This episode of Big Fish in the Talent Pool is inspired by some beginning-of-the-year introspection. In 2022, I am focusing on making a little more “space” for myself, my family, and my clients. By allocating time for my relationships, I have decided to pause the podcast, at least for a while. I thought a nice capstone before my break would be a recent conversation I had with Kevin Grossman at the Talent Board. We talk about PeopleResults, our TA practice, a little about my career, and the never-ending quest to improve the candidate experience. Over the last four years, I have been fortunate to interview TA Leaders such as David Reed of Vail Resorts, Carly Sanchez of Wells Fargo, Sylvette Sawyer of OpenDoor, Rob Dromgoole of Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma, Diana Barr of Boeing, Stephanie Zywien of General Motors, and Tim Streeter of (formerly) Whirlpool. Big leaders - all - and each with diverse views on industry best practices, their path to TA Leadership, and the latest TA technology. One final note, I am dedicating this capstone episode to my Grandma Svea (who is 100 and still kicking!) for modeling what it's like to pour your heart and soul into your work and your family. Thank you, Grandma! As always, many thanks to our Sponsors!

In this episode, you'll listen in on Erin's conversation with two emerging TA Leaders, Courtney Connor of Sequoia Consulting Group and Julia "Wonder Woman" Adler of Wayne Technologies. These "Future Big Fish" share their unique perspective from their 4-5 years of experience in consulting, staffing, and sourcing. They discuss their views of TA Leadership from an individual contributor perspective, the importance of keeping up with ever-evolving technologies, and their favorite TA technology right now. Both Courtney and Julia share their insight into why the younger generation is disrupting the status quo of leadership and following new, alternative avenues of success outside of typical paths to “success”. Throughout this conversation, there is a lot in store for both Big Fish and Future Big Fish listeners alike. And as for the more seasoned TA Leaders, stay tuned to hear how Courtney and Julia answer the question, "Fill in the Blank: We could fix Recruiting if only we would…__________.” Their answers might surprise you!

The CandEs Shop Talk Podcast welcomes Erin Peterson, a partner and global talent acquisition consultant at PeopleResults, helping organizations deliver their top priorities in a changing marketplace and world — and a proud CandE sponsor. Listen in on how improving candidate experience impacts recruiting and the business bottom line.

Jacob Kramer is the Vice President of Driver Recruiting at US Xpress, Inc., a job he got by pitching his ideas to the CEO and Head of HR for automating recruitment in their industry. He had transformed stylist hiring for Regis Corp and saw synergies that could apply. So he took a risk, made the pitch, and the rest is history. A self-proclaimed introvert with a drive to solve big recruiting challenges, Jacob Kramer has a knack for using Recruitment Process Automation to replace time-consuming, manual steps in large-scale recruitment. Then he takes it a step further. Never one to be content with the status quo, Jacob challenges his vendors to create and deliver groundbreaking enhancements. Listen as he describes how he and his team germinated the idea of a geo-fenced AI Assistant who, based on census data, matches candidate demographics. No more generic bots for US Xpress candidates! My favorite quote from our conversation? “You can only fail forward. Anything worth doing is going to be difficult, and you're going to fail. But each day, you make improvements.” Indeed!

Lianne Daues is the Senior Director of Talent Acquisition at Core-Mark International, having cut her teeth at The Container Store, JC Penney and originally Rehab Care. The progressive steps in TA and eventually leadership were on the advice of a mentor who encouraged Lianne early on to consider Recruiting as a potential career path, which she did, and she's never looked back. Today, Lianne is doubling down on Conversational AI as a strategy to transform Core-Mark's recruitment approach, as she tackles the challenge of over 5,000 hires annually, most of them hourly. In Lianne's words, “If [TA] organizations aren't looking at technology [to drive process], then they're already behind.” Thanks to our Sponsors!

Tim Streeter is the classic example of Daniel Pink's A Whole New Mind, living out the power of using both left brain and right brain simultaneously in his Global Talent Acquisition leadership roles at Whirlpool and Accenture, and in the rest of his life. Where does he find the time and energy to flex into both realms in everything he does? That's Tim's secret, which he gladly shares in his book, The Contentment Commitment, and on Episode 38 of Big Fish in the Talent Pool. With degrees in Economics and Math, we could expect him to be all quantitative analysis and data, on which he does rely heavily. But he's also a great communicator, a strong people leader, a competitive soccer player, an author, and a musician, having made 9 albums over the past 10 years. Tim is creating his own legacy one purposeful decision at a time. Listen and be inspired!

