Employer: See Me, Protect Me, Respect Me!Reading Jess Von Bank's post, “Stop filling reqs and start providing safety. Address the toll of fear and create a culture of hope and health. Do nothing but obsess over the care and nurturing of your own people, and you will stop the bleeding. Just a bet.”, left me wanting to know more! Jess is Lepagen's storyteller and Community Leader for the Now Of Work, and all around awesome human.In our conversation we covered plenty, including: employees wanting, 'see me, protect me, respect me, keep me safe' why your business will thrive if you help people thrive why we shouldn't be going externally to 'acquire' talent before we have looked internally Jess's love of WORQDRIVE and internal mobility how recruiters are ready to cherry-pick employees from the companies who will set mandatory returns to the office! :o trusting people to work like adults stopping being slaves to the screen and slaves to work with solid boundaries and the Now Of Work community. Grab a cuppa, pen and paper and settle in! ✍🏻

Destigmatizing career breaks is something that I feel very strongly about and something that talent acquisition needs to take very seriously. With so much lip service paid to diversity and inclusion and the current difficulties of finding talent, it makes zero sense to still view career breaks negatively.This week LinkedIn have announced Career Breaks on the LinkedIn Profile to better reflect the realities of career journeys and, in turn, begin to normalize career breaks in the recruiting process. My guest this week is Jennifer Shappley, Global Head of Talent Acquisition at Linkedin. As well as talking us through the new career breaks feature, Jennifer discusses the key findings on LinkedIn's latest Global Talent Trends report and shares her thoughts on the future of talent acquisition.In the interview, we discuss:Global Talent TrendsWellbeing and flexibilityTrustLinkedIn's new Career Break profile sectionHow can talent acquisition support people who have taken a career breakHow is talent acquisition changing, and where is it going?Making interviews equitable in a hybrid worldWhat are the biggest challenges talent acquisition teams are facingListen to this podcast in Apple Podcasts.

Inflation is on everyone's mind right now. How will it impact wages? Are bloated margins to blame? How about immigration? How will it impact the cost of doing business? What's going to happen with energy prices? Interestingly, history can tell us a lot about what the future holds. That's why the boys have brought back Columbia professor Suresh Naidu to make sense of the current state of inflation.

For over a decade now, I've been flagging up the development of virtual reality as something talent acquisition should have on their radar.

The dreaded application form process.Do you remember a time in which you applied for a job? Do you remember how much time it took to fill out a paper application or electronic one? I do, it mentally time consuming it is also a waste.Problems with application forms Time, depending on the job position it can take up to 2hrs to complete application form when your resume has all the information on it. Highest level of education posted first then scroll to the bottom of the page to find another question. Did you graduate from High School/GED? Upload resume then type up all the information in a 10 font box or type on a line that does not lineup. GPA & Transcripts -Why? What college did you attend? Did you get a degree? Federal Gov. applications can take up to 2 to 4 hrs. to fill out. (I mean don't they already have information on people) These are just a few problems there are more.Why are we still living in the past? Did you know that newspapers still advertised for jobs; people still read those.Candidates don’t get the recruiting process at all. Why is it taking so long for this company to email me for the next step? It’s been 2 hours with no word. I’ll tell you why I am reading your life’s story that’s why? By the way it's the companies fault on this one. Hey companies the law enforcement are too busy to address the issue of the application form! You will not get arrested or go to jail.Problems recruiters run into Application forms too tiny to read. Reading through unrelated information such as college, degree, and reviewing transcripts that don't align with the job position. Aligning resume with application form Horrible non negotiable hiring managers (this should be #1) (Compliance) TIME Application forms are from the past No personality quiz questions ( this is not a dating site) Ideas in place of the application form Resume Candidates video with four questions RELATED to the position, and of course a bonus question about hobbies, etc. Remove the paper application process from companies and mom & pop shops save the trees, the forest critters will be quite happy and so will recruiters.P.S. Fix the problems and people could do small things and these things can get done.
