We had a great chat with Brian Thompson Co-Founder of RecTxt RecTxt has experienced remarkable success with Unleash, enabling them to establish valuable face-to-face connections with numerous clients. RecTxt has gained recognition for their user-friendly texting service, which seamlessly integrates with all ATS platforms.

Adding to the excitement, RecTxt has introduced personas to enhance the tone of their texts. Initially, Chad and Cheese contributed their AI personas in the first iteration.

Superfan of the show and our favourite HR person (yes, you read that correctly) Michelle Berg, the Chief Visionary Officer at Elevated HR and the team of people who are powering DisruptHR YYC.  DisruptHR YYC Thursday, November 17 at 5 pm Platform Calgary at 407 9 Avenue Southeast Tickets are $40 on Eventbrite https://disrupthr.co/city/calgary/ There are some first time Speakers as well as a few regulars. We do our best to prepare those who have never attended and hype this for those who love to disrupt.  Michelle's LinkedIn article got us going! Sharing some of the most jaw dropping conversations with Hiring Managers as to why they will discard an applicant - without even reading the full resume.  Using the title of Talent Acquisition is smoke and mirrors! All we really do is scout for experience, not truly understanding someone's talent.  If you believe your employer brand is on par with Google or MicroSoft, go ahead, ask candidates to invest 8 hours or even 3 days to be offered the life changing experience of working for your company. HR needs to stay in their lane and stop creating terrible candidate experiences!

What is a better recruitment process? How can you be more creative in seeking the best talent and stop doing the same old thing - especially when it doesn't work that well? In this episode we talk about how to break out of bad recruitment habits e.g. put out inaccurate and out of date job postings, use job boards (only) hoping for the best, conduct inefficient and pointless reference checks. Someone suggested I talk to Serge Boudreau about what he does. Serge doesn't describe his approach as 'creative' but his approach is not typical. He does what he needs to do to get the best possible talent for his employers.

This week The Recruitment Flex we welcome Alex Murphy CEO of JobSync. We dig into why are Talent Acquisition process so different from company to company plus we dig into, - What is your conversion rate of candidates clicking to apply to your jobs, if it's not 20% or above you probably have an issue. - How can you save more time as a recruiter by automating or replacing time spent with technology - Why is it important for your process to be consistent no matter where the candidate found your job. - Are you taking too long to reach out to your candidates.

Automating recruitment? It's something you're thinking about or you have done a little... but what else could you do? There is lots of insight and details in this episode around automating sourcing, scheduling interviews, ATS, making more of your HRIS, ditching your HRIS (at least for recruitment), reference checks and more!

Does your organization and HR department REALLY want the best candidates or is it just words? SHOULD recruitment and selection be in human resource management at all??? HR tends to be put junior people in recruitment who don't like it and leave as soon as possible. So recruiters aren't developing the skillsets they really need to be effective recruiters. Their most important role is to connect with potential candidates and work with hiring managers to understand the organization. Too often HR doesn't provide the budget that good recruitment needs. AND, as Serge Boudreau says, good recruiters should act more like sales and marketing people than your typical HR person. There's a lot to learn from Serge's perspective on recruitment that challenges our preconceived notions of recruitment's place in organizations. Many HR departments can certainly do better.

The Recruitment Flex this week features David Bernstein VP Partnerships and Industry Relations. Solving TA problems we know we have - yet tolerate - that's what David taught us today. When most of our tech stack is 13 or 14 systems, how to get it all to flow nicely seems to confuse us in TA.

Special new series where we talk to startups in HRTech space. Dan Giurescu founder of TerraHub Technologies & Blockchain Guru joins the Recruitment Flex and we tried to be easy on him We figured this was a good time to see if we could get our heads around what Blockchain is and what this means for recruitment. Turns out, this technology will be left on HR's chair! The future for recruitment would look very different if everyone had their resume as a verified document. Dan gives us some real world examples of how Blockchain is being used in lots of industries. We think we get it….. Digital Identity explained…. I think HR needs to understand this to support the business and protect their employer

Joining us on the Recruitment Flex this week Paula Breeze, EVP HR & Corporate Affairs AND Susan Shea, Founder of Edge Human Resource Solutions If you could chat with your former (or current) VP of HR, what would you talk about? Who would have the b@!!s to tell them that HR is known to never execute?!?

#FlexFridays is back with another episode of The Recruitment Flex. This week we welcome a true giant of the industry Jerome Ternynck CEO of SmartRecruiters and author of Hiring Success: How Visionary CEOs Compete for the Best Talent. We tackle critical issues in the Talent Acquisitions world such as how do we get Talent Acquisitions leaders and practitioners to choose technology they leverage on a daily basis instead of IT, Finance or HR. Companies with the best talent win. Period! Why the skills gap is not going away and how you can adjust. Why recruiters are more salespeople than HR. Metrics you should be measuring and so much more. We encourage everyone to get the Hiring Success book and gift it to their CEO.

In this first episode get to know Serge and Shelley. They talk about what they love and dislike about the recruitment industry.
