Recruiting Future is the podcast that helps Talent Acquisition teams drive measurable impact by developing strategic capability in Foresight, Influence, Talent, and Technology.
Skills shortages in emerging technologies have reached critical levels, with companies all fishing in the same tiny talent pool for experienced professionals. But if these technologies are relatively new, why assume only experienced talent can work with them?
In such fast-moving industries, how can companies develop their early career hiring strategies to ensure they get net new talent who can be productive immediately?
My guest this week is Tan Moorthy, CEO of Revature.
