More recently, Mike was Chief Marketing Officer and GM at Entelo, a recruiting software company, and Chief Operating Officer at cloud file sharing vendor, Hightail (formerly YouSendIt), which was acquired by OpenText.

Maybe we should have named this episode Three Acquisitions and a Vendor Moving to Crazy Town? Remember the '80s movie "Three Men and a Baby"? This episode could be called "Three Acquisitions and a Vendor Who's Lost Their Damned Mind!" Silkroad Technologies acquired Entelo, Harver bought pymetrics and Mitratech gobbled up TalentReef. Can you guess which acquisition we like? Gotta listen. Then we take a trip to Crazy Town, where old-timey job distribution service provider eQuest has made the mother of all pivots, and the boys can't quite make sense of it (but want a hit of whatever they're smoking'). Oh, and Home Depot ends the show with a bit of sanity and common sense. Enjoy!

Many organizations recognize the importance of being diverse, equitable, and inclusive (DEI), but don't know how to motivate everyone to work together to make that a reality. In this episode, Lily Zheng shares about her career as an organizational consultant, executive coach, author, and design researcher who works with organizations to create healthy, inclusive, and innovative workplaces. We learn about her advocacy work as a student and administrator at Stanford University, and hear her perspective on questions including:How do you respond when people lament that diverse hires "lower the bar"?How can new organizations invest in institutionalized resources that match the size and responsibilities of their organization as it scales? Most media coverage of DEI is about DEI fails. What do you think are the most impactful practices that we should be celebrating?More about Lily Zheng: Zheng is a coauthor of Gender Ambiguity in the Workplace and The Ethical Sellout, she has written for dozens of media outlets, including the New York Times, Quartz at Work, Entrepreneur, and Psychology Today.

Entelo, a leader in recruiting automation and sourcing, recently announced a new feature called Unbiased Sourcing Mode, allowing companies to anonymize and hide information recruiters or hiring managers don’t want to see in an effort to eliminate unconscious bias based on irrelevant factors.

Lariel Powell, Enterprise Sales Development Rep at Entelo, didn’t just play Division One basketball – she lived it. She joins the Hiring On All Cylinders team to talk about what it’s like to be an athlete at the collegiate level, her transition into a professional career, and her tips and tricks for recruiters looking to tap into a vast resource of driven individuals.
The boys recorded this week's show on Veteran's Day in the U.S., so vet recruiting is top-of-mind. Considering Chad is an Army Vet, how could it not? CareerBuilder is partnering with this vet site, and rumors that Monster is making changes to Military.com abound. On to other matters, LinkedIn continues to kickass and take names with a new integration with Microsoft Word. The move should have job sites, and even Google shaking in their New Balances. The company is also making Glassdoor a little nervous with a recent move. Lastly, tons of news items, so the guys go a little rapid fire to cover stories from Sourceress, Entelo and Jobs2Careers' ipply. There's also new research on what kind of videos you should be making to recruit. They end with a PSA that you shouldn't do this to the president. As always, show our sponsors a little love. That's an order! Sovren, America's Job Exchange and Ratedly make it all happen.
Britt and Sean head to the airwaves to give a brief rundown of how Day 2 at HR Tech went (it was a doozy!). We'll hear snippets from three of our guests as the Entelo and Hiring On All Cylinders crew prepares for an evening of happy hours and after parties. Cheers!
What a week. LinkedIn's annual event took place in Nashville, Tennessee and it was an opportunity for them to drop a big ol' poop sandwich in the lunch boxes of job boards and ATSs everywhere. Listen to learn why. And speaking of ATSs, Chad thinks they're all being royally stupid for playing nice with a certain professional network owned by Microsoft. At least Entelo is doing it right, and the boys discuss how this company is embracing A.I. to help put sourcers out of business. Agree or disagree? We don't really care. Moving on. Slack – and is there ever a show where we don't talk about Slack – has partnered up with Oracle, the granddaddy of softwares and it could be an omen of things to come for the messenger app valued at $5.whatever billion. By the way, Oracle and Salesforce are arch enemies, so that probably lessens the chance they'll be in the market to buy Slack. The boys close the show with one of the oddest news items ever in the employment space. Furniture store IKEA has purchased TaskRabbit, which sort of reminds us of Best Buy buying Geek Squad back in the day. Someone's got to put that furniture together! As always, visit out sponsors: Ratedly, Sovren and America's Job Exchange. They keep the beer cold.
Jon joins Britt to go over Entelo Envoy and the new wave of AI driven automation. One of the major insights? Recruiting is moving towards technology, and is empowering recruiters to focus on the most important aspect of their job: connecting with candidates. With Entelo Envoy, the end result is interested candidates in your inbox.
One of Entelo’s own engineers, Kelly Hale, joins Hiring On All Cylinders team members Britt Ryan and Amina Moinuddin to discuss engineering culture and the power of employee referrals.
Jill Witty, Vice-President, Talent & Operations, oversees People and Business operations at Entelo. Witty also steers Entelo’s social impact work and created Hiring For Good (www.entelo.com/philanthropy), Entelo’s one-to-one model for giving back to the community. With 15 years of experience, Witty shares her talent thought leadership and expertise at national conferences, on podcasts, and via the Entelo blog (http://blog.entelo.com/author/jill-witty). Witty actively volunteers with Stride Center, Glide, 10,000 Degrees, and SF Marin Food Bank. Prior to Entelo, Witty founded three business to consumer companies. Witty holds a B.A. from Yale and an M.B.A from UCLA.
What started out as a slow week certainly turned up as time passed. Entelo received $20 million in funding, and the boys discuss what's really behind all the money flowing into A.I. Can you say “land grab”? Amazon, yes, that Amazon is rumored to be bidding on Slack to the tune of $9 billion. That's with a “b” folks. McDonald's is looking to hire 250,000 employees this season in the U.S. and are going to rely on Snapchat to fill a few of those positions. The bet is sure to make competitors stand-up and take notice. Snaplications are officially a thing now. Indeed has officially launched Career Pages in an attempt to appeal to small businesses, and at least one of the boys has a guess on where the company is going next. The show welcomes a new advertiser this week. A big welcome to Wonscore by Wonderlic. Check 'em out (there's an exclusive deal). And keep going to current sponsors America's Job Exchange and Beyond.com/cheddar.
Time for something completely different. One of my favorite industry podcasts is Hiring On All Cylinders produced by the lovely people at Entelo. This week, in the interests of friendly podcast co-operation, I’m doing a podcast exchange with them. I’m interviewed in the latest episode of Hiring On All Cylinders, talking about my new book and everything I’ve learned from interviewing all my wonderful podcast guests. Meanwhile on this week’s Recruiting Future Podcast my guest is Jill Witty, VP of Talent and Operations at Entelo. Jill has helped the company scale up from 7 employees to a 120 employees and has some fascinating insights into the modern world of Talent Acquisition. In the interview we discuss: • Innovative recruiting approaches • Diversifying talent pools at the top of the funnel • Establishing a compelling and competitive employer brand • Values based recruiting that focuses on culture add rather than culture fit Jill also gives us her take on the future of talent acquisition technology and in particular the potential role of artificial intelligence in recruiting.

