“When we think of talent acquisition and talent attraction, there's an art and science to it,” says Thad Price, CEO of Ready, Set, Hire and Talroo. This week, Thad sits down with Mike Horne to share how businesses can reshape their hiring strategies by tapping into technology and data. Thad compares talent acquisition to customer acquisition, where branding, metrics, and data play a crucial role in attracting the right candidates. But how can companies use these tools to not just find, but truly connect with top talent? Thad explains that it's about creating a compelling employer brand, using data to understand what candidates are looking for, and maintaining consistent, transparent communication throughout the hiring process. By doing so, businesses can build trust and foster stronger connections with potential hires. The episode also explores the idea of “essential workers,” a term that became widely recognized during the COVID-19 pandemic. Thad sheds light on how Ready, Set, Hire, powered by Talroo's advanced talent-matching platform, simplifies hiring for small to medium-sized businesses. From crafting effective job postings to automating repetitive tasks, the platform leverages AI to create a smooth and efficient candidate experience. Thad and Mike don't shy away from discussing the frustrating phenomenon of ghosting in the hiring process. What can be done when candidates and employers alike drop the ball on follow-ups? Thad suggests that improving candidate quality and ensuring quicker, more transparent communication can make a significant difference. He also highlights the importance of retaining employees by offering clear career paths and competitive pay, which in turn helps reduce hiring costs and turnover. Looking ahead, Thad envisions a future where talent acquisition becomes even more candidate-centric—treating job seekers like consumers and providing a level of service and transparency that meets their expectations. Quotes “When we think of talent acquisition and talent attraction, there's an art and science to it… And through that experience, we have this function that is talent acquisition, which is a lot like customer acquisition.” (04:21 | Thad Price) “If you think about the idea of attracting talent and recruiting talent, recruiting is a contact sport. It is a sport of connecting with people, having conversations with people, and developing relationships.” (07:52 | Thad Price) “When we think about the idea of AI, I like to think it gives a lot of our traditional processes a superpower. That superpower allows us to do what we actually love and what we signed up for, which is changing lives and ensuring that recruiters are finding the right talent. This not only changes the job seeker's life but also helps propel a company to its next generation of growth.” (08:27 | Thad Price) “I think it's important to ensure that we are intentional around the connection to job seekers and candidates and treat the candidates as our consumers.” (37:37 | Thad Price) Links Learn more about Mike Horne on Linkedin Email Mike at mike@mike-horne.com Learn More About Executive and Organization Development with Mike Horne Twitter: https://twitter.com/mikehorneauthor Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mikehorneauthor/, LinkedIn Mike's Newsletter: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/6867258581922799617/, Schedule a Discovery Call with Mike: https://calendly.com/mikehorne/15-minute-discovery-call-with-mike Learn more about Thad Price: linkedin.com/in/thad-price-2368b/ talroo.com Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

Success in attracting top talent is every bit as important as winning customers, but many small businesses focus more on marketing their product than marketing their company to potential new hires. According to Thad Price, CEO of HR tech company Talroo, “Many job seekers want more; they want a career path. They want to be part of something bigger. This requires you to rethink how you attract the candidates that want to grow with you. And that's marketing, right? That's buying into the brand, focusing your energy on the right audience that's looking for an opportunity and not just this transactional nature of income.” Highlights [2:03] How the job market has changed [5:36] Opportunity for small and medium-sized businesses to attract talent [7:14] Brand, recruiting, and retention [8:40] Gen Z and sense of purpose [10:48] Being specific and strategic about how you market open positions [14:33] How can generative AI improve talent attraction?

Thad Price is the CEO of Talroo, a company that's transforming the hiring and recruiting landscape for essential workers.On a mission to disrupt the talent acquisition industry, Thad provides leadership, strategy, and guidance to all departments in his company, ensuring it's moving in the right direction with the right talent.Join Jim and Thad as they unpack the problems and opportunities that small, medium, and enterprise clients face hiring and developing talented people. 3 Key TakeawaysStop Being a Chief Everything Officer: When you're starting a business, managing every task and wearing multiple hats — it's all part of the hustle. But eventually you've got to focus more on your strengths and free up time for what you do best, and that means you've got to ensure you have the right talent in place that you trust to handle the other tasks effectively. Chase the Big Idea: Thad talks about the benefits of helping his staff believe that what they're doing is bigger than their company. They're helping transform their industry. They're innovating. They're creating positive change. When employees feel connected to a larger purpose, they're more motivated and engaged. When It Comes to Failing, Walk the Walk: A ton of business owners and CEOs talk about how it's ok to fail. But most of them, when it comes down to brass tacks, put high expectations on their designers and engineers to succeed at all costs. Failure can be a natural part of the creative process. But rather than just giving lip service to this idea, successful leaders actually empower their teams to push boundaries—and never berate them if they don't succeed.

