The future of recruiting isn't coming. It's already here. And if you're still relying on your legacy tech stack and spreadsheets, you're already behind. Enter Steven Jiang, CEO and Co-founder of HireEZ, who just dropped one of the most important AI launches in the recruiting space - EZ Agent, their agentic AI companion built to fundamentally reshape the recruiter's role. Forget everything you know about “copilots” and “gen AI assistants.” EZ Agent is not just another AI tool bolted onto your ATS. It's a fully-integrated, always-on agent that plans, reasons, executes, and evolves - empowering recruiters to get out of the weeds and back into real talent relationships. Steven joins Tim Sackett to break down: • Why agentic AI isn't just better - it's a whole new operating system for recruiting • How recruiters move from task managers to true talent strategists • What it means to create a white-glove candidate experience at scale • And how EZ Agent is solving the “black hole” problem by giving 100% of candidates a shot at the plate Steven's built more than a product - he's building a movement to re-humanize recruiting with AI doing the heavy lifting behind the scenes. If you care about talent, inclusion, and the future of work - this is the conversation you need to hear.

006: Authenticity – Being Your True Self with Carvana

Culture Crush Business Podcast

Play Episode Listen Later Apr 1, 2021 61:13


We have heard a lot about the company culture at Carvana, but this podcast was our opportunity to get a deeper dive with an inside perspective. Neil Shah was able to give us the inside look at the growth of Carvana and how they have continued to support their employees through the past year (in the middle of a pandemic if you forget). Carvana has grown rapidly since its inception and due to the innovation and the concept behind Carvana, the company has continued to grow over the past year, where many other companies have struggled. Since the concept of Carvana already included limited contact with others and had a foundation set in technology to make car buying easy, this allowed Carvana to focus on their people during the beginning of the pandemic instead of the business platform itself. While other companies were struggling to find the right forms of technology to support their company becoming contactless, Carvana was able to put focus on their employees first. In a matter of three fast weeks, Carvana was able to shift their employees to working remote, with a similar and comfortable set up that they had in their office. They cut back hours on some staff, but never cut their health care coverage. Carvana changed their sick plan to include support for those that got covid so they never had to tap into their PTO. The leadership team even took cuts in their own salaries to make sure that the employees were covered. After shifting their employees to remote and supporting them in their new routines, the company was able to put the focus back toward the company and ways to grow in a contactless fashion. The focus was never off the employees though. The leadership continues to stay in open communication with the employees, continues to offer opportunities for recognition, and supports the employees in being their authentic selves in the workplace. When we mention recognition, we are talking next level recognition in some cases where Carvana gifted 21 employees with a new car this year. You cannot have a conversation about company culture without talking about values. Carvana has seven values that they showcase and refer to often, but Neil gave us his top two, one of which we cannot get enough of. “Your next customer may be your mom,” is one of their core values, that is not only referenced daily as the employees interact with a wide range of customers, but this is value is showcased on one of the walls in their office. We know many companies that write core values on the wall that do not truly embody what they stand for, but Carvana took it to the next level by adding photos of the employee's moms on the wall as well. We absolutely love that Carvana has taken the value one step further to help there to be a true connection with the employees and the core values that they believe in. Here are the rest of their core values in case you are interested… • We're all in this together • Be brave • There are no sidelines • Zag forward • Don't be a Richard (you know what this one means… and we love it!) This podcast is not just to hear about a few values that are written on a wall. We know that just because you write them on the wall doesn't mean the staff feels connected and automatically feels the stronger company culture. This podcast gives our listeners the opportunity to hear about the company culture through the stories, examples, and passion that Neil shares. Hearing from him allows our listeners to connect. Most of us have left a position at least once, to join a company because we wanted more opportunities to grow. We have most likely stayed with a company because we could truly be ourselves (or left a company because we couldn't be ourselves). These actions and feelings are at the root of a good company culture and our listeners have the opportunity to connect through this podcast and hearing about the good company culture with Carvana from Neil's view. If you like disrupting the norm and are looking to join a company revolutionizing an industry then you will LOVE what Carvana has done for the car buying experience. Buying a car the old-fashioned way sucks and we are working hard to make it NOT suck. I mean, have you seen our vending machine?! We are looking for people who are excited to thrive in an environment of impactful change. Team spirit is evident at Carvana and every day we let our passions and creativity foster innovation. We take big swings, set ambitious goals, and challenge each other to make data- and process-driven decisions in everything we do. We've been changing the game since 2013, and we're not taking our foot off the gas now. Neil Shah is the Team Lead of Technical Recruiting at Carvana. He has over 13 years of experience in Technical Recruiting coming from a recruiting agency background. He made the leap from agency to corporate technical recruiting in 2018 in an effort to be a shepherd of culture and growth rather than just a placement professional. He is passionate about creating inclusive and diverse technical teams and building long-term relationships. Connect with Neil on LinkedIn.

