Ep. 22: Mark Gilroy - Averting Loss Aversion In Hiring

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
