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.
A self-confessed professional psychology geek, Mark & I had a fascinating conversation that will help recruiters & hiring leaders partner better!
We talked about:
- let’s stop pathologising change and reframe change in the right language
- the pandemic showing us that change isn’t hard!
- change accompanies by loss is the real issue
- rational thinking vs. primal more emotional responses
- winning hiring manager conversations by talking about loss aversion
- sunk cost fallacy and the Ikea effect, and how this impact recruitment remorse
- choosing your language around change with care
- measuring optimism, energy, and level of fault-finding at the start