Shelia was unable to be here for this episode of the podcast, but we were very fortunate to have Thad Price, CEO of Talroo, join the conversation. Our topic was flexibility at work and a report by McKinsey & Company entitled Americans are embracing flexible work—and they want more of it. The report was based on a survey of 25,000 Americans, so the findings are limited to their view of this workforce trend. Nevertheless and as is apparent from the report's title, McKinsey concludes that flexible work is no longer a temporary pandemic response, but rather is now an enduring feature of the modern world of work.We take a look at that claim – especially as it's manifested in the current push to work from home (WFH) among both employees and job seekers – and how employers can respond to the fact that over 40% of all workers labor in jobs where WFH is simply not feasible, yet still want the individual autonomy it provides. We also examine McKinsey's findings that flexible work programs may inadvertently undercut companies' DE&I goals particularly for women and “older” workers and discuss the implications of the larger trend of what Peter calls “sovereign work” – the accelerating desire among workers to be the masters of how their job is integrated into their lives. As always, it's a thought-provoking 30 minutes so give it a listen.Links mentioned:'Americans are embracing flexible work—and they want more of it' – McKinseyTalrooConnect with Thad Price on LinkedInMentioned in this episode:This episode is brought to you by Acquire ROIAcquire is a brand-new solution that's just been released by Keloh, an established recruitment marketing and technology agency.

Talent acquisition is a tough job these days. It seems as though candidates have the upper hand, making it challenging for recruiters to attract and land desperately-needed talent. Our guest today, Thad Price is the CEO of Talroo. He has done quite a bit of work in this area and shares some of his best tips and techniques to take a proactive role in talent acquisition.
Thad is the CEO of Talroo, a data-driven job advertising platform that helps hiring managers reach the candidates they need to build their essential workforce. It's hard to get your head around the changes in the labor market over the past couple of years, and especially over the past few months. We've gone from mass layoffs to “the great resignation” to regret over changing companies. Pay, benefits and company culture dominate discussions on both job boards and within boardrooms; and many people have simply decided to go their own way, seeking stability in starting their own companies or diving deeper into the gig economy. No matter how you look at it, recruiting and retention is more complicated than ever. This discussion tries to simplify some of that complexity as we dive into recruiting psychology. Thad brings a lot of great insight into the current labor situation and I'm sure there's something here that will help if everything you've tried hasn't worked.

How can we get Recruiters to think more like sales & marketing without making them feel like the poor 3rd cousin?

We converted sales metrics into recruitment terms and it fits really nicely Cost per applicant and the quality of applicants are the measure of success from recruitment marketing - but how do you get there? How do we move from screening out candidates to screening them in

Our interview guest is Thad Price, CEO of Talroo; he joins us to discuss the current retail hiring landscape, ways retailers are making themselves more attractive to potential future employees, and how hiring events have changed during the pandemic. In news, Natural Grocers showcases an increase in sales and reveals their plans for expansion during calendar 2022 and we look ahead to beauty retail in 2022 after Sally Beauty posted positive sales for their holiday season.
Over the past 12 months, there has been a lot said about the changing labor market. From 16% unemployment in March 2020 down to less than 4% today, we've seen a recruiting challenge unlike any other. Our guest today knows a thing or two or three about these changes. He's been on the technology side of the talent acquisition industry for more than 20 years, and today, he is the CEO of Talroo, Thad Price. As someone who oversees more than billion monthly searches by job seekers, Thad has a fairly unique perspective on the trends on the job market and what it takes to hire top talent. In this show, we discuss: The current labor market and four critical factors driving talent shortages. Why talent acquisition needs to be viewed as a sales and marketing process. The impact of remote work and what small to midsize companies can do to effectively compete against larger, often higher paying organizations. The value of creating “battle cards” as a way to think through talent attraction. The impact of gig work on recruiting and the often overlooked advantages of traditional employment. How organizations need to change the paradigm of hiring from reactive to strategic and see people as a revenue center.

