On today’s episode, host Ryan Dull is joined by Colin Lyle, System Director of Talent Acquisition at AdventHealth, for a conversation around Colin’s efforts to improve candidate conversion at his organization. As part of his initiatives to streamline the talent acquisition processes, Colin emphasizes several important points for consideration: - The talent market is growing increasingly competitive, and moving candidates through the hiring process quickly is now an industry necessity. - The current market demands risk, and risk-averse talent leaders must get creative in their recruitment efforts. - Leveraging an internal talent pool is as important as external recruiting efforts. - Transitioning existing staff to new roles can provide more capable team members than direct external hiring. - Talent leaders must always be willing to reevaluate their standard operating procedures, scrapping them entirely and starting over if necessary. - An organizational story is best told with supporting data and analytics. Some of these measures may seem extreme but the new hiring landscape brought about by Covid has created an extreme environment. Some drastic measures may be necessary to remain competitive in this radically transformed recruitment world.

In today’s conversation, host Ryan Dull is joined by Peter Brooks, formerly at Northrop Grumman, but who has become Vice President, Global Talent Acquisition at Protiviti since the date of this recording. The workforce is undergoing seismic shifts in its makeup and workplace expectations. With a lesser emphasis on formal education and a greater focus on remote work and work/life balance, recruiters are being forced to change their approach so as to reach the right talent. Peter offers a path forward in this new hiring landscape. Some of his proposed solutions include: - Prioritizing skills over education in the talent search. - Taking advantage of new technologies, including AI, to streamline the search for talent. - Focusing on developing the careers of internal team members rather than filling open positions with new hires. - Encouraging recruiters to take a more active role in organizational operations. Approaching talent acquisitions from this new angle can widen the talent pool. This allows recruiters to reach the right candidates while also bringing them a value-added proposition that encourages longevity. Peter describes how this holistic method brings together the needs of businesses and candidates in mutually beneficial relationships.

On this episode, host Ryan Dull is joined by Christy Harper, Director of Talent Acquisition at Konica Minolta Business Solutions U.S.A., Inc. To help organizations build a better candidate experience, Christy has some core ideas that she tries to encourage businesses to adopt: - Each department should have a clearly defined role in the hiring and onboarding process. - HR leaders should focus on bringing value to the whole organization, not just their own department or position. - A more centralized and structured hiring process provides a more meaningful candidate experience. - A better experience for recruiters often translates into a better experience for candidates. - Involving current employees in the talent acquisition process leads to a more committed workforce and better team cohesion. - Harmonize HR metrics with broader organizational metrics to ensure business functions are aligned. - Take efforts to facilitate clear communication between HR and the departments they hire for. With these principles undergirding her efforts, Christy is creating a more inviting candidate experience and bringing out the best in a vast talent pool. - Konica Minolta Business Solutions U.S.A., Inc. - https://kmbs.konicaminolta.us/?utm_source=linkedin&utm_medium=organic%20social&utm_campaign=social%20media - Ryan Dull - https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryan-dull-743a8b4/ - Sagemark HR - LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/sagemark-hr/about/ This episode is brought to you by Sagemark HR Sagemark HR can help you: ✔ Improve your talent practices and make better, more informed people decisions.

Today, host Ryan Dull is joined by Ryan Maglione, SVP Global Commercial Talent Acquisition & tsp at Syneos Health Commercial, to talk about the fundamentals of talent engagement. Well-designed processes and the latest technology can help in talent acquisition but without the right leadership for those processes, and the proper balance with technology, TA teams can miss the mark. For Ryan, helping an organization focus on talent is the same as helping it focus on its most important functions; these include: - Taking the time to build talent instead of just buying it. - Having the right culture, thinking, and people in the organization. - Telling the story of the organization and its goals. Ryan believes that thinking in these terms will avoid scrambling for talent. - Ryan Maglione - https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryan-maglione-4189421/ - Syneos Health Commercial - LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/syneoshealthcommercialsolutions/ - Ryan Dull - https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryan-dull-743a8b4/ - Sagemark HR - LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/sagemark-hr/about/ This episode is brought to you by Sagemark HR Sagemark HR can help you: ✔ Improve your talent practices and make better, more informed people decisions.

