Episode #145. Interview with Marnie Jones on recruitment & attracting talent

In this conversation Shelley speaks with Marnie, the Founder of Talent X, a recruitment company who are unique in their approach (e.g. they don't work on commission and are 100% invested in getting the right candidate for every role). Marnie shares how she get's to know her client's businesses intimately and doesn't mind sharing the good, the bad and the ugly when it comes to advertising a role.

Talent X appeals to candidates who are looking to understand the reality of a role (not just the shiny stuff), are group-centric and career focused and are going into an organisation with 'eyes wide open'.

Marnie shares that getting the right person in the right role is influenced by how accurately the role is advertised saying "fresh, exciting and true ads are what will penetrate the market and get you the talent you’ve been searching for".

This conversation will make you reconsider taking shortcuts when recruiting and show you what's possible when you invest in getting it right the first time!
