ADP's chief of product inclusion on how software can be inclusive and how the industry works to achieve make it happen. .

The pandemic changed many aspects of talent acquisition and perhaps none more so than onboarding. With many people spending less time in their employer's physical offices, how have TA and HR teams evolved their onboarding processes to forge a sense of belonging, develop relationships and ultimately increase productivity and retention? My guest this week is Sharawn Tipton, Chief People Officer at LiveRamp. Over the last few years, LiveRamp has developed a strategic and very intentional approach to onboarding, and Sharawn has a lot of insight and advice to share. In the interview, we discuss: Shifting from a transactional approach to one that focuses on building relationships Providing an immediate sense of belonging The impact of the pandemic on onboarding and retention Employee Resource Groups Wellness and mental health Starting onboarding before the hiring process even starts Culture Moments that matter How important are the first 30 days Personalization of experience EVP & expectations Lesson learned and having a growth mindset.

BIG SHOUT OUT to David Smith at ENMAX for making the referral. Insights This Week Recruiter Abuse. Some candidates can be down right nasty and the keyboard becomes their weapon of choice. Don't put up with a disgusting response from a candidate, make your HR Manager deal with them. LinkedIn triumphantly proclaims they are helping to solve DEI by alerting recruiters with Diversity Nudge. It only applies to male/female ratio, so….. the balloon just popped. At least they are trying. Post the pay range. Colorado led the way, so let's hear what happened 18 months later when you compare them to a state without pay transparency. 7 deadly sins of interviewing. These examples are cringe worthy yet we’ve all been witness to what happens when hiring managers are let loose with no interview guide. Crying on LinkedIn; the ultimate in employer branding.

One company's approach to a dispersed culture.

Your life really isn't complete until you've gotten a complete breakdown of the past, present, and future of recruiting chatbots. That's why we asked PandoLogic CTO Sumit Gupta on the podcast to get a breakdown. Turns out, that chatbot may not be the correct label, considering job seekers have interviews with virtual Brad Pitt and Darth Vader to look forward to. Yeah, really. You gotta listen to this episode if you want a real taste of the future of recruiting. Or at least one company's vision of it.

This week in our HR technology roundup: Namely integrates with Slack, UKG's new CEO is bullish on revenue and more.

There is no labor shortage. At least that's the position taken by Sean Behr, CEO at Fountain, a solution for industries with high turnover. Nope. There's a SPEED shortage, instead. What the hell does that mean? The boys dig into his theses and tackle a wide variety of high frequency hiring issues plaguing so many companies these days in the process. A must-listen for employers having issues hiring truckers, nurses, restaurant staff, warehouse workers ... yeah, OK, pretty much all essential workers.

We talk about the dynamics of contingent work, the mindset of contingent workers and how their experience shapes up.

Maybe we should have named this episode Three Acquisitions and a Vendor Moving to Crazy Town? Remember the '80s movie "Three Men and a Baby"? This episode could be called "Three Acquisitions and a Vendor Who's Lost Their Damned Mind!" Silkroad Technologies acquired Entelo, Harver bought pymetrics and Mitratech gobbled up TalentReef. Can you guess which acquisition we like? Gotta listen. Then we take a trip to Crazy Town, where old-timey job distribution service provider eQuest has made the mother of all pivots, and the boys can't quite make sense of it (but want a hit of whatever they're smoking'). Oh, and Home Depot ends the show with a bit of sanity and common sense. Enjoy!

Deciding to join the recruitment community on Reddit should include a review of the community guidelines. Speaking of understanding the community, more annoying posts on LinkedIn. The top 6 plus bonus material; what peeves Shelley & Serge the most. Recruitment Insights of the week Reference checking, do it right or don't do them at all. Next on the horizon is social media checks; time to clean up your ancient twitter account. If you want a salary increase, you have to quit. You are losing money if you stay. July jobs numbers and unemployment at its lowest since 1979, this summer is shaping up nicely. Who is building the Delorean of the ATS? Our friend Elon at Tesla, that’s who.

What Turn does, how it tries to rise above industry buzz, and the role AI plays in its product plans.

Europe is surging! Travel is way up, the cash is flowing and employers of all shapes and sizes are embracing the continent, in light of Covid being in the rearview mirror. Most notably, London is the world's hottest new destination for employers and innovative companies, while Spotify is giving us a blueprint for increased retention, greater diversity and salary equality. Why, exactly? Gotta listen. And if that wasn't enough, the boys sit down with Elke Moerenhout, a marketing manager at Jobat, one of the top job boards in Belgium, to chat about the importance of employer brand and how to harness it in the fight for top talent.

Modern Hire launched two new features intended to improve both the client and candidate experience, and more in our weekly roundup.