Contagious passion, gratitude and optimism for the future of Talent Acquisition characterize my discussion with MaryAnne Pelland, Citizens Head of TA Strategy and Services, in Episode 36. Having studied Biology and intending to be a doctor, she morphed her passion for helping others into an early career in staffing scientific talent, then insurance, then Citizens - where she's been making a difference for 17 years. According to MaryAnne, a career in recruiting is "The best job there is!". We talked Customer Empathy, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, TA Tech (Note: Paradox/Olivia and OutMatch skeptics will want to hear this), Candidate Experience , and Citizen's approach to retraining and repurposing branch banking employees during the pandemic. MaryAnne bakes practicality mixed with innovation into a fascinating TA model. My favorite quote from our conversation: “In every opportunity, good or bad, you should reflect and think about what you gained from it. Sometimes that gain is what not to do but some of it is recognizing that you pushed yourself to do the hard and scary things.” Can you find the Easter Egg in this week's Big Fish conversation?

Tim Sackett in TA circles needs no introduction, and defies categorization if an intro is attempted, but let me give it a shot. He is the prolific, if edgy author, blogger, HRU Tech staffing CEO, dad, husband, co-founder (MI Recruiter’s Conference, Fistful of Talent, ATAP, HR Famous Podcast) and all-around good guy.

In this episode, you’ll listen in on Erin’s conversation with two High Volume Recruiting leaders, Jennifer Huelsmann of EXL, and Chris Gould of PeopleScout. They discuss how contrary to popular opinion, the Global Pandemic has not quelled hiring for all companies, and for many, demand for talent is at an all time high. Organizations with large hourly populations with high attrition, healthcare companies ramping up to crush the virus, and tech companies prospering from the work from home shift, are a few examples. Chris, Jennifer and Erin engage in a robust discussion about the strategies and tactics top companies are using to scale their hiring through reimagining sourcing, assessments, interviews, and onboarding — all with an eye toward improving the overall candidate experience.

In this Big Fish episode, we are showcasing a learning session from #RPOACON2020 Virtual Conference in which Erin moderates a panel discussion with three Big Fish of the RPO world: Cory Kruse of Orion Novotus, John Hess of Advanced RPO, and Jason Krumwiede of Broadleaf Results. With Agile methodology from the world of software development as the backdrop, these leaders make the case for recruitment process outsourcing as a solution to the extreme volatility in demand caused by the Pandemic of 2020. In this honest and fun conversation on how the challenges of this crazy year have forced everyone - including RPO providers - to rethink the way things are done, Cory, Jason, and John discuss their challenges and solutions openly. Everything from using daily stand-ups to stay organized and nimble, to project-based RPO to remove risks, to using new technology in ramping down and up support quickly. It’s a wild ride, and we think you’ll enjoy the banter between these experienced competitors and “frenemies”, including their predictions for 2021!

Truly global Talent Acquisition leadership starts with understanding the business and the brand, according to Sheila Crosby Powell, the Global Talent Acquisition Leader for Engineering Environmental and Architectural Construction Services Firm GHD. This employee-owned, global consulting firm has 10,000 people covering most of the globe in Australia/New Zealand, greater Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and North America, giving Sheila plenty of opportunity and challenge. In our discussion, Sheila outlines her approach to applying 30+ years of global TA experience - all with one company, Accenture - to upgrading GHD’s TA candidate experience, technology, and brand. “As a company, your brand is tied to the kind of people you're going to attract and the kind of company you're going to become. So, TA and marketing have to be linked together to make a positive impact.” Sheila is based in Phoenix, Arizona, but has worked and traveled internationally for most of her career. Having been to Australia, Europe, and Asia dozens of times makes her a bit of an expert on global relationships and change management. In our conversation, I asked her about the keys to gaining buy-in and global consistency when you want to make a process or tech change. Her answer, unsurprisingly is that it’s all about relationships. By first seeking to understand and gathering the information needed, she gains trust (authentically) allowing her to ultimately tap the best people to find a solution. Sheila also suggests that to build an effective team that works globally, healthy boundaries need to be set. By setting boundaries, you set a precedent of how others treat you, show confidence, and get things done!