Since then, the company has helped more than 2,000 organizations go beyond résumés and ‘pedigree' to find talent with proven programming skills. Topics include: the advantages and limitations of using résumés in hiring for technical roles, the issues with relying on educational or career ‘pedigrees' as proxies for technical skill, the biases introduced when screening based on measures like GPA, why software development has been one of the last fields to “digitize” its screening processes, the role of emotions in making hiring decisions, the hidden costs of communication when hiring a remote workforce, the meaning of culture and the implications for remote workforces, the necessary ingredients for creating a thriving tech eco-system, how a city's “vibe” dictates which industries will thrive there, the attrition problem facing engineering departments, and the ways in which technology can enable career development within an organization.

Episode Transcript - https://medium.com/the-passion-people-project/s02-e20-the-rationalist-2414b15291f7 Here are some excerpts from the conversation - “Pay attention to what you are afraid of.” “Come up with your own system of values - Make decisions for yourself” What do does Andy value? - Humor;  - Risk - Rich parts of life unless you take risk.  How to reflect on good and bad things? Reflect on bad things by thinking of why something happened, not by pinning the blame on somebody but to get the root cause of why something bad happened and what could be done to avoid that in the future.  Reflect on good things by writing down in as much detail as possible how something feels like. Chase that feeling. Write down why decisions were made the way there were and reflect back on it from time to time.  How can one be more gentle with oneself? Wait. But Why? - Tim Urban - https://waitbutwhy.com  Write down how that feels at that moment. If something feels bad or ugly, it mostly is a misalignment between something doing and the belief.  Ben Franklin Effect - The Ben Franklin effect is a proposed psychological phenomenon: a person who has already performed a favour for another is more likely to do another favor for the other than if they had received a favour from that person - How to ask for help? People want to add meaning to their life and to the lives of others. So when asking for help, provide context and tell them that you were in a similar spot as they are or were and would want to talk about it.  Kurt Vonneget - We are asking our spouse to be too many people? Conference – A good way to think about networking in a conference is to answer the question of - Can you be friends with this person for 10 years?  If the answer is yes, a simple way to add depth to your conversation is to simple ask – “I am really enjoying this conversation, do you want to grab a coffee or go for a walk?” Check out the Holloway Guides –https://www.holloway.com/ · Holloway Guide to Equity Compensation - https://www.holloway.com/g/equity-compensation/about · Holloway Guide to Equity Compensation - https://www.holloway.com/g/venture-capital/about · Holloway Guide to Technical Recruiting and Hiring - https://www.holloway.com/g/technical-recruiting-hiring/about  The guides just aren't everything, do check out the website for other mini-guides and syllabus ranging from B2B Sales to using Twitter effectively.  Books and Brain Food Suggested -    The Artist's Way: A Course in Discovering and Recovering Your Creative Self by Julia Cameron - https://www.amazon.in/Artists-Way-Discovering-Recovering-Creative/dp/1509829474/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=artists+way&qid=1578927061&sr=8-2  The Artist's Way Morning Pages Journal: A Companion Volume to the Artist's Way by Julia Cameron - https://www.amazon.in/Artists-Way-Morning-Pages-Journal/dp/0874778867/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1BO6PYA6NJVKD&keywords=morning+pages+journal&qid=1578927139&s=books&sprefix=morning+pages%2Cstripbooks%2C469&sr=1-1  Lunch by oneself twice a week – Read alone and recharge

