Post Status Excerpt — The Future of Hiring is Marketing

"Culture is King. Content is the town crier." - Lance Robbins

In this episode of Post Status Excerpt, Lance Robbins (Global Recruitment Lead at XWP) talks to David Bisset about WordPress companies struggling to find talent in the current job market. Lance believes employers need to think about how they market themselves to prospective employees. Traditional approaches to hiring won't work with the next generation of job seekers. What if open source values and ways of thinking point to solutions WordPress businesses can uniquely embrace?

Lance will be speaking at the upcoming WP Career Summit on April 8th, 2022. You can register to attend for free as a job seeker.

Why This Is Important: Finding the right talent (and being found by the right employer) is challenging in the tech space. If you are looking for the right employee (or boss) then this is worth a listen.