Make yourself comfortable, boys and girls, because it's story time. On this episode, the boys bring Tim Dineen, co-founder, and chief innovation officer at Recruitics on the show. For those who don't know Tim, he was also the search engine optimization brains at Indeed back in the 00s. It's fair to say Indeed wouldn't be Indeed without Tim, which is why we rev-up the "way back machine" and pull back the covers on the early days of Indeed, as well as what the future may hold. For those who aren't students of history, don't worry, we spend plenty of time talking about the current state of recruitment tech and the future.

Empowering organizations to improve engagement and performance

If Chad & Cheese ever opened a restaurant, this episode might give you an idea of the menu items. In addition to talking about the acquisition of Lever by Employ (Jobvite, JazzHR), layoffs at you favorite companies, and Tesla putting its ATS in the rearview mirror, food and beverage take center stage. Big news out of Taco Bell, Chik-fil-A, and your favorite beer distributors. Kinda job-related. Anyone else hungry?

In the heart of the summer but Talent Acquisition news doesn't stop! This week’s insights Where is Employ headed with scooping up all the best ATSs under one roof? Lever is the their latest acquisition, making Employ the largest provider of TA solutions. In the age of the Influencer, it seems like everyone we talk to is trying to figure out what the difference between personal brand and employer brand is. Pros and Cons of the RPR designation. OR maybe it is time to over haul the program content. Indeed’s announcement on posting your pay rate; unless you were living under a rock, we all saw this coming. Get onboard or get hit by this train.

Modo Labs CEO Andrew Yu on how employers can put no-code development to use.

In this week's roundup: EdCast integrates with Zoom, Alexander Mann launches RPO, and more. #

Don't believe the headlines. Hiring competent developers is still really, really challenging. One start-up that's helping solve the quandary for companies is Turing, who - by the way - has already raised $153 million to cure what ails employers. Jonathan Siddharth, CEO and founder at Turing, joins the boys to discuss what makes Turing different, how Upwork gets it wrong, and why pay transparency and equality are still such a hurdle.

Safeguard Global CTO Duri Chitayat explains how he helps companies do business on distant shores.

If you love burritos, pizza and virtual reality - and who doesn't - then this episode's for you! Or should I say if you love automation, call centers and workforce training, this one's for you? Oh hell, you'll just have to listen if you're not following. What else? Job.com goes shopping and its CEO gets salty with the media. Glassdoor may not be as anonymous as it wants you to believe and we play a little Who'd Ya' Rather with HireArt and InternMatch. Now, put that in your Barbacoa Bowl and smoke it!

HRTech - Serge and Shelley are going! The update on what our millennial is encountering in her job search; empty promises and crickets. Getting that first job is tough, willing to work but no experience. The struggle is real. Recruitment Insights Shopify, the Canadian tech darling is reducing their workforce and you guessed it - recruiting is hit along with customer support and sales. They are putting a big blanket around their product building teams - no surprises there. The biggest bust of illegal workers in Canada, Fairmont Hotels & Resorts take the walk of shame, hiding behind their statement of ‘we did our due diligence’. It's unlikely they got 3 bids on that contract. Can anyone find a trace of the temp agency One Team? They vanished faster than water in the desert. The blame game continues, employers complaining, “no one wants to work anymore”, trace that statement back to 1894! The research confirms it, out of 1,000 hiring managers, ⅔ admit they are failing to fill their vacant positions because they are forced to only hire candidates with a degree. Some sectors like tech and healthcare are rethinking it - certifications might be as relevant as degrees for entry level jobs.

In this episode, Katee and Jackye meet with Ericka Hines, who is the Principal of Every Level Leadership. Ericka is an advisor and strategist who works with organizations to align their commitment to inclusion and equity with their everyday actions and operations. She has worked with government agencies, nonprofits, and foundations across the country to help their staff and stakeholders learn how to create an inclusive culture.

Women returning to work, the challenges they face and how they can continue to develop their careers.

Bullhorn Develops Taste for European Startups After stints in places like Scotland, Portugal, and Finland, the boys are finally back behind and microphone and ready to drop some European recruiting knowledge. That means a deep dive into the state of, and some disagreement on, young workers on the continent (spoiler alert: big differences between the north and south), then dissecting the recent acquisition by Bullhorn, gobbling up A.I. recruiting solution SourceBreaker. Plus, a little Buy-or-Sell with Veremark, Distributed, and Screenloop (which recently got angel investing from an Indeed cofounder).

In this week's HR Tech news roundup: Investment in work tech drops; ChartHop launches compensation reviews, and more.

Grant Messick, vice president of customer success at Akasa, looks at how staffing challenges get in the way of healthcare.