"We try to operate exactly like a retained executive search firm - even though we are in-house." So says Diana Barr, the Head of Global Executive Staffing at Boeing, the world's largest aerospace company and leading manufacturer of commercial jetliners, global defense, space and security systems. Diana joined them in 2019 to build an "internal search firm" as a fresh approach to their senior leadership staffing strategy, including sourcing, assessment, diversity and inclusion, and succession planning across an international footprint. Having started her career as an HR generalist for Marriott International, she determined that recruiting - specifically executive recruiting - was the most challenging and enjoyable part of her day. She struck out on her own to focus and gain exec hiring experience, and later joined Heidrick & Struggles to refine her skills. She also spent time recruiting top talent for a Private Equity firm(Enesco)and then with the industrial e-commerce giant, Grainger, before joining Boeing. For TA Leaders looking to increase their impact, Diana offers her perspective on the importance of knowing what you bring to the proverbial party. “Everyone has strengths and you really need to understand your own strengths as well as your passion to be able to focus on what it is that you have to offer. For me, that's being a connector, learning people's stories, and developing relationships.” As for the ability to attract executive talent to an organization that has been under scrutiny from the FAA for several years, Diana gives a great example of upholding the employment brand with an historical perspective. "This 140 year old company has prevailed through all kinds of business cycles, wars, and many other challenges, and we'll made it through this time in our history too."

In this Big Fish bonus episode, we are showcasing the RPOA Webinar - a candid conversation between Erin and two former podcast guests, Nicole Cox and Robert Navarrete. The Webinar is titled “What You Always Wanted to Know About RPO, But Didn’t Know Who to Ask”. As the Head of Talent Acquisition at OnTrak, Inc., Nicole brings her RPO and Staffing Agency knowledge to a corporate “build” role for the first time in her career. Similarly, Rob is now the Director and Head of Recruitment at Willis Towers Watson NA, but spent a good part of his career in RPO client team and sourcing leadership roles.

Topics Discussed: How to avoid the “we vs. they” mentality Inviting full transparency & feedback for effective transformation The best & worst roles to outsource Distinguishing between outsourcing and offshoring How COVID-19 has altered the outsourcing value proposition The qualities of an effective RPO Connect with Nicole Cox: Twitter: https://twitter.com/nicolecox1 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nicolecox2/?jobid=1234 Connect with Rob Navarrete: Twitter: https://twitter.com/R_Navarrete LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/robertnavarrete/?jobid=1234 About our Webinar Sponsor, Recruitment Process Outsourcing Association: The goal of RPOA is to educate the marketplace of the value of RPO and elevate the status in the Talent Acquisition space.

“Talent acquisition is so core to the business... it’s not just nice motherhood and apple pie initiatives... it’s a critical business function”. So says Melissa Mounce, the Managing Director - Leadership Talent and Diversity at GTCR, the Chicago based private equity firm which holds leadership as a key to their growth strategy. In fact, their approach to finding and partnering with portfolio leadership in core domains is actually trademarked as The Leaders Strategy™. It follows that their Talent and Diversity Leader might have some interesting insights on finding and assessing executive talent to share with us, especially given her career’s foundation in business. No stranger to tough environments, Melissa started her career in Chicago with Motorola Solutions as a global business strategy “road warrior”, and then moved to a business process consulting role with EY/Capgemini. PNC Bank was the beginning of her Talent Acquisition career where she applied her business skills to their large scale hiring challenges, then Aon Hewitt’s RPO, where she oversaw and innovated the logistics of hiring 70,000 people annually. She then led recruitment for Abbott Labs and later Baird Capital, rounding out a career with the widest spectrum of hiring volumes, levels, and roles of any leader on the Big Fish podcast to date. For TA Leaders who wonder what it would be like to “herd the cats” at a PE firm where basically everyone is a boss, Melissa offers her perspective of the pandemic’s silver lining for GTCR. “The COVID environment has made our leadership very accessible. We’re not on airplanes, so we’re using the time to deepen our pipelines and our network of executives who are ethnically and gender diverse.” We also discuss Melissa’s role in the trenches with portfolio company leadership, the power of company culture, and the benefits of slow-rolling executive assessment. Other topics Discussed: Evaluating the “equity value” leaders bring to the table The best metrics to measure efficiency and effectiveness Creating value as a business leader in the PE environment Using company core values to assess and match talent Using “found time” during COVID to deepen the diversity pipeline Connect with Melissa Mounce LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/melissamounce/?jobid=1234 Additional Resources GTCR Leaders StrategyTM Connect with Erin Peterson Erin is a Talent Acquisition Consultant, Interim Leader, and RPO Advisor with PeopleResults.

Among the tectonic shifts in healthcare, one of the most impactful is the innovation in cardiac monitoring devices, providing data and insights for heart patients never before captured or analyzed.

