In a world increasingly dominated by AI-powered recruiting tools, the human touch of employee referrals might just be your organization's secret weapon. Mike Stafiej, CEO and founder of ERIN, joins Bill Banham on the HRchat Show to reveal how properly implemented employee referral programs drive five times more hires while cutting turnover in half."Employee referrals is not a new concept," Mike acknowledges, "but if you grab your average employee and say, 'Hey, do you know how much you can earn for referring to this job?' they're going to have no idea what you're talking about." This lack of transparency and cumbersome administrative processes have traditionally hampered what should be one of recruiting's most powerful channels. The ERIN platform tackles these challenges by automating everything from submission to payment, handling complex global policies across different countries, currencies, and business units.Organizations using ERIN's approach see dramatic increases in referral participation, explains Mike, from initial adoption rates around 20% to as high as 80% over time. This means tapping into employees who were previously disengaged from talent acquisition efforts. Gamification plays a crucial role in this transformation, bringing "smaller, faster rewards earlier into the process" to counteract the typically lengthy referral timeline. Employees earn points for actions like sharing jobs on social media or logging into the app, creating immediate gratification rather than waiting months for a referral to complete the hiring process.Perhaps most fascinating is Mike's perspective on how employee referrals will evolve alongside AI recruiting tools. As both employers and candidates increasingly leverage AI in the hiring process, we're moving "from a world where 60 applications per job is acceptable to one where you'll have 10,000 applications per hire." In this noise-filled environment, employee referrals maintain the critical human element at scale, providing pre-vetted candidates who already understand the company culture.Support the showFeature Your Brand on the HRchat PodcastThe HRchat show has had 100,000s of downloads and is frequently listed as one of the most popular global podcasts for HR pros, Talent execs and leaders.

In this episode, Bill Banham talks with Marina Farthouat, the new Vice President, People at Oyster - the global employment platform that enables companies to hire, pay, and care for distributed teams. Marina brings a refreshing perspective to the HRchat Show about transforming workplace norms through remote and distributed teams. Drawing from her diverse background spanning investment banking to startups, Marina shares why her most connected workplace experiences have consistently been in remote organizations."Talent doesn't have a nationality," Marina asserts, challenging traditional location-based hiring approaches. She makes a compelling case for distributed teams as both a talent strategy and a resilience measure. When recent blackouts hit Spain and Portugal, Oyster's globally distributed workforce demonstrated exactly this kind of operational continuity—shifting activities seamlessly to unaffected regions.What makes Marina's perspective particularly valuable is her holistic view of remote work benefits. Beyond the usual flexibility talking points, she highlights how remote arrangements positively impact families, especially children who no longer lose parents to long commutes. She dismantles the myth that remote workers feel disconnected, explaining how digital platforms actually create more egalitarian access to leadership and information than traditional office environments where proximity matters.The conversation tackles economic concerns head-on, addressing fears that global hiring simply shifts jobs to lower-cost regions. Marina offers a more nuanced view: global talent acquisition isn't about replacement but expansion and resilience. She emphasizes that startups particularly benefit from access to diverse talent pools while managing burn rates effectively.By the way, if you enjoy this conversation and want to learn more about Marina's team and some of the people challenges they tackle, check out episode 338 with Oyster Co-founder Jack Mardack.Marina leads the company's people strategy with a focus on building a human-centric, inclusive, and sustainable culture across a global workforce.She brings a wealth of experience leading People functions in remote organizations, most recently at ClickHouse and Elastic.

Employer Branding vs Employee Experience: What Attracts Top Talent in 2025?In this episode of The Lunchtime Series, Kevin Britz and co-host Craig Page-Lee explore the critical differences between employer branding, employee engagement, and the employee value proposition (EVP). They unpack why employer branding is no longer a luxury—but a necessity—and how aligning purpose and values can make or break your talent strategy.From Google and Apple to your own company culture, this episode delivers insights grounded in real-time business dynamics, talent trends, and strategic recruitment approaches. Whether you're an HR leader, executive, or employer brand strategist—this conversation is essential listening.

Join CXR's Chris Hoyt (he/him) as he catches up with John Graham of Shaker Recruitment Marketing to discuss Employer Branding, DEI, & "Manufactured Chaos."

In this episode of the Hiring Excellence Podcast, Johnny Campbell speaks with Bryan Adams, founder of HappyDance and author of Give & Get Employer Branding. Together, they explore how the best employer brand strategies don't just reflect culture, they shape it. Bryan explains why focusing on skills isn't enough, how capability-driven hiring unlocks business performance, and how a world-class EVP bridges today's reality with tomorrow's ambition. This episode is packed with fresh thinking on brand, culture, and leadership alignment.

