Hey, Future Billionaires!

What are the biggest trends that affect the future of agency recruitment? Are you positioned for success in the rapidly evolving world of work?    With advances in Open AI and the growing popularity of remote work and the gig economy, the recruitment industry is set for a major transformation in the next 5-10 years. This shift might cause fear and uncertainty among recruiters, however if you're aware of the trends, remain agile and are willing to adapt, you can capitalize on the tremendous new opportunities that will be created.   Join us in this episode with special guest, Rob Green, as we explore the future of agency recruitment amidst the rapidly changing technological landscape. Rob reveals his insights based on extensive research and shares the specific steps his company is taking to stay relevant.  Rob Green is the CEO and Founder of The GRM Group, a holding company that combines leading recruitment, research, recruitment tech, and management consulting brands, all servicing the global legal industry. With 20 years of experience in the recruitment industry and having placed lawyers in 40 countries, Rob brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the discussion. Episode Outline and Highlights [03:05] Why and how Rob's business model has evolved since we last spoke. [08:00] How skill matching platforms will change the recruitment industry. [14:57] Why Rob created a research company, GRM Intelligence. [26:45] The future of the recruitment industry.  [29:40] Core trends that are changing the way that we work.  [40:30] How should you adapt your recruitment business to stay relevant? [47:33] Preparing for the future; why Rob is investing in Umbiie.   The Three Meta Trends That Are Changing the Recruitment Industry   Recruiters and recruitment business owners are always interested to know how technology such as Opan AI will affect the industry. You'll enjoy hearing Rob's fascinating insights about the future of work, based on the research report that he commissioned.  His research team identified three trends that will transform the way people work and how companies recruit:    The Sharing Economy / Gig Economy Global Talent Pools / Distributed Teams The Skillset Revolution   Rob urged the listeners to zoom out from the world of recruitment for a minute and realize how the world is changing based on the above three meta trends. We also discussed the growing “gig economy,” and how talents prefer to work from anywhere in the world and would prefer project-based instead of full-time. If you fear that AI will take a majority of jobs in the future, that is not the crazy part. Rob cited a report by Dell Technologies which it states that “80% of all the jobs in the next decade that we'll all be working in haven't even been invented yet.”   What does it mean for you as a recruiter or a recruitment business owner? As Rob very well puts it, “There's going to be a whole new way of recruiting, a whole new skill set of recruiting. And we can prepare for this.”   Leveraging Skill-Matching Platforms for Recruitment   Rob dived into how they are adapting to the trends of the shared economy and shared data by means of technology. They are using the platform StiiNT.iT (Stint It) - to simplify their process and maximize potential. The platform is a private-labelled recruitment technology where “Professionals across the world are vetted and skills verified creating anonymous profiles. These profiles will be searchable and accessible, whether it sits on someone else's platform or your own – building a collaborative talent pool, ensuring 100% matches, and removing unconscious biases.”   Rob's team has white-labeled the Stint It platform to create Umbiie (umbiie.com), a global skills-matching platform for legal professionals. It's not a perfect comparison, but this is the equivalent of Bumble for recruiting - the idea is that candidates choose which employers can unlock their profile.    Rob shared how they deal with data privacy and how the platform can be monetized. As he stated, “This is really not a pitch because I don't get anything out of this. This is just, do you wanna prepare for the future? Do you believe that there's going to be pressure on contingency recruitment? If you do, there is a solution out there.”   Our Sponsors   This podcast is proudly sponsored by i-intro and Recruitment Entrepreneur.   i-intro® is an end-to-end retained recruitment platform.

We are in a series called "Never Too Old For Fairy Tales: Engaging Our Biblical Imagination". From now through June, we will hopefully be enchanted with the story of God again. Not just the story of God found in Scriptures, but the story of God that continues in this present moment. We will be engaging our imaginations and creativity, which seem to atrophy as we grow into adulthood, by revisiting some childhood fairytales and discovering how these stories might illuminate God and the Scriptures for us in a new way. This week, from the story “Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves”, Pastor Karla uncovers the power of words. The way we use language has the power to open doors or close hearts.  Passage: Matthew 12:33-37 While the capital campaign is official done, there is still more work to be done.

