's next for Timpson Listen to this podcast in Apple Podcasts.

Angela Hood, CEO and founder of This Way Global who is in the Google Accelerator program. No half hearted efforts allowed. We talked about what it takes to be brought along in this program and it's nothing short of incredible.  Are gaps in employment a good reason to pass over a candidate or is that bias?  After reading the first 100 resumes can anyone really be expected to read another 100?  Its pretty bad when you think most candidates apply for the wrong job.  Fear not, TWG has created what we knew someone would eventually build and then took it a step further and made integration a snap.  Remember you heard it here first! The future has arrived

The world knows Mr. Rogers. Mr. T. And even Mr. Mister if you're of a certain age. But Mr. ATS? Yes, industry veteran Peter Gold has taken up a moniker that a certain podcast cohost dubbed "Mr. VHS" because it seemed so outdated. Well, Gold is on the podcast after that remark and after writing a recent article titled, "Let Them Eat AI," where he decries the trend of artificial intelligence making its way into recruitment technology.