Max: Hello, everyone. Welcome back to the Recruitment Hackers Podcast. I'm your host, Max Armbruster, and today on the show I'm delighted to welcome Thad Price, CEO of Talroo. Talroo is one of the leading platforms for programmatic advertising, and please, Thad, correct me afterwards if I'm mischaracterizing what Talroo does. But the point of this conversation is to go over some of the trends in how advertising is being spent in the recruitment space, particularly within the North American market, and how that's affecting the work of recruiters listening to this podcast. Thad, welcome to the show.Thad: Max, great to be here. Thank you for your time and happy holidays.Max: Thank you. Happy holidays. For those who are not familiar with Talroo, could you start with that? Tell us a little bit about how the business came to be, its evolution, and its current state. Thad: Yeah, absolutely. So, a little bit about our brand. As we think about the Talroo brand itself, it really is the intersection of recruiters and talent in helping companies find the right hires and the right talent to drive a business. When we think about the evolution of the industry over the last few years, we've seen a lot of similarities to traditional marketing, and where marketing, where ad tech and marketing have moved. And you know our thought processes is about the audiences that you're attracting to your job. It's about attracting the right talent to your jobs. So, really if you think about how we provide a lot of value to our recruiters and employers who leverage Talroo, it's about finding the right audiences wherever they are. Right time, right place, right candidates, and how we can leverage data to ensure that we're actually doing that. We were incubated in Silicon Valley a number of years ago, over ten years ago, and we moved to Austin, and we call Austin home for a little over 8 years. So, we moved in the first wave of folks moving from California to Austin, Texas, a great town for us.Max: Elon followed you a few years later.Thad: That's right. That's right. But it really has been a great opportunity for us, specifically because Austin is such a great town for entrepreneurship. And if you think about what makes a great town, and there are two things that I constantly hear in research. The first is the idea of creativity and the second is entrepreneurship. And I think we're seeing that in Austin. It's been terrific for us to attract the right talent and to take our business to the next level.Max: All these universities which are producing tens of thousands of graduates in the engineering space but also in business functions. I work a lot in the call center space, and I know that these student towns are a wonderful place to locate a call center as well. So, you don't have to be a Python and LP developer to find a job in these areas. They just attract a lot of productive capitalThad: Yeah, great point. When you think about UT here in Austin, a lot of students don't wanna leave. They call it home. They've moved from other areas in Texas, and Austin is just a terrific town. They get a lot of entrepreneurships, a lot of opportunity, and it's been great to just experience growth over the last 8 years.Max: So, I admit, Thad, that I'm not very fluent on the topic of programmatic and I described Talroo as a platform that does that. Am I on the right track? For those like me who need an education, could you go over what programmatic does?Thad: Absolutely. So, there's been a movement in job advertising, probably the last 5 years, where there's this idea of more efficiency in job advertising investment. From what we can tell, the total addressable market on job advertising is anywhere between 10 and 12 billion dollars worldwide. And so, there's a lot of inefficient investment that typically is in this [unintelligible]. So, the idea of programmatic is to be more efficient and to attract the right audiences so you can drive hires. The Talroo kind of definition of programmatic is this idea of profile-driven programmatic, which is beyond the ideas of the site in which you advertise, but based on the audiences and the people that you're attracting to jobs. So, I think that's a big differentiator when you think of the idea of programmatic in the job advertising world. Again, today, it's more about job distribution and how can I get on a lot of different sites. The key with profile-driven programmatic is this idea of reaching the right audiences at time of search, and how can we ensure we're reaching the right audiences to drive hires. And that feedback loop is what's so important. So, in traditional… I'll give you a little information about how this works in consumer advertising. So, if you take a large advertising marketplace like Google, for example. Google has data on what people are searching, and based on data on what people are searching, they're able to allow consumer advertising companies to attract consumers based on audiences and based on buying behavior. So, an example is, I'm in the market for buying a car. I'm in the market for buying a Ford truck. How can Ford advertise to people based on their data searching for folks looking for a truck? So, it's about the audience and about attracting the audiences that will show this behavior. And so, that's the consumer advertising world in a very basic terms.And I think about it in job advertising. So, in this idea of Ford Motor company who's looking to attract people looking to buy a truck. 