Episode 29: Chris Gould of PeopleScout and Jennifer Huelsmann of EXL: Hiring Reimagined for Covid

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. Other Topics Discussed: Utilizing technology to remove bias and make hiring more efficient and safer Changes in sourcing tools and techniques Innovative ways to connect with university students Impact of video interviewing on speed and cost to hire Strengthening communication through the digital tools Connect with our ERE High Volume Recruiting Speakers Chris Gould - https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrisjgould/?jobid=1234 Jennifer Huelsmann - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jennifer-huelsmann-042b6b/?jobid=1234 Connect with Erin Peterson Erin is a global Talent Acquisition Consultant, Interim Leader, and RPO Advisor with PeopleResults.
