Tea Time with Talent Acquisition

Jodi unpacks the what, why, and how, introducing diverse hiring models you might not have considered before—models that could shape the way you and your team grow in the coming years.

Going against the notion that Recruitment is Broken we explore the very reason why it in fact isn't. Tom also explores more about the the various recruiting models at a teams disposal shedding light on how throughout the upcoming years a collective approach to recruitment can be found when the aim is simple... to get the job done.

In this episode, we speak with Adriana Hurduc, an accomplished Head of People and Talent with an impressive track record at GetYourGuide, Babbel, HelloFresh, Clue, and Cavalry Ventures. Together, we explore how Talent Acquisition professionals can stand their ground, showcase their value, and foster stronger collaboration. Adriana shares clear, actionable advice on navigating challenges and the risks we face if we don’t advocate for ourselves within our profession.

In this episode we cover it all, the WHY and HOW when it comes to transitioning into a strategic partner for your business. Drawing on the brilliant career of Senior Partner and Systemic HR Leader Irina Pelevina this can become your one stop shop to revert back to when you need.

We talk about fluctuating markets, quality led hiring, steps individuals can take to lean into changes within their role and the ever hot topic #AI

João, a Senior Sourcing Partner with the scale-up Wolt shares exactly how he views this phrase and also takes us through how we can balance strategy with efficiency, where the candidate experience can be enhanced to favour this approach to sourcing and what service alignment means within the TA strategy!

Tapping into the brilliant mind of Dan Matthews we explored how recruiters can identify the right communication channels to get the best out of the hiring manager relationships, we covered advanced sourcing strategies that have worked best for him and his teams and we even looked into sourcing marathons (no running involved).

Thinking outside the box we then step into the unknown and Aleks poses a radical yet potentially game changing idea that might not be right for everyone but could certainly be the difference for some.

Together, we explore what makes an interview truly effective, dive into practical techniques, and address the challenges recruiters face today and in the future when it comes to craft of interviewing.

Within this 30 minute episode I look to break down the true importance of a balanced process, how we can utilise data to make better hiring decisions, how you can build a pipeline better to become more efficient and introduce the idea of a co-op of companies!
