Ep 533: Engaging With Top Talent

Despite months of layoffs and challenging economic news, engaging with top talent is still very hard. It's even harder if you are hiring for an employer with very little profile or brand awareness in your target talent markets. So what strategies are employers using to engage with top talent, and what lessons can large enterprises learn from small and agile start-ups when it comes to storytelling and the effective use of tech stacks? My guest this week is George Morriss, Head of Talent Acquisition at Lindus Health. George has vast experience in building hiring strategies for high-growth start-ups and has practical advice to share on how TA Leaders should respond to the disruption we see in the market. In the interview, we discuss: Market recalibration Why engaging with top talent is still so difficult Recruiting with no employer brand Consistency of storytelling The balance between resonance and hyperbole Transparency in the hiring process Candidate experience as a point of difference How to deal with an overwhelming choice of technology Building a tech stack with tools to solve specific challenges Interview training Minimizing the administrative burden on recruiters Lessons from start-ups How should TA leaders prepare themselves for the future?