In this insightful podcast episode, host Peter Lyle sits down with John Williamson, a senior content consultant at LinkedIn, to delve into the powerful impact of employer branding on organizational success. The discussion centers around how a strong employer brand not only attracts top talent but also enhances market positioning and customer engagement. John explains that at its core, employer branding is about creating a fun and engaging work environment where employees feel valued and connected to the company's mission and culture.Throughout the conversation, they explore the alignment of internal employee engagement with external brand perception, emphasizing that leadership's authenticity and commitment to a clear set of values are crucial to fostering a positive workplace culture. John highlights the importance of measurable metrics—such as employee engagement scores, retention rates, and participation in advocacy programs—to gauge the effectiveness of employer branding initiatives. Drawing on examples like LinkedIn's own strategies and the legendary craftsmanship at Rolls Royce, he illustrates how shared values and consistent communication create enduring organizational success.The episode also addresses challenges in today's fluctuating work environment, suggesting that regular one-on-one check-ins, open communication channels, and even simple gestures like saying “thank you” are vital tools for re-engaging a disillusioned workforce. Finally, the discussion touches on contemporary issues, including diversity, equality, and inclusion, affirming that these remain indispensable aspects of a robust employer brand.Key Points:Definition & Importance: Employer branding is about creating an engaging work culture that attracts top talent and drives business success.Alignment of Culture & Strategy: Effective employer branding requires synchronizing internal cultural initiatives with external brand messaging, leveraging leadership, HR, and marketing.Measurement & Engagement: Key metrics like employee satisfaction, retention, and advocacy programs are essential to assess and boost the effectiveness of employer branding efforts.Authentic Communication: Regular check-ins, transparent leadership, and acknowledging employee contributions are critical in maintaining a healthy workplace atmosphere.

In this eye-opening conversation, assessment expert Dr. Deborah Kerr dives into why the science of hiring remains "broken" despite decades of research and how validated assessment tools can transform results.Dr. Kerr reveals startling statistics: managers get hiring decisions wrong approximately 80% of the time, according to Gallup research, with human cognitive biases being the primary culprit. Your brain's natural tendencies toward confirmation bias, overconfidence, and anchoring on first impressions sabotage objective decision-making in ways most hiring managers never recognize.Perhaps most surprisingly, many common hiring practices lack scientific validity. Experience as indicated on resumes shows almost no correlation with future job performance. Those "years of experience required" in your job descriptions? Research suggests they're nearly worthless as predictors of success.What actually works? Validated, predictive assessments that measure cognitive ability (the strongest predictor across all jobs), followed by personality traits and work culture fit. When these assessments form the foundation of a structured hiring process - complete with targeted interview questions and job simulations - organizations experience dramatically better outcomes.For HR professionals, this episode, hosted by Career Club's Bob Goodwin, provides actionable insights to transform hiring processes, reduce costly turnover, and make the business case for evidence-based hiring practices. The technical knowledge exists - now it's time to close the research-practice gap and revolutionize how we match people to jobs.Support the showFeature Your Brand on the HRchat PodcastThe HRchat show has had 100,000s of downloads and is frequently listed as one of the most popular global podcasts for HR pros, Talent execs and leaders.

He pulls no punches discussing the need for HR to stop identifying as cost centers and start demonstrating real business impact. Chad emphasizes. "Nothing happens without human beings doing the jobs. We are the beating heart of every organization."The conversation tackles veteran hiring initiatives, where Chad distinguishes between companies seeking actual outcomes versus those merely checking diversity boxes. This extends to his candid assessment of recent DEI program rollbacks.Looking toward the future, Chad warns about "vaporware" in HR tech – over-promised technologies that can't deliver.

The traditional approach to developing employer value propositions can often be complex and time-consuming. While this in-depth methodology might work well for large, complex organizations, many employers invest months or even years in exhaustive research and complex frameworks only to often end up with EVPs that sound remarkably similar to their competitors. At the same time, there's growing pressure to activate employer brands quickly to address immediate talent needs, leaving organizations vulnerable to missed opportunities if they get caught in endless cycles of research and refinement. So, how can companies develop distinctive EVPs that genuinely differentiate them while moving quickly enough to address urgent talent challenges? My guest this week is Sam Monteath, founder of research and insights consultancy Reason Why, a research and insights consultancy. Sam shares valuable insights on how organizations can take a more agile approach to EVPs, avoiding the bloat and unnecessary complexity that often characterizes these projects.

Does your EVP attract potential employees or push them away? Is it a bad thing if it DOES repell people? You want your EVP to help you attract the RIGHT people. EVP was the focus of a fantastic conversation with Bryan Adams of Happy Dance. Not Bryan Adams the singer of course. Our Bryan recently left the role of CEO of Ph.Creative which is an Employer Brand agency. He has written a few books - the most relevant of which is 'Give and Get: Repel the Many and Compel the Few'. He has consulted to the likes of Apple and many others so he knows what he is talking about. We had a fantastic conversation during which I was actually surprised (the video below). And delighted. These are some of the insights that delighted me and hopefully will delight you: ‼️ EVPs should be authentic - AND aspirational??
