Welcome to Reimagining Company Culture, a series discussing emerging trends and priorities shaping the future of workplace culture and employee wellbeing. We highlight thought leaders who are constantly evolving their strategy and can provide insight to folks about how to address new business challenges.  AllVoices is on a mission to create safe, happy, and healthy workplaces for all, and we're excited to learn from experts who share our mission.  In this episode of Reimagining Company Culture, we're chatting with Tia Smith, Vice President of Talent at Collaborative Solutions. She is an experienced and innovative certified Human Capital Strategist with the ability to translate business vision into HR initiatives that improve performance, sustain growth, and foster employee engagement.   Tune in to learn Tia's thoughts on resetting values, incorporating values into onboarding and sales collateral, leveraging employee feedback, and more!About AllVoices In today's workforce, people often don't feel empowered to speak up and voice their opinions about workplace issues, including harassment, bias, and other culture issues. This prevents company leadership from making necessary changes, and prevents people from feeling fulfilled, recognized, and included at work. At AllVoices, we want to change that by providing a completely safe, anonymous way for people to report issues directly to company leaders. This allows company leadership real transparency into what's happening in their companies—and the motivation to address issues quickly. Our goal is to help create safer, more inclusive companies.

Robert (Bob) Blumenthal is an Independent Human Capital Consultant who consults for companies and investor funds on everything related to people and talent acquisition. He has over two decades of experience in leading C-suite talent acquisition and human capital strategy, and has recruited senior executives and board members for major corporations and private equity and venture-funded companies within the industrial, consumer, retail, healthcare, and technology industries. Before this, Bob began his career in sales and marketing at IBM Corporation where he was a platform speaker and motivational marketer. As a branch manager, Bob ran the number one branch in the United States for AT&T Data Systems Division. He then became the president of New Jersey's premier consulting firm where he coached senior executives on career strategy. Later on, he assumed partner and leadership roles at two of the world's premier executive search firms. Bob has 8+ years of experience leading human capital for control investors, including a private equity fund, and a large family office. In this episode… There are so many things to consider when you're on the market for the perfect candidate, and not everyone knows how to filter through the list of individuals who are submitting their application. So what exactly should companies be on the lookout for when choosing the right candidate? And what value can the right talent acquisition strategy bring to their company? Bob Blumenthal has a wealth of experience in recruiting C-suite talent and has coached and led senior executives into understanding their company's needs as far as their human capital and career strategies go. He has helped organizations find the right person for the chair by using strategies to match candidates with the roles that needed to be filled. And he is the person that you want to be talking to if you want to find the right people for your company. In this episode of the Level Up podcast, Nick Araco sits down with talent acquisition and human capital strategist, Robert (Bob) Blumenthal, to discuss key metrics of the recruiting process and why companies need to have these nailed down. Bob talks about the best psychometric tools for acquisition and matching, why candidates should be able to demonstrate their problem-solving skills and how these align with company needs, and his best practices for hiring and interviewing candidates.

Why is the candidate experience so important? Mike Sipple Jr's guest on the Talent Magnet Leadership Podcast, Kevin Grossman, shares the answer in this week's episode. Kevin is the current President and Board Member at The Talent Board. He is a certified Talent Acquisition Strategist, and a Human Capital Strategist with over twenty years experience. In this must listen conversation, Kevin dives deep with Mike into why leaders should care about candidate experience, and the impact it has on our organizations. Kevin shares that The Talent Board was created to carry out survey research on companies' performance and give them awards based on their ratings. It's also about getting benchmark data for them to understand what their strengths and weaknesses are based on the feedback from candidates who were not hired. [1:36] There are four key metrics that make up Kevin's audit: the overall rating from candidates, how likely candidates are to apply again, how likely they are to refer the company to others, and what kind of relationship the candidates intend to have with the company going forward. “Application finalists are willing to refer if they perceive everything was fair and they have positive sentiment,” Kevin tells Mike. [5:12] Leaders should focus on creating positive and fair experiences for candidates during the application process, including communicating feedback to finalists who are rejected. This contributes to higher positive ratings. [9:25] Leaders need to take candidate experience seriously because many candidates become future clients depending on how we made them feel, and how we treated them. [16:27] As our businesses and organizations grow, we need to scale and invest in automation. During the application process this means that we need to have a system to quickly sift out applicants who don't fit the criteria of what we're looking for. [17:34] The candidate resentment rate, where candidates express no desire to work with a particular employer again due to a poor experience, plummeted in 2020. Kevin shares that this was due to employers and companies being pushed into a forced level of transparency. This transparency, coupled with continuous empathetic communication, garnered sympathy from candidates. [20:20] Kevin shares tips and recommendations for companies navigating through lots of negative feedback. [27:03] As leaders, we need to invest the same effort and time, and thoughtful communication  into our employees as we do our customers, as well as those who aren't our employees who will experience our brand in some way in the future.
