The Best Candidates Always Have Options—Make Sure They Choose Yours 38:51

2y ago38:51

38:51

Toms Notes: Before startup culture (and then COVID) came on the scene and turned traditional recruitment upside-down, most organizations considered candidates lucky to interview with them. Brad Clark, Director of Talent Acquisition at Article, a direct-to-consumer furniture company, realized early on that the best people always have options. The be…

Post-COVID Recruitment: What Candidates Want Now 42:04

2y ago42:04

42:04

Tom's notes: What do you really want out of a job? When George Dobbin got into the talent acquisition business over a decade ago, his answer was money—but today, he says, “That’s a bad reason.” During our conversation, he shared with me some of the surprising insights he’s gained into the buoyant job market of today—including the fact that people e…

Why People With a Criminal Record Make the Best Employees 38:12

2y ago38:12

38:12

Tom's Notes: We’ve all needed a second chance at one point or another. But for formerly incarcerated people, second chances are a rare thing. They’re often screened out of early recruitment rounds if they identify themselves as having a criminal record. Here’s what you need to know about the value of second chances: Data shows that people with crim…

Why Interviews and Dating Both Measure the Wrong Things 44:46

2y ago44:46

44:46

Tom's Notes: We all know that interviews are inherently uncomfortable. Each side evaluates the other to see if there’s a possibility for long-term collaboration, and that comes with some growing pains—especially in a traditional interview setting. In my chat with Chris Kyriacou, we talked about interview better, measure what matters, and how to use…

Tom's Notes: The SaaS market in Human Resources is getting more crowded all the time—but just a few years ago, it wasn’t unusual for Glenn Donaldson to meet with prospects who had never even heard of software as a service. At that time, Glenn and intelliHR founder Rob Bromage saw a distinct gap in the market. Hardly anyone was leveraging all of the…

Tom's Notes: What if you could ditch job boards and cold outreach for good in favor of a strategy that does the heavy lifting for you? Peoplepipe founder Nathan Jefferson sees two conversations developing in the wake of the global pandemic.

The Case for Talent Acquisition as a Core Strategy 49:53

2+ y ago49:53

49:53

Tom's Notes: In this weeks episode, host Tom Hacquoil spoke with Adrian Thomas who has spent most of his career fighting to change the perception of TA being an entry-level position in organizations. On the contrary, he firmly believes that TA should have a strategic seat in “the room where it happens”—if not on the board, at least in close proximi…

41:36

Tom's notes: If you started looking for a new job tomorrow, what would you look for in a job ad? When Ed Ross started recruiting talent for tech companies in the early 2000s, he was tasked with sending applicants lengthy job specs. These specs contained the information companies thought candidates required—namely, a list of skills and requirements …

How to Hire Based on Merit, Not Pedigree 55:27

2+ y ago55:27

55:27

Tom's Notes: We’ve all run into some version of the same problem. As candidates, we know we can do a job well, but we lack the professional experience to land an initial interview. As employers, we’ve got open positions to fill, and we want to fill them with the right candidates. Unfortunately, a traditional resume makes it nearly impossible to pre…

Tom's Notes: By the time Dan Caines joined the team at LumiraDX in 2019, they’d grown to 300 people and were looking to uplevel their talent acquisition strategy. Dan helped grow the team by 150 people in one year as the sole recruiter. He made the last 50 hires in a single quarter. When COVID hit, the company shifted focus from R&D to manufacturin…

Don’t Design Your Company Values—Discover Them 1:04:09

3y ago1:04:09

1:04:09

Tom's Notes: Remember the company values your organization put on the wall somewhere? Hopefully you do, but the odds are that you don’t. Studies show that most employees don’t know what their company’s core values are. Many organizations struggle to define their values, but it’s essential to get them right—and not just because companies “should” ha…

Why Traditional Employer Branding Is Broken—And How to Fix Yours 55:29

3y ago55:29

55:29

Notes from Tom: Traditional employer branding is used as a magnet to attract a high volume of candidates. Companies share their strengths, benefits, and opportunities, presenting themselves in the best possible light. (Not unlike the corporate version of a Tinder profile.) The more people who swiped right, tradition said, the better a company was d…

Simple, but not necessarily easy. Here are 3 simple steps any business can take to improve their candidate experience. Step 1: Anticipate questions before they’re a…

Why You Should Buy HR Software Like a Toddler 50:43

3y ago50:43

50:43

Notes from Tom: There’s no one-size-fits-all software solution, so there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to vetting software. When looking to vet HR software, Phil suggests taking an approach similar to that of a toddler. Asking the questions "why" and "how" over and over. Most people stop at the outermost layer when they’re searching for an HR sof…

If Your EVP Appeals to Everyone, It Appeals to No One 10:30

3y ago10:30

10:30

Notes from Tom: Employee Value Proposition (EVP) is something a lot of companies struggle to get right. They try to compete with the loudest, best-known voices in the market—but, of course, those companies are fundamentally different. This kind of EVP yields candidates who don’t want to work for your company in particular; they just want to work in…

Why Your Job Ads Should Repel Candidates 1:01:03

3y ago1:01:03

1:01:03

Notes from Tom: Most recruitment is a lie. Open, honest communication can make the hiring process—and your company—stronger. But how do you do that and what does it look like in action? Glenn believes that there are two employee engagement strategies that work (almost) everywhere: Open and honest communication, warts and all Offer employee share ow…

Notes from Tom: What is the biggest mistake organizations make around employee experience? When we asked Billie Shipley of Jam City, her answer was a bit of a surprise. She didn’t talk about benefits, compensation, or a workplace teeming with happy dogs. Instead, she said that employers ignore the full life cycle of an employee—which includes their…

Why It's a Mistake to Copy Billion-Dollar Tech Giants 8:51

3y ago8:51

8:51

Notes from Tom: Recruitment advice that has been informed by all the “best” mainstream outlets is not always relevant and to the vast majority of companies it's actually harmful. That advice, often found in places like Forbes or Inc. Magazine, goes something like this: “Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix, and Google are wildly successful companies. I…