In this episode of The Negotiation podcast, we are joined by Kirsten Johnston, Founder and CEO of JWDK, a brand design firm specializing in cultural and place identity in China. An expert in place branding, Kirsten has consulted for some of the most influential properties in Mainland China. Based in Shanghai, Kirsten also serves as the Vice Chair of BritCham Shanghai.  In our conversation with Kirsten, we get to learn more about her work in place branding for some of China's most notable landmarks. We discuss the importance of understanding human behavior and cultural identity in placemaking and place branding, and the need to adapt international models to fit local contexts. Kirsten also shares case studies of her work with Rockbund, a community space in Shanghai, as well as other projects across Mainland China. We finish our conversation by exploring what makes a great design and some of the mistakes made that result in what she considers poorly designed places. Enjoy!   Topics Discussed and Key Points:●      Place branding.●      The evolution of design and branding. ●      Consumer trends and placemaking.●      Rapid urban development in China and its impact on town planning and real estate investment.●      The creation of "ghost malls" that remain empty in China.●      Xintiandi and al fresco dining in Shanghai.●      Elements that make places work in the physical sense: human scale, intimacy, and walkability.●      Chinese developments and walkability.●      Human behavior in public spaces, the safety zone., and how people maneuver within spaces.●      Shanghai's Rockbund.●      The differences between engaging with Chinese companies and international companies.●      The change in workspace design due to the pandemic.

"But if you look at Generative AI, that is fundamentally a different way that technology came about and it required a lot of investment without knowing what was going to transpire. So I've talked to a couple of people who are affiliated with various top AI labs in China, and I asked them the same question 'Well, why didn't you guys not create this?' And the universal answer was... honestly OpenAI themselves probably had no idea what was going to happen." - Rui Ma   Fresh out of the studio, Rui Ma, China tech analyst and creator of Tech Buzz China, joined us to discuss how the China tech giants are evolving after the regulatory crackdown in the past three years. We start the conversation by examining why China missed the boat on ChatGPT with the tech giants now chasing after the same technology with their own variations. Next, we start to examine the key questions that everyone from the rest of the world wants to know about China tech from the possibility of a Tik Tok ban in the US to Tencent might follow suit from Alibaba in splitting their current conglomerate structure into different companies.   Podcast Information: The show is hosted and produced by Bernard Leong (@bernardleong, Linkedin) and Carol Yin (@CarolYujiaYin, LinkedIn). Proper credits for the intro and end music: "Energetic Sports Drive" and the episode is mixed & edited in both video and audio format by G.Thomas Craig (@gthomascraig, LinkedIn).

The Generative AI News (GAIN) rundown for April 13, 2023, included some breaking news on Amazon Bedrock, the new service competing directly with OpenAI and Microsoft's Azure AI services. We also discussed Twitter's generative AI ambitions, HuggingGPT, a positive generative AI launch from MailChimp and a lackluster implementation by Expedia, OpenAI's bug bounty, the Italy ChatGPT saga, a deepfake of Charles Barkley, Alibab's everything AI bot, and a bit more. Bret Kinsella (that's me) hosted again this week with my Voicebot.ai colleague Eric Schwartz. The top stories in generative AI land this week include: Amazon Takes on OpenAI & Microsoft A multivendor Bedrock approach: Amazon Bedrock now offers easy access to many generative AI models, including AI21 Labs, Anthropic, Stability AI, and Titan. Copilot gets a competitor: Amazon's CodeWhisperer, a text-to-code generator, is now general availability and free. GitHub Copilot may have a market share lead with 400,000 paying subscribers, but free is a good way to accumulate users. Elon Musk Goes Shopping Twitter and Generative AI: Elon Musk has reportedly purchased 10,000 GPUs after he was out recruiting some well-known AI researchers. So, why did he want OpenAI and others to pause their AI research? We'll see. Musk may want Twitter to be an “everything app,” and generative AI would be a key element. Or, he may just want advertisers to have a useful feature. HuggingGPT and Multi-Model Systems Microsoft's latest take on hybrid AI: Microsoft researchers released a paper and a GitHub repository with a new multi-model LLM controller (orchestrator) that can govern access to a variety of AI models for a single interface called HuggingGPT. We will see more of these multi-model services. MailChimp Gets AI Copywriter Building on the core product: MailChimp added AI writing capabilities via an OpenAI integration. It looks like a clean, on-point generative AI feature. There is no extra cost for the feature right now, but at what point will the companies start passing along the model inference costs to users? Expedia Misses the Plot Generating misperception: Expedia also announced some new generative AI features, but it actually only enables you to learn more about hotels and activities. You can't actually book a flight or hotel even though the press release language was cleverly written to suggest there is more there than travel review search. Speaking of search, the new GPT-4-powered Bing not only does a better job of trip planning and research, but it also enables you to book a flight and hotel. Alibaba Goes for Everything A generative cornucopia: Alibaba announced its new generative AI solution. The ChatGPT competitor is called Tongyi Qianwen. It is integrated into the Tmall Genie assistant (i.e., Alibaba's voice assistant), takes meeting notes, writes emails, and creates business documents. It can also help you shop and the company says it supports both Chinese and English. OpenAI Bug$ Out Crowdsourcing security vulnerabilities: OpenAI launched a new Bug Bounty program which will pay out between $200 - $20,000 to developers that find “vulnerabilities, bugs, or security flaws.” This follows OpenAI's highly publicized security vulnerability and subsequent investigations by privacy regulators in Italy and Canada. FanDuel Goes Deep A young Charles Barkley pitches sports gambling: FanDuel has a new commercial that includes a real-life Charles Barkley and a deepfake of his younger self. Deepfakes are becoming mainstream. Or, maybe they already are. The show was originally broadcast live on YouTube and LinkedIn, and we also added it to the Voicebot Podcast for your convenience. You can see the video here on YouTube. 

