Talent Talks, formerly The Talent RevolutionThe Best Candidates Always Have Options—Make Sure They Choose YoursToms 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 best way to ensure they pick yours is to make recruitment all about the candidates, not the company.Article currently employs nearly 1,400 people—but the team wasn’t always so large. Last year was a period of hypergrowth; the 15-person talent acquisition team hired...

Talent Talks, formerly The Talent RevolutionHow Saturdays at the Pub Changed Job Ads for GoodTom'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 for the open position.After running his own consultancy, Ed’s now the Senior Tech Talent Acquisition Manager at Skyscanner, a flight search engine and booking marketplace. He took the time to teach us a...

Talent Talks, formerly The Talent RevolutionHow to Hire Based on Merit, Not PedigreeTom'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 predict who those candidates are.This problem affects Fortune 500 companies and small startups alike, and it’s one Omer Molad and co-founder David Weinberg set out to solve. They’ve since created Vervoe...

Talent Talks, formerly The Talent RevolutionScale Your Team by 5X Without Breaking a SweatTom'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.

Talent Talks, formerly The Talent RevolutionDon’t Design Your Company Values—Discover ThemTom'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” have them.If your company selected values because you “had to” have them, you’re making a classic mistake—and you probably picked the wrong ones. Company values only matter if they are unique and...

Talent Talks, formerly The Talent RevolutionWhy Traditional Employer Branding Is Broken—And How to Fix YoursNotes 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 doing.But this logic has a fatal flaw. You can’t possibly hire everyone you reach, so high application volume is actually a net negative.Instead of using employer branding as a magnet, you should be...

Talent Talks, formerly The Talent Revolution3 Steps To The Ideal Candidate ExperienceNotes from Tom:Creating the ideal candidate experience might sound complicated, but it’s actually quite simple: find out what your candidates want, and offer it to them. Simple, right? 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 asked- Think ahead about what those questions might be, and answer them honestly before anyone even has to ask.Step 2: Create the content that answers those questions- Think about job descriptions as j...

Talent Talks, formerly The Talent RevolutionWhy You Should Buy HR Software Like a ToddlerNotes 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 software solution. They might download a general RFP template and have vendors complete it, ask a few peers about the software they love or hate, and use that information alone to make a purchase.Ask questions internally about...

Talent Talks, formerly The Talent RevolutionIf Your EVP Appeals to Everyone, It Appeals to No OneNotes 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 general. They’ll take home a paycheck, deliver mediocre work, and leave the moment a competitor offers them more money.But here’s the good news: you can compete with the best and...

Glenn believes that there are two employee engagement strategies that work (almost) everywhere:Open and honest communication, warts and allOffer employee share ownershipBut what does each mean and why does it matter? Open and honest communication can look like a lot of things. In one example, Glenn spoke to a firm’s head of IT about w...

Talent Talks, formerly The Talent RevolutionDouble Down on Diversity with the Power of InternshipsNotes from Tom:What are the keys to creating diverse organizations? How do you hire diverse candidates when your current team doesn't reflect the future you want to build? I asked these questions and more to Esther Odejimi-Uzokwe of 10,000 Black Interns (also known as, 10KBI). Esther shared her story as well as insights from personal experiences and those she's developed over time working in the social impact space as the Executive Program Director at 10KBI.For Esther, if a company talks about Diversity & Inclusion but doesn’t have a single Black person in management, it’s a...

Talent Talks, formerly The Talent RevolutionWhy Employee Experience Matters (and What To Do About It)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 post-employment experience. When you bring people into your workplace, there are many ways to impact their experience in a positive way. For some people, internal employer branding and marketing is a great way to deve...

Talent Talks, formerly The Talent RevolutionWhy It's a Mistake to Copy Billion-Dollar Tech GiantsNotes 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. If you recruit the way they’re recruiting, you’ll have a shot at that level of success, too.”Why is this advice irrelevant for most organizations? It’s because you aren't a billion dollar company. You don't exist in the same ec...
