In this episode, Katee and Jackye speak to Laura Close. And she brought the heat!

While Molly, CEO & Co-founder of Flexa, enjoyed London's winter sun, and I only had the heat of the topic to keep me warm, we covered loads including: the motivation behind creating Flexa, a platform where employers can be verified as offering true flexibility to their people surprising survey results that show both men and women want flexibility the two paths to getting your leaders to see that offering flexible & hybrid working is inevitable the challenges that some leaders face when trusting employees and measuring output instead of presenteeism Molly's own lessons-learned running a truly flexible business What is and most definitely isn't a 4 day week!

Over the last few months, as I've been researching the practical effects of the Great Resignation, we've heard the stories of talent acquisition professionals from the US, Europe and Australia on what is truly a global issue. One country I really want to know more about though, is India, one of the biggest global markets for tech talent. My guest this week is Aditya Singh, Director Head of Talent Acquisition at Informatica. Aditya has overall responsibility for designing and deploying Informatica's Talent Acquisition Strategy across India and gives us a great insight into what Informatica is doing to stand out in one of the most competitive talent markets on the planet.

SmartRecruiters and Checkr go shopping, Enboarder gets paid, the Valley is bummed about losing workers to Web3 and we finally get some numbers around the metaverse ... including a definition.

Julie and Torin dive right into the news of the day. Will the Senate act on creating pregnancy protections for expectant employees?

Happy Friday Everyone, In this episode shares information about transformation. A short recap about the holiday celebrations and a candle with good advice. Let's chit chat about change. You have a change that needs desperate attention because it isn’t balancing your business or perhaps your lifestyle. You decide what that change you are planning to address to your stakeholders. You type it up in an email and click send. Off into the universe it goes. Then you being to think was that a good idea, oh shit! I need to go and delete it. You over think didn’t you. Why are you giving away your own power? Why are you telling the whole world about the changes that you are making, stop asking for permission for approval? Why are you invested in their thoughts and feelings of what you are doing to make something spectacular? I get it is exciting news, but it can wait until you have transformed. “Don’t let people talk you into what they think of you.” Oprah Winfrey Why aren’t people doing what you want them to do? Honestly, people hate change, when they don’t like something their behavior changes, and they don’t want to do it. Change needs to happen we NEED TO MOVE FORWARD! It's hard and scary but it’s exciting also. You need to remove the old to make way for new ideas and growth. The world will move past you if you stay in your comfort zone. Here’s a Tip. Get out your Crayola markers, pens, and crayons, paper large enough for your amazing ideas, and brainstorm the shit out of that plan of yours. Or if you prefer a vision board, find pictures that you love, words, quotes things inspire, motivate you and paste, glue, and tape these on a bulletin board or put them in your journey book. Maybe you’re not the creative type and you prefer to use word or other writing format. Go find something that will work for you to execute that change! Or “Fuck it” it’s up to you to decide. I leave you with this, “Never water yourself down, just because someone can’t handle you at 100 proof.” (can’t seem to find who wrote this? It is Badass!) P.S. Go buy that candle,

Remember seeing and hearing your first Deep Fake? Synthesized voices that sound like your favorite movie star. Not a great impressionist, on the contrary, algorithmically cloned voices where even the subtlest of nuances of a voice can be captured and recreated. Cringy, yet incredibly cool that tech could accomplish such a feat. Yes, technology is advancing quickly and unfortunately many of the advances are seen as negative. Luckily, Ryan Steelberg, president, and founder of Veritone guides us through a more advanced cloned voice discussion. On this episode we cover: The difference between a deep fake and a "cloned" voices Practical applications for using cloned voices Where are chatbots headed? Will this tech help candidate and employee engagement? How do Pandologic and Wade and Wendy fit into the ecosystem? Well kids, welcome to the Matrix.

The world of employment took a break from crowning unicorns this week, and that's just fine with Chad & Cheese, who have gotten a little tired of taking the crazy pills on such a regular basis. In its place, Hiretual has a new brand and new money in the bank, Woven took a Series A, Bullhorn created an investment arm, the NFL has a race problem (still), Home Depot is hiring too fast or not fast enough? ...and finally. OnlyFans has another termination (allegedly) to add to its portfolio. This time, a cop. You have the right to remain sexy unless it steps on our Puritan sensibilities.

After seeing Mark Gilroy’s fabulous YouTube video about change, (not the one where he’s singing that song ;) ), I wanted to know more and how recruiters can influence change.

To say we were giddy about interviewing someone connected to the movie "Wolf of Wall Street" would be the understatement of the year. Yet, here we are. And why is Richard Bronson, a former partner at the "Wolf of Wall Street" firm talking to Chad & Cheese? Turns out he runs a site dedicated to finding employment for former felons called 70MillionJobs.com. It's important work that turns out to be one helluva podcast. Most interestingly, the impact on The Great Resignation as it pertains to job seekers with a criminal record isn't going as anyone expected. This one's a must-listen. Enjoy!