Are you an entrepreneur looking to expand your business and find new suppliers? In this episode, Sebastian Herz from Zignify joins Matt to talk all things product sourcing. Tune in to discover how to source products for your website, common mistakes to avoid while sourcing products globally and save millions of dollars on your product purchasing cost. Whether you're just starting out in eCommerce or have a business already, you won't want to miss this episode of the eCommerce Podcast .ABOUT SEBASTIAN:Sebastian Herz is an eCommerce expert with a wealth of experience dating back to 2014. He has successfully launched two brands that are now available in popular retail outlets such as Kaufland, Globus, Rewe and Saturn, and has sold over 500,000 products across various platforms including Amazon, Shopify and Retail. Sebastian not only helps other sellers source high-quality products, but also guides them through the process of reaching wider audiences, including TV shopping and Big Box Retail.Here's a summary of the great stuff that we cover in this show:Sebastian started his career in industrial automation and decided to start his own business after 12 years of working. He started sourcing his own products in China and eventually began helping other brands with their sourcing needs through word of mouth. Zignify Global Product Sourcing has now helped thousands of sellers get their brands ready for sale.If you are a new in ecommerce, before sourcing products for your online business, you need to decide whether you want to focus on making a profit or building a brand from the heart. You should also figure out where you want to source products from and decide whether you want to learn the process yourself or outsource it.Sebastian explains that the bigger the niche, the more competitors you will have, while digging deeper into a smaller niche can result in higher prices but require more certifications. Finding the right place to sell your product is key, just having a website is not enough, and knowing how to attract customers is crucial.For existing brands, Zignify helps find additional products that can be sourced, potentially from outside of China, to improve sales and reduce costs, particularly for top selling products, which can result in significant savings for a business. The focus is on quality while also increasing revenue and bottom line savings.When sourcing products globally, it's important to contact multiple producers, compare prices, and do quality control on your samples and mass production. It's also crucial to check the background of the suppliers to ensure they are legitimate producers and not trading companies, as well as speak the local language for effective communication.When sourcing products, common mistakes include not getting enough proposals, not checking quality control enough, and not having enough patience when sourcing outside of China where there is no Alibaba. It may take multiple attempts to contact potential suppliers, and smaller potential customers may be overlooked by suppliers who prioritize larger customers.For complete show notes, transcript and links to our guest, check out our website: www.ecommerce-podcast.com.

