Talent Acquisition Leaders Podcast - Recruiting, Staffing, Human Resources

On this episode, host Ryan Dull is joined by Annie Carolla, Global Director of Talent Acquisition at Gensler, for a conversation about the impact of relationships on talent acquisition functions.

Human connections are the backbone of successful recruiting, which is why Annie approaches her role as a TA leader according to the following principles:

Intentional talent branding efforts are foundational to telling your organizational story to potential candidates.

Internal connections with colleagues and departments outside of HR are as important as external connections with candidates and talent pools.

Recruiting and retention are two sides of the same coin, and TA leaders should still focus on a candidate’s experience after they’re hired.

Open communication between a team and its leaders is foundational to successful recruiting.

The recruiting experience should be tailored to each individual candidate.

Having a people-centered view of TA functions creates an approach to recruiting that improves both conversion and retention.

On today’s episode, host Ryan Dull is joined by Matt Battista, Senior Director of Enterprise Talent Management at PCHI.

Matt’s talent acquisition initiatives revolve primarily around saving the organization money and his team’s time by streamlining their workflows with technology and improved processes. For him, there are several key foundations to this approach:

A smaller team, when aided with technology and defined process, can be more agile and quick than a team with more moving parts.

Technology should be implemented to aid existing processes, not as an attempt to transform a workflow.

Never neglect the team members themselves. Effective communication between staff is a greater asset than the best technology.

Data is essential to using other assets well.

There is no one-size-fits-all strategic hiring plan. The only way to find and attract the best in class talent for your organization is to tailor your strategy according to the available data.

Tech tools are not an excuse to stop professional development. Improving your own skills and the skills of your team will help you use any tools more effectively.

On this episode, host Ryan Dull is joined by Shannon Taylor, Director of Talent Acquisition at JCPenney, to hear about some of the initiatives he’s spearheading to highlight the opportunities for growth and advancement that his organization offers.

For fellow talent acquisition leaders, Shannon offers advice from his experience with JCPenney:

In a rapidly changing recruiting landscape, recruiters must evolve with changing candidate and business needs.

Branding is a talent acquisition function. You have to be able to tell your organizational story effectively to candidates.

The consumer-facing organizational image may need tweaking to highlight opportunities and promote internal growth.

Look at the candidate experience the same way you evaluate the customer journey. What obstacles would prevent a job seeker from maintaining momentum through the hiring process?

Be intentional in showcasing the room for both horizontal and vertical growth for new hires.

Showcasing the opportunities for advancement and development is a great way to improve candidate conversion and longevity.

Nick Mailey, Vice President of Talent Acquisition at Equinix, has a long history of tech industry recruiting, but he began that path after a short political career pursuing social justice. That early political experience gave him a values-driven approach to recruiting that he lives by to this day.

Chief among Nick’s talent acquisition values is a willingness to invest in his people. He encourages his fellow leaders to lean into this concept, his advice is to:

Provide opportunities for development after a candidate joins your organization.

Encourage organizational leaders to be part of an ongoing development structure both for themselves and their teams.

Seek out candidates that are in career transitions and provide the skills training they need to effectively change roles.

Veterans, refugees and immigrants are often avid job-seekers who can be effective team members given the right onboarding and training.

Current hires lay the groundwork for future organizational leaders. Investing in those hires ensures that your company builds a pathway toward continued growth and success.

On today’s episode, host Ryan Dull is joined by Matt Rimer, Director of Talent Acquisition at Trinity Health (HQ Michigan) and Host of “TA In The Trenches”, join them for a real dialogue on some of the latest insights, trends, and challenges inside healthcare talent acquisition today.
Here's a few notes from the show:

TA can be hesitant to adopt emerging technologies due to a lack of connectivity to the specific use cases TA leaders are working to solve.

Though technology provides many benefits, nothing can replace the value of genuine human interaction.

With machine learning and artificial intelligence, recruiters can focus on tasks better suited for human interaction.

Recruiter, Hiring Manager, and Candidate experience must remain a priority and technology should improve it, not detract from it.

With technology, the focus should always be on how it can give us leverage to improve our results. That usually starts with making things more efficient, but what everyone should be striving to deploy are those "big levers" that will have a lasting impact and truly change the game.
