AGEISM IN RECRUITMENT - TO DO's FOR CANDIDATES & EMPLOYERS

Two things are unfortunately true: age-ism in hiring is real and it's a problem that ALL of us will have to face sooner or later. What can we as recruiters do about this? What can we as candidates do to improve our chances? This is the focus of this week's Brainfood Live On Air

evidence of ageism in hiring

intersection with gender / ethnicity / social class

more / less prevalent in different industries?

where in the recruiting funnel is the bias most obvious?

what generational stereotypes are most strong held?

what can senior job candidates do to improve prospects?

what can employers do to de-bias their hiring?

With Jo Weech, Head of People, (Exemplary Consultants), Dorothy Dalton, Exec Career Coach (3plus), Jacob Sten Madsen, Talent Acquisition Advisor (Nielsen) & Anne-Hermine Nicolas, Head of Executive Recruitment (ex-Deloitte)

Ep127 is sponsored by our buddies Applied

Join Applied and Lori Trawinski, PHD, CCDP, for a webinar discussing how to nurture an age-inclusive workplace from recruitment, to assessment and retention. We'll explore why age inclusion matters and how you can create an age-inclusive workforce, as well as an interactive Q&A. Lori Trawinski is a thought leader on age diversity in the workforce. She is Director of Finance and Employment at the AARP Public Policy Institute in Washington, DC. Her areas of expertise include age diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workforce. Applied is the essential hiring platform for building diverse, high-performing teams. Their recruitment software predicts the best candidates and removes unconscious bias from hiring.

BUILDING SOCIAL CAPITAL WITH SOFTWARE DEVELOPERS

As any tech recruiters knows, in 2021 finding software developers isn't the hard part, getting them to talk to you is!

We can spend a lot of time writing clever emails, being cute with copy and going with hyper personalised approach, but can we find other ways to make a better connection? How do we build 'social capital' with the audience we want to recruit from? If we can gain the respect of software developers, we might find we don't need to be clever to get a response.

What do developers want?

How do developers prefer to be contacted?

How to communicate 'we mean know harm'?

How do we build trust, efficiently?

What do tech recruiters need to show online? Do we even need to be there?

What kind of dialogue style works best?

Is there geographical variation on how to build trust?

We're with Alla Pavlova, Recruiter (Riot Games), Wim Dammans, Talent Sourcer (TenneT) and Iwan Gulenko, founder (Coderfit)

EXPANDING SCOPE: FROM TALENT ACQUISITION TO TALENT EVERYTHING Talent Acquisition has spent the past two decades attempting to create an identity distinct from HR....was this mistake, and do we now need to discreetly reverse course?? Apologies for the provocation but I suspect this is more or less what we NEED to be doing, especially as the employers everywhere demand more from people teams, forcing us all to expand scope to take on work that was previously someone else's theatre. Additionally, our understanding of the human journey through a company tells us that we need break functional siloes which emerged in a different era of business. What is it like to expand scope beyond TA? Should more of us do it? Let's speak to TA professionals who have already. - How did this journey start? - Was it a strategic decision to expand scope from just TA? - What new functions are most interesting for you? - Which ones are most difficult for a person coming from a TA perspective? - What have you learned ABOUT TA since you expanded scope BEYOND TA? - What skills should professionals develop in order to best position for future expansive roles like this? - What next, what else do you personally need to learn about your current career path? - How do you envisage the future of TA / Talent Everything? All this and more on Brainfood Live On Air, We're with Manjuri Sinha, VP of Talent Success, OLX Group, Yasar Ahmad, VP of People (HelloFresh), Christine Ng, Head of Talent & Communication (Quantum Motion) and on Friday 31st May, 2pm BST / 9am ET Follow the channel here (recommended) and click on the green button to register for this show.

play

07/05/24 • 72 min

PUBLIC SPEAKING TIPS FOR NEWBIES: HOW TO DELIVER YOUR BEST RECFEST TALK Once upon a time, I too was also a reluctant public speaker. In fact, I did not even see the point of attending industry conferences - after all, what did I have to say, what did I have to learn? I am very glad that I accepted the invitation of one Mr Stephen Donaldson to give a talk at one of his events, Bill Boorman, who set up the first (ur) conference I really attended and Sarah Cooper, who by turning up at the door at the same time persuaded me to 'walk in' rather than walk by. No question: life and career changing - all for the better, as confidence, network, learning and profile have all up levelled. No exaggeration to say that Brainfood would not be here were it not for those early events. I'm keen for others to have the similar opportunity, so hence we're going to do a Brainfood Live on the topic of Public Speaking - in particular, how to get good at it. We're assembling an all star cast of industry professionals who are experienced on stage speakers and trainers. - What do they know about public speaking that others do not? - What are the expected feelings prior to the presentation? - How to build a presentation to enable best delivery? - What is the best method to control nerves? - How can a person who is introverted and hates performance, get better at public speaking? - How body language techniques do we need to know? - Can breathing techniques help? - What makes a memorable talk? - How to make sure you are psychologically level during the presentation? - How do I deliver the best Recfest Talk next week? We're with Akbar Karenga, Founder (Maarusi), Sam Berthoud, VP of Talent Solutions (hackajob), Angela Cripps, MD (Recruitment Gym), Christina Robinson, Founder (Green Umbrella), Bill Boorman, Founder (TRU) & friends Ep263 is sponsored by our buddies The Recruitment Events Co Recruitment Events Company run the No1 Festival for Recruiters - now in Knebworth AND in Nashville, Tennessee.