How does a 145-year-old employment brand stay relevant in the digital age? According to Marietta Cozzi, former Global Talent Acquisition Leader for Prudential, the keys are a clear mission, and rock-solid consistency in how customers, employees, and candidates are treated. Trust comes from knowing what to expect and having those expectations met or exceeded - which is exactly what Prudential is known for. In this Big Fish interview, we discuss all that, as well as Marietta’s great career in TA. You’ll hear how as a single mom she navigated a not-at-all clear path from a start in retail to increasingly challenging roles at American Express, to the top TA job at Pru, the Fortune 50 financial service powerhouse. We talk about lessons learned along the way, her advice for aspiring TA Leaders, and her view on hot new TA technologies vs. the personal touch. Marietta’s secret sauce is her high energy, mixed with a sense of humor, a bit of wisdom and a unique perspective from years of front-line and leadership experience. Listen in and be inspired! Topics Discussed: The interesting challenges and joys of Talent Acquisition Exposure of management and leadership skills right outside of college The importance of consistency in employment branding The benefits and limitations of technology in making human connections Practicalities of balancing single parenthood with career ambition Why the idea of being “career-oriented” is an outdated mindset Career advice for aspiring Talent Leaders --- Connect with Marietta Cozzi LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/marietta-cozzi-2706695 Connect with Erin Peterson I am a Partner and Consultant with PeopleResults.

This podcast interview focuses on the future of work and the increasingly important role AI plays in our business life.

In 2017, she became a partner at organizational development firm PeopleResults. Her goal is to prepare organizations and their employees to be competitive and marketable in the future business world.This triggered me, hence I invited Alexandra to my podcast. We explore how the workplace is changing with the future of work, and how this is reshaping our role as business professionals, and what we, people, need to do now in order to create a future in which we can play an even more valuable role.Here are some of his quotes:We're looking at there is the rise of what I call human machine of hybrid teams.I do think everyone needs to be prepared, though, that humans will need to work seamlessly with machines.The critical role that we're going to play is that there's no replacing human beings when it comes to certain traits, like interpersonal sensitivity, and empathy and judgment, and intuition and creativitySo what humans need to be doing is looking for ways to add that value in any job that you have, and see the writing on the wall, not bury your head in the sand with respect to what aspects are legitimately going to be automated and look to add value in different ways.My fear is not that people lose their jobs, as I said, my fears that people will not be able to adapt to the new types of roles that they're, they're going to have.How can I continue to add value. And this is a skill set, that's kind of rare, and everybody needs to develop.I think the passive attitude is really destructive. We want to be active and recognize the future is not something that happens to us. It's something that we create.During this interview, you will learn three things:That most value will be created once humans and machines start working as hybrid teamsWhy every single one of us has to act now to improve our human relationship skillsAnd why beyond that we have to master the way we do personal branding and self-marketing.

Make Waves: Be the One to Start Change at Work and in Life by Patti Johnson This on demand audio series is a part of the Executive Girlfriends Group Vignette Series. . Chicke Fitzgerald interviews Patti Johnson. The original live interview was 5/29/15. Anyone can start or contribute to a wave. Patti Johnson researched and interviewed an eclectic mix of Wave Makers, from leaders in business and the community, to entrepreneurs and new professionals, to explore the decisions and actions of individuals who started a change. Our thoughts get in our way and we rely on the same steps that work for other situations. But, a true change, a wave, is different. A wave requires stepping out and building commitment that grows organically. Patti Johnson is a career and workplace expert and the CEO of PeopleResults, a change and organizational development consulting firm she founded in 2004. She and her team advise clients such as PepsiCo, Microsoft, 7-Eleven, Accenture, Frito-Lay and many others on creating positive change in their leaders and organizations.

The TalentCulture #TChat Show is back live on Wednesday, December 17, 2014, from 7-8 pm ET (4-5 pm PT). Last week we talked about how to legally leverage social media in the recruitment process, and this week we’re going to talk about how to make waves and initiate positive change. We should all step up and be the ones to initiate positive change in the world of work, instilling “wave-making” behaviors in others within their organization. By reinforcing our continuous desire to contribute and make a difference on an individual level, wave-making bridges the gap between that desire and the actions necessary to realize bigger changes and improve employee engagement. Change can be big or small. It is the act of stepping up that makes all the difference, as well as the ripple effect on those around. Join TalentCulture #TChat Show co-founders and co-hosts Meghan M. Biro and Kevin W. Grossman for the last show of 2014 as we learn Join TalentCulture #TChat Show co-founders and co-hosts Meghan M. Biro and Kevin W.
