Storytelling is one of the things that makes humans human. In recruitment marketing and employer branding, stories persuade, create empathy and drive the emotional connections that make people take action.With the rise of automation and generative AI, human-based storytelling will likely be a critical differentiator between employers. So do we understand how to tell compelling stories, and are our strategies around storytelling sophisticated enough to deal with a future of more disruptive change?My guest this week is Lauryn Sargent, Co-Founder of Stories Incorporated and an expert in storytelling for recruitment marketing and employer branding. I caught up with Lauryn at the recent UNLEASH America conference to hear her thoughts on the future of storytelling and listen to the great advice she had to share.In the interview, we discuss:Does TA understand storytelling on a strategic level?What are the elements of a great story?Psychological safetyStructuring the perfect story interviewMaking content work in different channels and formatsThe impact of generative AIThe future of recruitment marketingListen to this podcast in Apple Podcasts.

How data can change discussions about your workforce, and how to make it happens.

Did you know quitting a company is contagious? Yeah, us either. Luckily, there are really smart people looking at data and making such conclusions. That’s why we invited Andrea Derler, Ph.D., principal, research and value at Visier, a human-resources analytics company, to the show. Visier found that when employees were laid off or terminated, the likelihood that their direct colleagues would quit was 7.7 percent higher than if those employees had remained. Ooooh, that’s juicy. Sounds like a podcast topic … so let’s do this.

As part of our Unleash interview series, we had the privilege of speaking with Clickboarding CEO Mike Ehrle.Mike shared his fascinating journey in the HRTech industry and how he landed at Clickboarding.He also discussed the emergence of "pre-boarding" as a replacement for traditional onboarding, and how Clickboarding competes against full-service talent management platforms.At Unleash, employee retention was a hot topic, and Mike introduced Clickboarding Retain as a solution.He also addressed the challenge of talent scarcity that many organizations face and shared some valuable tips to avoid ghosting.

Build, buy, or partner? Fewer questions have dogged mankind as much as this one, especially when it comes to HR tech. That’s why Chad & Cheese added Textkernel’s VP of sales in North America, Chris Conrad, to get to the bottom of this pickle, live from the big stage at UNLEASH America in Las Vegas. Along the way, they break down the issue, visit the historical implications and shine a light for current and future generations to answer this puzzling question, once and for all.

At the beginning of May, I attended UNLEASH America as a podcaster and panel host. It was UNLEASH's biggest event to date in the US, and the content and conversations were excellent. As you can imagine, the implications of Generative AI dominated the discussion. From talking to a range of practitioners, vendors, and thought leaders, it was clear that everyone agrees that Talent Acquisition will be changed quickly and forever by new technology. However, it is not just technology that is driving change; aside from the obvious economic issues, many employers are rethinking their whole approach to talent, and this was reflected in several conversations I had about the blurring lines between talent acquisition and talent management.Next week I'll be publishing some long-form interviews I recorded at the event, but in the meantime, here is a series of short conversations that capture the essence of the discussion at the show. Appearing in this episode:John Vlastelica, the CEO of Recruiting ToolboxSarah White, the Founder of Aspect 43Mervyn Dinnen, HR Analyst and my co-author on "Digital Talent."Crissy McConnell, Internal Recruiting Lead at Guild.Topics discussed include:Thinking holistically about talentBreaking down the silos between Talent Acquisition and Talent ManagementThe impact of Generative AIThe market for recruiting technologyLegislation and legal confusion around AIPsychological Safety and ERGsThe future of jobs and the end of everythingCandidate and consumer attitudes to AIRegenerating talent to open opportunitySurfacing internal talentTotal experienceThe future of talent acquisitionSubscribe to this podcast in Apple Podcasts.