Loni, who works for a company that deals in recruitment technology, discusses how she builds CS teams, and what she looks for in a new recruit. She explores how to build a Customer Success organization, the various roles you should introduce as you scale, and how to make smart decisions about who to add and when.
This week, the Bowery Capital team hosted Allison Metcalfe, VP of Customer Success at LiveRamp, to discuss “Cohort Analysis for Customer Success.” LiveRamp is a marketing data company that unifies customer data across disparate sources. Large brands use LiveRamp’s identify resolution capabilities to drive true omnichannel marketing at new levels of accuracy and efficacy. At LiveRamp, as well as in previous roles, Allison has explored the full spectrum of analyses a customer success leader can use to track the health of a customer base to increase retention, upsells, referrals, and healthy customer-product engagement overall. Today, she joins us to discuss the importance of cohort analysis as it applies to the customer success function. Cohort analysis is a quantitative exercise that companies can use to understand how metrics trends differ between various comparable groupings. It can be used across various functions within an organization, such as sales and finance. Sales analysts, for example, commonly use a form of cohort analysis to measure close rates (or other conversion rates through the sales funnel) and sales cycles (time-to-close). By breaking up deals into groups or “cohorts” consisting of the opportunities created in a particular month, we can see how the effectiveness of our sales team is changing over time. Cohort analysis is equally critical for customer success: not only for proper measurement of churn, but also for other customer health metrics. We’ll learn how Allison has used cohort analysis and similar exercise to optimize CS performance at LiveRamp, and how any startup stakeholder can do the same. Allison Metcalfe is the VP of Customer Success at LiveRamp, where she has worked over over 3 years. LiveRamp is based in San Francisco and employs over 300 FTEs. The company is a subsidiary of Acxiom, which acquired the business in 2014 for a reported $310MM. Prior to that, she served as the Senior Director of Customer Success at Demandbase, where she spent two years. She also brings experience from earlier customer success roles at Jigsaw (now Data.com, acquired by SalesForce) and Equilar. She also serves as a customer success advisor to Entelo. Allison holds a BA from the University of St. Thomas.

On paper, the hiring process appears fairly straightforward: read applications, interview, hire top talent, and then rinse and repeat … right? Well, not exactly. The thing is, the conventional hiring process is broken -- and Jon Bischke, CEO of Entelo, has made it his mission to mend it. In this episode, Jon schools us on the top mistakes managers make in the hiring process and the tactics you can employ to be better at recruiting the right talent to grow your team.
HR Happy Hour 241 - Tackling Recruiting Challenges with Modern HR Technology Recorded Wednesday March 23, 2016 Hosts: Steve Boese, Trish McFarlane Guest: Jon Bischke, CEO and Founder, Entelo This week on the HR Happy Hour Show, Trish and Steve are joined by Jon Bischke, CEO and Founder of Entelo, a leading provider of innovative HR and recruiting technology solutions that help organizations find and assess talent as well as help them improve the diversity of their talent pools and pipelines. Entelo technology helps organizations not only unearth candidates by building comprehensive candidate profiles that are far more complete than what can be found on a simple resume or LinkedIn profile, but it also enables organizations to spend their limited time and resources focusing on learning more about the very best candidates. Entelo has innovated in the area of diversity, and has built what are the industry's first set of solutions explicitly designed to help organizations enhance and expand the diversity of their candidate pools. Listen to the show to learn more about how Tech can help HR leaders in this important area. Additionally, Steve lamented the fact that resumes still are not dead as yet., we pitched (once again) the impending Diet Dr. Pepper show sponsorship, and the idea of recruiting for 'Culture Add' instead of 'culture fit'. This was an interesting and informative show with one of the HR and recruiting technology industry's most innovative leaders, many thanks to Jon and Entelo for joining us. Reminder, you can find and subscribe to the show on iTunes or any major podcast app for iOS and Android - just search for 'HR Happy Hour' to add the show to your playlist.