On this episode, host Ryan Dull is joined by Derek Guide, Talent Acquisition Director at Fragomen, to explore some ways in which talent acquisition leaders can embrace the human element of the recruiting industry. As Derek highlights in this conversation, it’s important for recruiters to remember several important tenets of talent acquisitions: - Face-to-face interaction will often provide greater returns than digital communication. - Automate as many tasks as you can to free up your team to do the work that only a human can do. - A candidate experience is more than a data point. Understanding the desires and motivations of candidates will lead to more successful recruiting. - Talent acquisition is a very human industry. Embrace that part of the work and lean into its relational quality. - Mentorship is an unspoken, but fundamental, part of any HR manager’s job. - Following up with former team members is a great way to develop broader industry knowledge and learn better hiring practices. In an increasingly digital age and an ever-more automated workflow, Derek’s emphasis on human interaction is an important reminder of the unique value proposition talent leaders bring to their organizations. - Fragomen - https://www.fragomen.com/trending/worldwide-immigration-trends-reports/index.html - Sagemark HR - LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/sagemark-hr/about/ This episode is brought to you by SageMark HR.

On this episode, host Ryan Dull is joined by Greg Pardo, SVP of Global Talent Acquisition at Fresenius Medical Care, for a conversation about some of the initiatives Greg has taken to transform his organization’s approach to talent acquisition. Greg sees himself as a lifelong learner of his industry, and that comes with a certain humility in his approach to his work. As he sees it, there are always ways he, and his fellow HR leaders, could improve. If he learns a better way of pursuing talent acquisition, he owes it to his team to implement it. This philosophy has led Greg to adopt a few key principles in his role: Always pursue a more compelling employment value proposition. Learn to tell your brand story in a meaningful way. Be flexible in adopting and implementing new recruiting technology. Be willing to periodically review the selection process and candidate experience. Evolve with changing workplace trends, like remote work and scheduling flexibility. Remain humble and willing to learn something new. These principles were honed over a long career in talent acquisition, and they’ve allowed Greg to remain adaptable and find continued success in a tumultuous field.

In today’s conversation, host Ryan Dull is joined by Sheila Stygar, Talent Executive, Transformational Leader, and Culture Champion, to discuss the ways that organizations can offer something of value to the talent they recruit. Talent recruiters are in a unique position compared to other roles within a business, because the resource they manage is people. That human element can sometimes be difficult to account for, and each individual brings their own unique needs to the table when they’re considering joining an organization. Recruiters then have to walk a fine line between finding people that add value to the company and making room for the company to cater to the talent’s needs. For Sheila, finding the perfect balance in that complicated dance is one of her greatest passions. She relishes the opportunity to train and develop future leaders by understanding their needs and creating a value proposition that encourages them to fully commit to their work. To her, it’s not just about landing the right talent, but continuing to grow that talent and consistently offering them incentives to work on their own development. When done well, it creates a symbiotic relationship that promotes mutual success.      - Sheila Stygar - https://www.linkedin.com/in/sstygar/      - Ryan Dull - https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryan-dull-743a8b4/      - Sagemark HR - LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/sagemark-hr/about/ This episode is brought to you by SageMark HR.

In today’s conversation, host Ryan Dull is joined by Kelly Culler, Senior HR Business Partner & VP of Talent Acquisition at Northwestern Mutual. They talk about the powerful effect that creating a great experience for your team can have on all stakeholders. More than ever, it is challenging to ensure that all individuals involved in talent acquisition (be they, candidates, hiring managers, or recruiters) have positive experiences. But that’s exactly why it’s important to include stakeholders. Their insights can help to glean data to optimize those experiences. For Kelly, creating a great experience for all stakeholders is one of the most important aspects of her job. She believes that if employees have a great experience, not only will that lead to higher engagement and retention, but it will also flow into the business and on to customers, vendors, and all constituents.

Today’s conversation between host Ryan Dull and Britton Bloch, Vice President of Talent Acquisition Strategy and Head of Recruiting at Navy Federal Credit Union, centers around the balance between technology and people-driven systems. Technology, and especially newly developed AI systems, have the potential to streamline recruiting processes and make talent acquisition far more efficient and effective. However, as Britton explains, these tools are only useful if they’re implemented into systems that are already functional. Her work at Navy Federal Credit Union has been a journey of using technology as a supplement, not a crutch. For Britton, technology doesn’t tend to create new structures but instead often exacerbates the functions of the structures that are already in place. A well-oiled machine will become even more effective with the right technology, but chaotic and unrefined processes will only create more chaos when paired with technology. Because of this, Britton is wary of trying to adopt new tech too quickly. She prefers to spend the bulk of her time refining and improving her organization’s processes and then using technology to supplement a system that’s already working well. As Britton tells it, technology is an enabler of systems, not a creator.