Founded in 2015, CodeSignal is the first company to develop an objective automated skills-based assessment platform that can be used as a standard for technical recruiters and employers. The company is now helping big organizations like P&G, Robinhood, Lenovo, and Uber make smarter hiring decisions for their technical hires. The CodeSignal's Machine Learning algorithm has analyzed terabytes of skill assessment data to develop the Coding Score, which is a predictor of a developer's coding and problem-solving ability, and technical interview performance. "Amazing things happen when a group of incredibly smart people work in unison to change the world. As a leader, your job is to create that environment." Tigran Sloyan Chief Executive Officer Here in 2019, more than 50% of software engineers are self-taught. So if a top programmer didn't attend an elite university, how can they prove their chops to potential employers? In the current state, technical hiring and testing during the interview process has been called a "bloodbath," and often leads to mis-hires or missed hires because what is being tested isn't actually realistic or relevant to the job at hand. I invited Tigran Sloyan back on to my daily tech podcast to learn more about the Certify solution. We discuss how it allows recruiters to make data-driven hiring decisions based on the skills that candidates show through real-world coding assessments. We also discuss how it streamlines the technical recruitment pipeline to help HR professionals move away from a reliance on traditional resumes.

Engagement!  Well, not the type of engagement you might be thinking of.  Engagement in the business sense. Employee engagement is the one critical element that leads to the success of your business!  Which I believe starts from the first point of contact with your organization… yes before someone is hired!  Today’s Quote: “Not what you say, not what you do but how you make people feel.” - Maya Angelou Guest Bio: Steve Higginbotham is the Branch Manager of Volt Workforce Solutions. As an executive business partner and inclusive leader, Steve brings two decades’ of experience leading organizational transformations with leading companies. Changing the way Staffing Companies engage with their customers is vital. Having a deep connection with your business and an inclusive approach will continue to add value through a Total Talent Management partnership.

Steve's experience coaching individuals helps improve communication. He has also conducted numerous presentations to board members and C-Level professionals with highly respected clients and industry associations. A people oriented leader who drives business collaborative to maximize team performance while mentoring & coaching individuals through aligned approaches to achieve desired results.  Show Highlights:  What Engagement is, what it isn’t Why engagement is critical today How to engage people to create emotional attachment! What is engagement and why is it important? Engagement How you communicate with your company Hiring managers - I want to hire the best talent, retain top talent What happens in the middle from what you want vs what you are getting The company gave 3 hours of training, no orientation, on the job training. Employees responsibility - Who owns engagement?? Problem 3 sides of the engagement - Who’s responsibility is it these days  If a person is not engaged correctly, they are going to bounce quickly… first 30 days.  The company needs to train leaders to be better leaders The dual partnership between the company's & managers People leave quickly or they stay and are just there because of the paycheck Belief in mission, vision values.  Outlining issues that you cannot control Employee: losing engagement with the job… nothing more that is being contributed Rick’s Thoughts Engagement starts with your job posting, email or phone call Critical in attraction & retention When you care, you win Human Contact is the key 1:75 people call back.  There has to be a personal approach.  Steps to maximize engagement Sources are not recruiters…  Everyone with at least relevant experience NEED to be called  train recruiters on what needs to be asked Discuss career worth Poor career planning. No mentoring, support or growth  Once they start: Not scaling back on your onboarding process Social media posts are not onboarding Clearly, have a process Train your recruiters What information to gather The importance of a conversation Reward finding gold nuggets! Create a hiring bonus for people who were passed over because of a resume but are actually good Pick up the phone and call people! Key Takeaways: Differentiate yourself from the standard hiring process Create a structured and standardized interview process Train your employees to be Talent minded Remember in engagement – how you make the candidate feel is more important – please be genuine in your approach, efforts and ensure timely and responsive feedback – always

In virtually every research study you see on talent acquisition trends and challenges, hiring technical talent shows up at the top of the list. It's not only a trend, because almost every company has a digital component today, but it's also a challenge: these candidates are hard to find, hard to source, and hard to convert into candidates.  In today's conversation, Ben interviews Kathleen Smith, Chief Marketing Officer at ClearedJobs.net, about what separates those employers that get results with those that don't. Conversation centers around "old school" components that are still driving success for many employers, such as job fairs. Additionally, Kathleen gives a powerful piece of advice for both new and experienced recruiters about how to integrate with the community to build trust and a positive reputation. With a market full of new, flashy, and sometimes overhyped recruiting technologies, this conversation takes recruiting back to its roots. If your company hires technical candidates like engineers, cybersecurity professionals, and other similar roles, then this show is going to give you some great insights into how to improve your results.  Connect with Kathleen on Twitter: https://twitter.com/yesitskathleen Don't forget, if you enjoy We're Only Human you can say "thank you" with a rating and review on iTunes! It helps others find the show and advances our mission of improving the HR profession, one HR pro at a time.
