Did you know that according to a report by the World Economic Forum, 85 million jobs might be displaced by machines in the next five years? But, did you also know that 97 million new roles may emerge that are more adapted to the new division of labor between humans, machines, and algorithms? That's a lot of job reshuffling! As the lines between human jobs and technology blur, it raises a critical question: In an era of AI and algorithms, how can corporations ensure they're not just hiring, but hiring the right humans? The statistics make it clear: As machines take over a plethora of tasks, the intrinsic human qualities—like emotional intelligence, adaptability, and creative problem-solving—are becoming more invaluable than ever. So, how do we navigate this delicate balance between embracing tech advancements and preserving the human essence of our organizations? On this episode of the Career PROgressions Podcast, renowned talent-attraction specialist, speaker, and consultant, Craig Fisher, is going to draw from his Amazon #1 best-selling book Hiring Humans and 25-years of experience in talent acquisition to help you understand the current hiring landscape better and adopt a more human approach to your job search.

In this edition of Locked on Capitals Dan talks about Matt Dumba's hit on Evgeny Kuznetsov. RMNB - "Dumba caught Kuznetsov in the left shoulder with the hit and then followed through into his head, sending the Russian centerman careening toward the ice." The question now is what the hit dirty and does Dumba deserve supplemental discipline? Later Dan talks about the injury to Darcy Kuemper. Darcy played the entire game against the St Louis blues so it's hard to say if it happened during the game and he played through it, or was he injured after the game somehow? When can we expect Darcy to return. Later in the show Dan talks about two players in Hershey that could help the Washington Capitals right now. Nova Caps - "Connor McMichael scored his 14th goal of the season early in the first period and Ethen Frank added his 27th goal of the season and second goal in as many nights. Frank now has the most goals by a Bears rookie since Craig Fisher (43) during the 1990-91 season. Frank's goal was also the game-winner." It's my belief that once that Caps are mathematically eliminated they should give them their opportunity, if not before.Talk Caps hockey one on one with me : https://joinsubtext.com/lockedoncapitalsSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

Hey, it's Craig Fisher. I am here with Michelle Thompson. She is the head of sourcing at Uber. And she is a longtime friend and colleague and collaborator. Michelle will be appearing at TalentNet Live and TheCandE's conference Nov. 2-3 in DFW. Register https://insde.co/78rj And we're glad to have you here with us, Michelle, how are you? Excellent. Thanks for having me. So, tell us a little bit about what's going on in your role currently, and what issues your team is seeing and how you're tackling? Yeah. So we've been going through kind of a reinvention for lack of a better term here at Uber for the past few years, I've been here for two and a half now. came over to build the sourcing space for tech, and then switched over to build the sourcing space for non tech. And one of the things that we're really seeing with all these interesting ups and downs and post great resignation, and all of this is that our candidate attraction strategy has to be way more focused, while at the same town way more diverse than it's ever been in the past. So part of the things that I'm working on are where does the talent that we won't really live in each of our verticals? And how are we going to attract them? And how are we going to sell the story of why Uber Uber, as you know, is a global company with a lot of reach. They're one of the companies that definitely came out of out of COVID. You know, stronger, faster better than before. So though our, our needs have shifted their continuous. So it's been a really interesting model. I think when I came on board, they had literally just shuttered all the all of the offices and kind of screeched everything to a halt. And what they didn't realize was within 30 days, the Uber Eats side of the business will just explode. I think the first two months I was here, they added 34,000 restaurants to the platform. And then since then, we've added about 18 different variations of what we can do with that model. So Uber, pharmacy and grocery delivery and liquor delivery and all these other pieces. Uber freight has been huge for us. But that keeps me on my toes as far as how that messaging gets out to reach that group of candidates that not only has the skill set that has the desire to come and work with a company that is in continuous flux.

Jim Durbin is the Director of Recruitment marketing for PSG Global, a company that I've got a lot of experience with. He is also known, suspiciously, as the Indeed whisperer. In this episode we talk recruitment marketing, job advertising, job boards, your process and how it affects your job ad conversion rate, and many other things that you're probably thinking about, but don't even know you should be on top of. Indeed has made tracking and converting candidates all the way through your process slightly trickier with the addition of Indeed Apply and the move to get most traffic flowing through that system. But is that the best way to track and convert candidates? Maybe not. Jim and I discuss your options and all the things that can get in the way of low CPA's and high apply conversions of the right candidates.

In this episode Craig talks with Jenny Cotie Kangas, Director of Digital Experience for Talent Acquisition at Regis Corporation - the largest hair salon chain in the world which owns brands like Supercuts, SmartStyle, Cost Cutters, First Choice Haircutters, Roosters, and many more. Jenny is a rare hybrid in the recruiting world. She describes herself like this: "My professional tool belt doesn't look like many others. It's comprised of a variety of tools, added and sharpened through years as a Project Consultant. I'm a Program Manager but by all other standards, I'm a builder. As a kid, learning came hard for me. To understand what came easy to my peers I would identify patterns and reverse engineer. This helped my “faster than normal” brain understand and learn. From an early age, I viewed the world through systems. Having this mindset resulted in me being able to move learning to mastery quickly. I became known as the girl in the project world you'd call if you didn't have a person with the necessary skill set for a role. “She's the Purple- Sparkly-Unicorn-Utility Tool and sharp as a tack,” a former Recruiter explained to a hiring manager, “She might not have the background today, but she will learn it and quick.” In October 2019 I was challenged to apply my systems brain to a new world. My insurance company had not given me enough money post water damage to finish my home. I had a couple of options - pay the extra money to finish the house or sell as-is. I went with option three and picked up an actual tool-belt. Single mom with three kids - I learned construction and personally rebuilt my house from the studs out. These days you'll find me during the week focused on building frictionless processes and systems. Outside of work, you'll find me in an actual tool-belt, finishing my house and helping others to learn the trades." Jenny and Craig discuss -designing outcomes with your audience in mind -Store-level hiring -Franchisees and how to get them to understand hiring, what's the story for that? -Failing fast and failing forward -Design bias, when you go into a situation to help but those you are helping are pre-disposed to think anyone from "corporate" isn't helpful. -Solving hard, non-linear problems -The concept of the mirror and window in hiring -How to avoid basing recruiting on what we've traditionally done -How to avoid shrinking your guardrails -How to condense user adoption from 3 days to 15 minutes -The power of a "what if?" It's always fun when Jenny and Craig get together for a chat. This is a good one.

Craig Fisher and Carrie Corcoran of TalentNet Media break down a recent project to fix funnel recruitment marketing for a major retail distribution center.

How do you amplify a transparent, non-friction employer brand? You need to show your benefits right up front. We talk title and geographic expansions, opening of social channels and niche job boards, and more.