20 years ago, it would be that you would need to be on cars.com because people on cars.com were looking to buy a car or a truck. And so, people would advertise on cars.com with the hopes of attracting people who are looking to buy a car or a truck. And so, that's what's been happening in the job search industry for the past 20 or 30 years where people advertise on many different job sites, and the idea is well, if someone is on a job site, then they're looking for a job. The next stage of this is how do you then leverage that data to go beyond a single destination and leverage data to ensure that you're reaching the right audiences at the time in which that audience is looking for a job. So, that's what we do here in Talroo, we power over a billion searches per month and we allow companies to attract audiences and match companies to audiences based on job advertising and job ads and based on profile, specifically. So, early on in our company history, we were a job site. Our technology powers one of the top job sites in the US, and that's Jobs2Careers. And so, we opened up our technology a number of years ago, so we could go beyond a single job search and really think about how we can access audiences outside of a single job site, which of course at that time is Jobs2Careers. Jobs2Careers is still a terrific destination, it's one of the top places that people look for jobs online in the US. So, the extension of that was how do we open up our technology to access additional audiences and provide scale for high volume hiring needs for employers looking for essential workers.Max: I remember, this is from many years ago, but I remember that the number one place where people go to look for jobs is Google. They go and type in a job title and then hope something pops up. Obviously, in the last couple of years, that search is a lot better than it was before because now Google is scraping all of this content. Do you access these insights to redistribute ads to the people who are looking for these job titles? How does that work?Thad: Great question. So, when we opened up our technology we power a lot of different sites. We power job alerts. We power notifications. We power a lot of different opportunities where people look to find jobs. And so, from Google's perspective early on when we were investing in our domain Jobs2Careers in that particular career site, job site. One of the things we did was we thought of, “Okay, how can we connect to Google and how we can ensure that we can make essentially searching through marketing more efficient for employers and for, of course, more efficient for jobseekers?” And so, early on a lot of the investment and a lot of the R&D went to, okay, how can we leverage Google from a search engine marketing perspective. So, absolutely, that's when [unintelligible] from a Google, for job's perspective, that's kind of its own marketplace and it has its own characteristics.Max: That's the free traffic and then there's the paid traffic.Thad: Exactly. And one of the things that we're very good at is we're very good in investing in search engine marketing to ensure that we're driving top of funnel candidates for employers.Max: So, it's free inbound separate from Google Jobs. So, there's resources with Google. Google Jobs, inbound, and then maybe paid advertising.Thad: That's right, that's right. And early on we're very good at paid advertising on Google because the thought process is we should be more effective at connecting our employers, connecting our job sites that we may be working with jobseekers. So, if we can connect with search engine marketing, we can be more effective at that. So that was kind of the idea of Job2Careers early on in our history before moving to Talroo, where Talroo is more of an advertising platform. So, when you access the Talroo ad platform, you have access to essentially profile-driven programmatic job advertising events which you can create, and of course our Insights product which essentially what you can do is you can look at the labor supply in a certain area in a certain location and, of course, a certain category.Max: To create searches that will then pull out data from different places, including maybe LinkedIn and places like that?Thad: Good question. Almost. From an Insights' perspective, it's only our data. So, it's data in which we're powering, and we have access to from a job search perspective. So, it isn't third-party data that may be coming from places like LinkedIn. But the good news is, with all of that data, we can help companies be more effective at recruitment marketing by helping them learn the top competitors in their location, the top titles that may be driving clicks, and job views. All of this is important in ensuring that we're creating more of our recruitment advertising practice, if you will, recruitment marketing practice for businesses.Max: And those insights can then be used in LinkedIn or other places.Thad: Exactly, exactly.Max: So, we've been through a rocky ride the last two years with maybe a third of recruiters losing their job in 2020 and then everybody being worked to the bone in 2021. If you listen to what's going on in social media, it's a bit of a story of extremes, but I do believe it to a certain degree. I have seen it on my side of business, some loud swings. What's been your experience from the advertising standpoints.? Who are the big winners in terms of employers? Who are the employers who performed really well during this period? You can categorize them by industry or perhaps by