After a 2-week hiatus, the boys are back from Recfest and some R &R in Europe and ready to rip shit up. In their crosshairs? CareerBuilder, Remote.com, SHRM, SmartRecruiters, and even Burger King all feel the burn. Plus, a conspiracy theory from Chad, a 20-year Army veteran, on the state of military recruitment you don't want to miss. It'll be like they never left. You're welcome!

The only thing better than being at RecFest, which was a mind blowing experience, would be if Serge could have been there with Shelley. Meeting all the global influencers in TA and those who supported TRF’s from day one was certainly a hilite. AND Hung Lee needs a better photographer - his picture does not do him justice, he’s much better looking in person. Insights this week Behind the bold claim of every university on how many of their graduates find work; the fact is they never say how many found work in their field of study. We throw the curtains back to reveal 34% of grads could have landed the job they had without a degree. The boomerang is coming back at the New Zealand employer who plans to sue a former employee for a negative review on GlassDoor. Scammers are popping up like pimples on a teenager. We spill the tea on what our listeners are experiencing!

Most reunions suck. You have to pretend to look younger, more successful, and skinnier than you really are. And then there are those stupid name tags with your senior picture on them. Don't even get me started. Anyway, other reunions - like Firing Squad reunions - are awesome! That's why we invited Firing Squad alum Honeit, and their CEO Nick Livingston back on the show after 4 years to see how things are going. Spoiler alert: They're going pretty well. How well? Gotta listen.

We talk about Cornerstone OnDemand’s acquisitions of EdCast and SumTotal, it’s leveraging of content, and more

For as long as employee assessments have been around, they're still largely a mystery to most employers. Sort of like witchcraft or a pagan ritual from the Middle Ages, most companies enter the assessment game with a lot of confusion and fear. That's why we invited Plum's Caitlin MacGregor co-founder and CEO on the podcast to make sense of it all and relieve listeners from the pain assessment tests can sometimes bring. We're talkin' death of resumes, threats to employer branding, and being stuck in World War II technology. Don't worry. It'll all make sense, and you'll feel a lot better if you're in the market for assessment solutions. Plus, Caitlin is Canadian, which means her commentary goes down as smoothly as a cold Moosehead or a warm serving of maple syrup. You're welcome, eh.

In this week's HR technology roundup: Cappfinity launches expanded suite of immersive VR experiences; how tech streamlines HR's work, and more.

Humans have been telling stories for as long as we've been around. So, it's no surprise employers who tell the best stories are typically the ones who get the best workers. It matters. That's why we invited Patrick Hodgdon, VP of marketing at hot startup FactoryFix on the Cult Brand Series with RecruitmentMarketing.com's Julie Calli to explore what companies are doing right, and most importantly wrong when it comes to storytelling.

Looking at the changing workforce, how employers addressed Covid and how HR has evolved.

Jim Buchanan talks about diversity, today’s labor market, and more, on this edition of PeopleTech,

Independence Day is upon us and this week’s show is more exciting than an alien invasion, minus the Will Smith. It’s full of tragedy: 27 states’ employment websites have suffered a cyber-attack. It’s got takeovers: Deel acquires a foothold in APAC. Lives being saved: Nomad Health grows its healthcare pie to empower nurses nationwide. Cash money: Pave hopes to bring salary management to a global workforce. It’s even got nuclear-powered hotel flights and some Josh Bersin bashing (Chad’s favorite). You’re welcome. Commence the fireworks and chill the PBR!

We are joined by Allie Knull as our cohost this week, with some big news to share about ResumeFree - now an official MicroSoft world wide product. Insights this Week The phone screen is an outdated concept for hiring millennials, like we had to point this out to you? Using simple tech shows you aren't out of touch. A shout out to @Aritizia for doing this well. Big companies really don't want top talent, they want obedient rule followers. Job ads that say remote work but really are not. There’s no law against false job advertising but the real consequences are being discussed all over the internet. Dumb move Roe V Wade and the long term consequences to the world of work.

Measuring the impact of talent marking in a way that aligns with the rest of the business and demonstrates value for the c-suite has always been challenging. TA leaders often find themselves judged by measures and outcomes they don't fully control, which are impossible to translate into business value. So how do you prove the business impact of recruitment marketing and employer branding, particularly in such volatile times? My guest this week is Nick Thompson, Global Talent Marketing Leader at IBM. Nick and his team have been working on this issue for a while and have devised a way of measuring the value of talent marketing that resonates with the C-Suite and provides a laser focus for optimisation and improvement. In the interview, we discuss: The scale of recruiting at IBM The current state of the global market for tech hiring The shortcomings of existing talent marketing metrics Speaking the same language as the rest of the business Measuring where you have ownership and control What is the time to apply metric, and how was it developed? What insights does time to apply enable? Mapping onto business value The reaction The levers that reduce time to apply Removing the reasons why people don't click apply The role of employer branding Advice to TA leaders Listen to this podcast on Apple Podcasts
