There are a lot of surveys out there. But very few of them have a track record going back 13 years. That's why we invited Employ, the new parent company of Jobvite, JazzHR, and NXTThing RPO and their CMO Allie Kelly to the show to dive into their 2022 Job Seeker Nation Report. The three big themes discussed:The Great Resignation, Automation, and Remote Work (and yes, ghosting came up too).You've got questions? Here are your answers.

We talk about making use of tens of millions of records, and whether analytics in HR deserves all the attention it gets.

Those of you who have read my book Digital Talent (available wherever you get your books!) will know that I feel very strongly that personalization is the new megatrend in talent acquisition.Offering personalized recruitment marketing, candidate journies, assessments, feedback, onboarding, and communication will be critical objectives for employers over the next few years. Candidates are demanding it, the technology is here to facilitate it, and the amount of friction that will get removed from recruiting processes will be a win for candidates, recruiters and hiring managers.Two weeks ago, the awesome team at Paradox invited me to speak and record some interviews at their client board event in Scottsdale, Arizona. Paradox is a technology that is really driving the progress of personalization. It was really insightful to talk to some of their clients about the need for personalization in their TA processes and the change journies they are taking their recruiters and hiring managers on to make personalization happen.I'll be sharing these interviews over two episodes of the show. Later in this episode, you'll get to hear from Adam Chen, Chief Marketing & Experience Officer at The Amenity Collective, Rachel O'Connell, VP of HR at Great Wolf Lodge and the return to the show of Victor Gains SVP of Talent Acquisition at Aveanna Healthcare.But first of all, I sat down with the amazing Madeline Laurano, Founder of Aptitude Research, to get her views on the drive towards greater personalization.These are some of the topics you'll find discussed in this episode:How technology is driving personalizationCreating experiences through conversationHigh volume recruiting challengesSignificantly reducing time to hireChange managementBuilding a consumer grand candidate experienceUsing personas to differentiate the employee value propositionThe role of technology in personalizationImplementing technologyThe future of talent acquisitionListen to this podcast on Apple Podcasts.