best practice. Who are the ones who won the talent award last year?Thad: Good question. I think that as an industry, there's been a huge shift. It's been transformational in so many different ways. Like you, a lot of our customers advertisers hit the pause button as the country was shut down. Pause button. You don't need to recruit. Now as the country was opening, it was, “I need a staff.” Demands up. “I need a staff, I need a staff.” It's been an interesting dynamic in the last probably 8-9 months as more companies are looking to hire and to ensure that they're meeting consumer demands. Winners and losers, I would say that there are couple things that I observed. The first is that for years, we've been talking about this idea of the baby boomers' impact in the US to the labor market. From what we can tell, everything shows that in the first quarter of, and this is a Pew report. In the first quarter of 2021, almost 3 million baby boomers retired more than the first quarter of 2020. That's a lot of folks, not because participating in the labor market, and there have been further studies on this as well. What we can basically say is, if we think about the Great Recession that we experienced a number of years ago, roughly 2000 and 2009. There was a sense of lack of financial security because of a lot of pressure on 401Ks given the turmoil in the markets. We didn't really experience that in the last year or so, and so there's this idea of feeling this financial, I guess, relief of, “Hey, my 401K is still plentiful.” Also, we've had housing prices, which in many cases from a family perspective, a lot of wealth is tied up in home prices. And so, I think there's a sense of security, and that was the word I was looking for earlier, there's a sense of security that a lot of families are seeing and so they retired. And so, now we have this situation where folks are retiring and let's not also, you know, we can't discount the sense of health and time. We were saying earlier before we jumped into the conversation that time is so important, it's the one thing in life we can never get back. So, I think people are actually looking at this and making that decision. So, that was the first shift that I think is kind of where we are in this tight labor market today. The second is the idea of flexibility. You know, winners, we talk about winners. I think a lot of the winners, a lot of the, what we refer to as the gig marketplace, have been winners. And the idea of InstaCard and DoorDash and other providers in which you can work when you wanna work and have that ability to turn on the ability to deliver or to drive. And we've been seeing this for years as an industry, talking about this idea of flexibility being so important to the labor market, but I think that the pandemic accelerated all of this. And you've been seeing moves, even companies like Target, buying and investing in companies like Shipt, where you could turn on this idea of labor when you need it. We saw this with, a number of years ago, IKEA purchasing TaskRabbit. And so, my feeling is that companies are having to leverage these marketplaces more than ever because they need to adapt to what jobseekers really want and you're gonna see this transformation continue to unfold, I believe.Max: There's this one trend of capturing the marketplace and putting your foot inside these closed ecosystems where everybody is logging into to get an hourly gig or to speak to like-minded people in their profession. I get that that's popular and attractive, but I also feel like these closed ecosystems, they never last. Eventually, they die a quiet death, or they become very specialized and never hear from them. But what always last is an influx of new talents, coming into the marketplace, and sometimes that talent spends its time on Instagram and two years later they spend time on Snapchat and two years later they're spending time on TikTok. Those are the places to be if you wanna attract 20, 25-year-olds, which as you're getting rid of the boomers, maybe you should hire a bunch of those guys. So, do you think that social media has, you know these big platforms, they deliver on their potential for employers in 2021 or still underutilized?Thad: I think they're probably still underutilized. I think it's changing, but at the end of the day I think it's about what a company is advertising, and how they're treating their employees, honestly, and pay. When we surveyed users, jobseekers before, we found a couple things that are important. The first is pay, of course, how much they're making, how much an individual is making, and the second is flexibility, and the third usually benefits. And the flexibility piece is huge which is one of the reasons why I think these marketplaces are providing a lot of value to workers because they create flexibility. Now, what I think happens is as employers look at this and say, well, how do I provide flexibility within my ecosystem and within my company, then I think that there's a big question mark of making that choice. Am I using a marketplace to find work or am I working for Target, and I have flexibility as an example, or UPS or FedEx or others? So, I do think there's this huge shift that's happening and it's all about what jobseekers really want and you have to ensure that you're aligned with what jobseekers want because there's more opportunity than ever in the labor market.Max: And now is different than last year, right, because last year was about everybody wants security and