DE&I continues, thankfully, to be an extremely high profile issue for employers. However, the needle is still not moving quickly enough, and some of the data is shocking. For example, it would still take 200 hundred years to close the race and gender pay gaps at the current rate of progress. So what can employers do to accelerate the pace of change, and how much can individual recruiters influence diversity in hiring. This week, my guests are Trina Olson and Alfonso Wenker, co-founders of Team Dynamics. Trina and Alfonso work with some well-known organisations to improve their diversity and hiring practices. They have recently authored a book called Hiring Revolution that offers some extremely practical advice on how recruiters can inject DE&I into their organisation's hiring. In the interview, we discuss: Aligning cultural behaviour to values Why inequities in hiring and promotion are not a foregone conclusion Resume racism Recruiters taking individual responsibility to make change Notice, Name and Navigate RPDR What to do more of, what to do less of and what to stop. Onboarding How will things develop over the next two years? Listen to this podcast in Apple Podcasts.

We discuss about PayActiv’s products, how it sees the market and where it hopes to go.

What has been happening? Worqdrive pitch fest at HR Tech in Vegas! SUCCESSFUL!!! User logging in every 9 days! *Q3 Voice of the Candidate Study in June: What is job seeks chatting about on SM? What’s the word of mouth on applications, job hunt, and quitting? Starting a new path. Building modules, talking to people and consulting. Job seekers, online public conversation. Pandologic- HR Tech company that does job assessments, they help with every stage of the recruitment process. Breakdown: They find the right fit for job seekers. You Know Your Worth Ladies! Word on the net driven by men is that hearing about that job offer is a dud. This is surprising since women are more engaged on social media and there’s no conversations happening. Ladies, we need to chat I know you’re angry about the workforce, but I can’t hear you. The study found that in the past job seekers complained about the job process but when they finally got to the job offer, they were super excited. The word on social media sites is that job offers is at a low were talking about a disappointment. Data doesn’t lie. Here is an example: Ava applied for a director in marking position for a company. She was super excited when HR called her. While the HR manager spoke about the salary, benefits, travel, vacation. Ava, we need you to start Monday, and oh here is a pen, welcome to our company glad you’re here. Wait, what? Where’s the welcome package that the company heavily advertises? Let’s be honest here we get you Ava, oh we get it because we have been there. So, what happened? Why aren’t job seekers excited about the finish line? The 3 main issues why? 1. PAY- women are paid less in the same position a man has 2. $$$- childcare, bills, etc. 3. Quitting – Not feeling your valued or worth Did you know? The pandemic has set women’s labor force participation back more than 30 years. Many women were laid off and the strain of the lack of childcare forced women out of the workforce. Start conversations about actions to drive women back into the workforce and stop living in the past, continue to move forward.

Yeah, yeah, there's a unicorn on this episode that'll make you think of SNL's "Dick in a Box" skit, but there's so much more. Like, how about startup Otta receiving investment from an Indeed cofounder, or ZipRecruiter unleashing some cyber dude named Phil on job seekers or LinkedIn's fake profile problem. No? Well how about a psychedelic frog? Oh, and Craigslist is still significant. Gotta listen or you lose out.

Kim Wilkinson CEO of Verve Recruiting joins again as co-host - give her a big round of applause as her Linked In post hits 1.3 million views! Guess she hit a nerve. Annoying candidate behaviour, are we getting crusty or do candidates feel entitled? If your email is [email protected] time to change. Do you need to pay top dollars for top talent? Can a judge stop you from changing employers? How about we just quit then? Someone stole Serge’s picture and is using it on fake LinkedIn profiles. The lengths that people will go to - just to be him.

Torin and Julie jump into the Edelman Trust Barometer 2022, Nike's Larry Fink comes clean and Disingenuous legislators do more damage than they are likely to be able to control.

Whatever form it eventually takes, remote working is here to stay.

Rest in Power, sir.

One of the early discussion points in the pandemic was the access to global talent pools that the move to remote working could open up. Two years on, it is pretty clear that remote working is now a permanent fixture in the working life of many people. So how far are employers tapping into global talent pools, and what are the challenges and opportunities. My guest this week is Nicole Sahin, CEO and Founder of Globalization Partners. Nicole and her company work with many employers who are building global remote teams, and she has some valuable insights and experiences to share. In the interview, we discuss: The long term trends that are coming out of the pandemic Everyone everywhere The benefits of building global remote teams Diversity of ideas Engagement & productivity Building community Common challenges What mindset shifts are employers making Understanding cultural norms Building a global employer brand Nicole's book " Global Talent Unleashed."

This week's HR tech roundup: SeekOut raise $115 million in Series C funding; meQuilibrium adds biometrics, and more.

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.

Recruiting veterans to adapt their skills and take on jobs across a variety of industries.

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.

In true form, Serge has big news and you get to hear it before he even updates his LinkedIn profile! Our Recruiting Insights this week: Retention bonus as an afterthought may have the reverse effect. Keeping your employees happy is a less expensive way of keeping them. What’s a quitting bonus? Maybe we fell for some click bait here; the idea is nothing new but an Arizona CEO grabbed a few headlines by doubling his quit bonus to $5000 when no one took him up on the original $2500. If 16,000 recruiters get hired by March 1 2022 - then we’ve only begun to see the great resignation. Big shout out to James Ellis of the Talent Cast podcast, I’m signing up for his new book reading.
