Podcast appearances and mentions of nick mailey

Nick Mailey, Vice President of Talent Acquisition at Equinix, has a long history of tech industry recruiting, but he began that path after a short political career pursuing social justice. That early political experience gave him a values-driven approach to recruiting that he lives by to this day. Chief among Nick's talent acquisition values is a willingness to invest in his people. He encourages his fellow leaders to lean into this concept, his advice is to: - Provide opportunities for development after a candidate joins your organization. - Encourage organizational leaders to be part of an ongoing development structure both for themselves and their teams. - Seek out candidates that are in career transitions and provide the skills training they need to effectively change roles. - Veterans, refugees and immigrants are often avid job-seekers who can be effective team members given the right onboarding and training. Current hires lay the groundwork for future organizational leaders. Investing in those hires ensures that your company builds a pathway toward continued growth and success.

Finding the right talent is one of the toughest things an organization must do right now. There is a huge need to expand the scope of hiring beyond traditional methods and mindsets, to tap into talent pools that would so often be underutilized. Barriers need to be broken down to create access to employment – but what does this actually look like? And how can companies become more innovative in their approach? On this week's episode of The Shortlist, we're chatting with Nick Mailey, the VP of TA at Equinix. Nick has seen huge success in creating career pathways for individuals who perhaps have taken a pause from work, are transitioning from another industry, or are entering the workforce for the first time. We'll talk about how this changes the standard playbook for hiring, the role of training in driving this approach, and the importance of looking for soft skills when interviewing.

Nick Mailey, Equinix 1:27I'm doing really well. Thank you so much for the invite. I love this community. I've shared this before I continue to learn from everyone here. And so thanks for the opportunity to chat. To be right, it's 2020 COVID. We are in unprecedented time. So for sure, for sure. Well, we know you get out what you put in. Right. So it's so it's exciting. Um, so Nick, today, we're going to ask the age old question that leaders face when thinking of technology and talent, right. And that's whether or not to buy or build what's needed. Now you've been doing this for a period of time, you've learned a few things as a leader at various organizations of note, what's one thing you'd really like our listeners to walk away knowing with regards to the challenge of buy v build? Well, you mean, really getting narrow in on what you're solving for what's critical to the business in what you really need to deliver. And when you look at, it sounds really simplistic, but I do lots of interviews to really understand what's critical with executives, and then with employees, because those are ultimately your clients. That's really the number one thing and then it's getting alignment that you're going to deliver on that need. And then I the whole buy versus build I balance, balance, like what is the need? And then how are we going to deliver on that and balance can can look differently, whether it's technology or people or what you're going to deliver? deliver? Chris Hoyt 3:02is there is there one big takeaway, though, so from a balance standpoint, I mean, when I are balanced, I think of priorities, right? Whether that's buy in on the front, you know, on the front end, or whether that's, you know, from an implementation and staging standpoint, or adoption and change management? I mean, is there one that's just been a particular we can go with victory or defeat, but just one that really stands out to you from from experience standpoint? Nick Mailey, Equinix 3:30So let me answer this in a couple of ways, because I want to try to answer your question. When I think about balance, I think about the teams that were developing and growing to deliver on a on a business need. And invariably, when you do an assessment of an organization that you're working with, they may have some of the talent but not all of the talent. So you're buying, you're buying.