so, the gig took a hit in a way because the companies refocused their attention and their resources on full-time permanent staff.Thad: Yeah, absolutely.Max: Now is the freedom years.Thad: The other piece of this is kind of the no-contact experience as well that's essentially happening with some of the marketplaces. Now, I'm not saying that there's no contact, but if you think of someone that is delivering for one of the marketplaces, for an example, there's definitely less contact delivering for marketplaces on your doorstep than a cashier in a grocery store. And I think that's another piece of this as well, we have to think about rational behavior. And a lot of these is taking a step back and looking at your company and putting yourself in the jobseekers' shoes and saying, what is rational behavior? And I think if we do that as an industry, we can see a lot of insights into, you know, as people make this choice, this calculated choice, what's really happening.Max: Yeah, it's always a good wake-up call to apply for a few jobs yourself and kind of walk in the shoes of the candidates, for sure. Well, thanks for these great market insights and reminding us that this year is very different than last, and we need to move faster and adapt in order to remain attractive. One question that I love to ask everybody who comes on the show is to talk about recruitment and people that you've hired yourself. Everybody makes hiring mistakes once in a while because of various cognitive biases or bad luck or God knows what. I'd like you to walk us through one of those painful experiences, if you can remember a wrongful hire you've made, some time in your past, it can be a buried memory. But share with me and our audience, what was the mistake that you've made?Thad: Great question. So, I would say that when you're thinking about hiring, the number one key is culture alignment, and when I say culture alignment, you know we spend a lot of time as leaders ensuring that we have the right culture, and we have the right way in which we lead the company in so many different directions. Really, it's the alignment piece that's really important, in one direction. And when I've made a bad hiring decisions in the past, it's usually been because from a cultural perspective. We weren't aligned, whatever that may be. And one of things that we did as a team to ensure culture alignment is we basically created a list of situational experiences that all of us have had, and we went through this situational experience and had our team just talk through how would you handle this situation. And these aren't recruiting experiences, these are actual life experiences.Max: I get that, I get that. Somebody on the show recently said, you found a wallet in the shopping mall, what do you do with it? That kind of stuff. That was for security guards.Thad: One of the ones that we have is, and this actually happened to me, I was at a dinner. I just moved to Austin, probably about 7 years ago. I was out at dinner, and I walked into the restaurant and there was a sign that said, please lock up your valuables, right. And I didn't pay any attention to it because it's a sign on a restaurant that says, please lock up your valuables. So, I had a great dinner, get back to the car, and that my car and my window is smashed, and my laptop bag is stolen in the back of the, it was in my back seat. It wasn't in my trunk, but it was in the back seat. So, one of things that happened to me was I said, “Well this was my stupid mistake because I should've hid my laptop bag.” And so, that's an example of one of this experiences that we talk to our candidates about and say, you know, what do you think about this situation? What's the impact to the restaurant, what's the impact to you, what's the impact to the person that smashed the window? And it's a great conversation to ensure to, you know, not that there's a right answer, but it's a great conversation to ensure how people [overlap]Max: There must be a right answer but maybe you don't wanna share on the show.Thad: All right, my right answer is, I shouldn't have left the laptop bag in the back seat. I'm taking responsibility for it. So, responsibility is important. Those are the types of experiences that we've used to ensure that we're aligned culturally with our team. And we look at all these things to gather and develop what needs to be a part of Talroo and what's important and ensure we're moving the ball forward.Max: Great example, thank you. No matter how great your technology becomes in Talroo, and how advanced our technology with conversational AI gets. They will never replace a good interview question like this with situational discussion about how would you react if this happens. So, the job of recruiters is safe for as long as we live.Thad: I always say to our team, you can't take the human out of human resources, and I think that's a great line to think about.Max: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Great. That will be your closing statement, Thad. Thanks for coming to the show.Thad: Thank you very much, Max. Thanks for having me. Take care. Max: That was Todd price, CEO of Talroo reminding us that flexibility is a very popular thing these days. In fact, a top three demand from candidates at the moment.So if your company can offer flexibility, make sure to put it front and center in your ads and your marketing, it will give you an edge on the war for talent. Hope you enjoyed it and that you'll be back for more. Remember to subscribe.