En la última década, China se ha convertido en la potencia del mundo del e-Commerce. Dispone de productos a precios competitivos. Es un país fundamental en la producción de muchos de los artículos que se compran y consumen en el mundo entero y por eso las importaciones de China son un eje clave del comercio global. Para no perder esta oportunidad y comercializar sin cometer errores, en este episodio invitamos a Cristian Rodríguez, que es empresario y experto en importaciones desde China para América Latina, con más de 9 años de experiencia. La idea de importar desde China se ve abrumadora, pero no debe ser motivo para detenernos, ya que abrir las puertas de nuestra empresa al comercio internacional brinda una enorme ventaja competitiva. “El problema del latino es que se enfoca en las exigencias para importar y no lo hace; y esa es la ventaja que toma el gran empresario. Constituye su empresa, cumple con las reglas y comienza a importar sin límites. Y eso le permite apalancarse”, remarca nuestro invitado. Uno de los consejos que nos da Cristian para facilitar la importación es evitar la cadena de intermediarios para que el producto llegue hasta la puerta de nuestro negocio y aprender a hacer la negociación directamente con la fábrica de China. “Es una ventaja que muy pocas personas la están aprovechando”, asegura Cristian. Y eso se logra con relaciones a largo plazo. “Podemos manejar una negociación siempre y cuando tengamos una proyección. Puedo decir que compren 25, 100 o 200 unidades para comenzar, pero lo que debemos hacer en la negociación es manejar una proyección anual, es decir, decirles que hoy quieres comprar por un monto e informarles que tu proyección anual de compra con ellos va a ser mayor. En base a eso pedimos que nos den un excelente precio, sin afectarnos la calidad”, desarrolla nuestro especialista. Para los que se inician en este mundo de las importaciones desde China, deben hacer una investigación previa para traer los productos a su país, evitando así ser estafados o tener que lidiar con obstáculos durante el camino del traslado de los artículos. “Nosotros hacemos una investigación previa de la documentación que vamos a ocupar por ese producto que vamos a importar desde China. Hay expertos en aduana que te hacen todo el proceso”, comenta Cristian, y agrega: “Lo que tienes que hacer antes de comprar es conseguir todo lo que te solicitan en aduana para que cuando el producto llegue a tu país no te lo retengan”. Para validar las empresas con las que vamos a trabajar, podemos optar por el asesoramiento de agencias y profesionales que nos pueden indicar si las compañías chinas tienen todos los papeles en regla. “Pero también lo podemos validar nosotros a través de Alibaba, donde podemos ver si el proveedor o fábrica hace exportaciones a Estados Unidos o Europa. Si es así, significa que tiene un certificado de calidad, porque estos países lo exigen y eso nos puede garantizar que es un producto de alta calidad”, enseña nuestro invitado. Para verificar las formas de pago seguras, existe el programa Trade Assurance del mismo Alibaba. De esta manera, todas las transacciones están protegidas por medidas de privacidad y seguridad. Esto es muy importante porque evita que las cuentas bancarias y otra información confidencial se vean comprometidas. Además, este mecanismo de pago es rápido, por lo que las transferencias de dinero se pueden procesar en tan sólo 2 horas. “El pago puede ser a través de transferencia bancaria, siempre que hayamos validado que la cuenta bancaria esté a nombre de la empresa y certificada en China. Si lo hacemos a través de tarjeta de crédito o débito podemos elegir el método seguro que tiene Alibaba, que es el Trade Assurance, que tiene un costo”, describe nuestro invitado. Por otro lado, Cristian recomienda que toda la conversación de negociación no la manejemos por fuera del sitio de Alibaba, sino a través del chat de la plataforma, ya que “tiene valor legal, queda guardada y no se puede borrar”: “Si el vendedor no cumple, podemos abrir una disputa en Alibaba, hacemos captura de todo el chat y en un término de 10 días nos regresan el dinero”, asevera nuestro especialista. Si bien como compradores queremos la entrega en el menor tiempo posible, hay que tener en claro que la distancia influye mucho en la fecha de llegada de los productos. “Ellos suelen tardar de 10 a 30 días para preparar los productos y eso va a depender de la cantidad que vayamos a comprar. El proceso de envío te puede tardar entre 50 y 60 días”, cuenta Cristian. Como consejo final, nuestro invitado nos sugiere enfocarnos “en un solo producto que tenga un alto margen de ganancia”: “Te vas a dar a conocer en tu mercado porque estás importando ese producto y lo puedes vender como mayorista si tienes un excelente margen de ganancia. Además vas a empezar a agarrar contactos y eso te va a fortalecer, porque en el mundo de los negocios lo que valen son las relaciones. Hay personas que hoy importan una cosa y mañana otra y son personas inestables que se dejan llevar por la emoción. Debemos enfocarnos para poder crear reputación en el mercado y poder conocer a gente de aduana, el trámite, medir los términos, etc.”, cierra Cristian.