The Recruiting Brainfood Podcast - Brainfood Live On Air - Ep144 - Building Institutional Confidence for TA & HR
play

02/26/22 • 65 min

There is status gap between departments in business. Finance is the treasury. Sales bring the money. Product / Engineering might make the things we sell. Legal creates the contracts we are all bound by. Where does TA / HR sit in this order? Why do recruiters / TA consistently seem to be a department that has fight extra hard to be heard? Perhaps, we lack 'institutional confidence'

What is 'institutional confidence'

How do we know this is a problem

What do we need to do on departmental level to level the playing field?

Is this even possible, or desirable thing to do?

What is the role of evidence / data in producing better relationships

How can we become more central to decision making

Can a department build confidence?

w/ Lesa Molinari, Global Branding & Talent Acquisition Director (Colt), Juliette Rouquet, DITA SME (Danaher Corporation), Raj Gill, Talent Acquisition Manager (British Telecom) & Jon Hull, Head of Resourcing (Balfour Beatty)

HOW TO HAVE BETTER INTAKE MEETINGS WITH HIRING MANAGERS

One of the most important parts of the hiring process is the intake meeting with the hiring manager. Get this wrong, and you will end up doing a lot of work for absolutely zero gain; worse you may additionally damage the relationships you need to have in order to succeed.

This is the focus of this week's Brainfood Live On Air

When do you have an intake meeting?

How do you structure it?

What information do you need to capture?

How do you handle 'I'll-know-it-when-I-see-it'

How do you deal with the laundry list?

How do you follow up?

Is there any kind of framework we should be using??

We're with Mary Kay Baldino, Head of Talent Acquisition (R1 RCM), Christy Spilka, VP, Global Head of Talent Acquisition (iCIMS), Mark Deubel, Talent Attraction (Gitlab) and Libby Fox, Talent Acquisition Specialist (Payaut) and on Friday 3rd September, 2.00pm BST

play

08/06/21 • 78 min

REMAKING CANDIDATE EXPERIENCE POST PANDEMIC

As we emerge from the pandemic era, we are beginning to realise that the world of work might begin to look radically different from what we were used to in the before times. Super hot labour market, elevated candidate expectations, widespread re-evaluation of our relationship with work, changes in preferred methods of communication, reorientation and re-prioritisation of values.

How does all this impact the design of Candidate Experience?

  • Has CX increased / decreased in importance?
  • Why?
  • What used to work before but doesn't anymore?
  • What did not work previously but does now?
  • What to do to differentiate from competitors when most of the experience is digital?
  • How / when to automate / humanise?

All this and more, as we explore the changing expectations of job candidates

We're with Jana Staníková (Autodesk), James Ellis (Roku), Christina Robinson (Green Umbrella), Adam Gordon, CEO, (Candidate-ID)and Steve Usher (5ive Studios). It's a must attend for anyone involved in top-of-the-funnel talent attraction

RECRUITMENT REVIEW OF THE YEAR 2021

We're finally here folks - the last Brainfood Live of the year! I know that it's only the 17th December but it's Christmas Eve next Friday and I suspect everybody will either by with friends and family for the holidays, or zoning out on Netflix and whiskey on their own, so this is the day we're going to close the year on.

As such, lets talk about this year - what was the biggest thing to happen in recruiting in 2021 and why?

How about

The Great Resignation - did it happen, and if so, where?

The Hybrid Hype - are we over it yet?

Apple kills Facebook with ad opt in

Facebook pivots the Metaverse (and becomes Meta)

Big blockchain revival, have we seen the already the next dominant players for Web3?

New HR Tech stack - Deal, Oyster, Remote

What else?

Lets talk about it in a rolling two hour special, as we talk with the great and the good in the community, including but not restricted to Louise Triance, Founder (UK Recruiter), Neil Carberry, MD, (REC), James Osborne, Founder (The Recruitment Network), Heidi Wassini, Global Talent Acquisition Manager (Vivo) & Colin Donnery, CEO, (FRS) & Wolfgang Brickwedde, Founder (ICR)

All this and more in Brainfood Live on Air - it promises to be a fascinating show!

Ep137 is sponsored by Platypus .

Personalised or Standardised?

What is the base philosophy for Candidate Experience - do you attempt to give everyone the same branded experience, or do you vary it according to the individual and the individual circumstance? And if we do 'both' (I know you will say this!), then what are the circumstances when one approach makes sense and not the other?

We will discuss

Types of Candidate - are all candidates the same?

Costs of CX, how do we measure the effort and the effect?

What are the benefits of improving CX?

Do we have any evidence of this, other than 'right thing to do'?

Why are recruiters reporting bad CX when they are looking for jobs - how much of a factor is how in-demand certain candidates are?

Do we need specialists in TA to run this?

How do we incentivise recruiters and managers to improve CX?

Do we know what candidates want?

We're with Heidi Wassini, InHouse Consultant (CopenHagen Airports), Christine Ng, Head of Talent & Media (Quantum Motion), Sian Sidaway, Global Talent Experience Manager (GoCardless) & Gem Parker, Candidate Engagement Lead (EY)
