We've really enjoyed publishing this audio-only podcast in partnership with the good folks at Evergreen, but all good things must come to an end. Or, in this case, not really come to an end but change and move. Kind of like when teenagers (finally!) move out of the house. But we digress. We're moving to a video, live-stream format even though the people who know us best repeatedly tell us that we have faces for radio. We're happy to notify you when we're up-and-running in April 2023.

Adam Gordon has been in recruitment for 23 years and was the founder of the first recruitment automation solution, Candidate.ID, which he sold to iCIMS in March 2022. Adam then became the Vice President of Marketing Automation Technology for iCIMS. Adam is also the Co-Host of Recruiting Brainfood. Candidate.ID, recently re-named to iCIMS Marketing Automation, allows talent acquisition teams to become far more efficient and effective in getting their employment brands and opportunities in front of candidates. Instead of blasting the same email to all candidates, marketing automation systems like Marketo, Pardot, and iCIMS Marketing Automation automatically send different emails to different candidates depending on factors such as which emails they open and when, which links within those emails they click, and what content on the career site they engage with. Recruiters are notified when a candidate of interest then engages with enough of the right contact so recruiters get to spend far more of their time with candidates who are already interested, instead of having to first determine which candidates might be interested.

In short, instead of focusing on the education or experience that the candidate has achieved, Lou favors a performance-based approach where candidates are selected based on their proven ability to do the work.

Select Software Reviews maps each HR and recruiting software category (from ATS to AI) to identify the best vendors, questions to ask on demos, how to think about ROI, implementation best practices, and more. If you're looking to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of your high-volume hiring efforts through the addition of new software or other automation, this is an episode that you won't want to miss as you'll learn from Phil how they identify potential vendors to review, the process they follow when reviewing those, and how you as a potential customer of those vendors can make the best use of those reviews.

Bill Boorman calls himself a recovering recruiter. He has 40 years of experience in the industry, is strategic consultant to a number of talent acquisition technology companies, and was the founder of the Tru unconferences. Employers may be surprised at some of what Bill has to say, including that the process of hiring people -- high volume or not -- is remarkably similar around the world but with some local nuances. Even more surprising, however, is the discussion on how unimportant an employer's brand is to a candidate deciding what jobs to apply to, yet that doesn't mean that the brand is unimportant. It is important, but not until much later in the hiring process than many employers have been led to believe.

Dr. Gibson addresses some of the biggest myths and fallacies about pre-hire assessments. This is a can't miss episode if you're frustrated with the assessments you're using, interested in the massive changes to how assessments are now designed and being used, or concerned that adding one will make it harder for you to hire the people you need as quickly as you need them.

No organization recruits, trains, and works to retain talent at the scale of the military, including the U.S. Army and other branches. But as robots and other forms of automation become more prevalent in every day society and on the battlefield, are we about to see a massive change in how the military recruits? Will the number of soldiers plummet? Today's guest, Chad Sowash of The Chad and Cheese Podcast, describes his military experience including being in combat in Panama and, later, as a drill sergeant training troops who would later serve in Afganistan, Iraq, and elsewhere. Chad's perspective as a proud veteran of the Army and two decades in sales and thought leadership in the HR tech space makes him the perfect guest as we talk through how automation is impacting the high volume hiring that is so integral to the military of every nation.

Conventional wisdom says that the lower a position appears on an organization chart, the worse that organization treats the applicants for that role. The candidates receive little to no personalized attention, are forced to interact with dehumanizing technology, and often hear nothing back if they're not hired and, sometimes, not even after they've applied. Yet, research from The Talent Board indicates the opposite: candidates who are applying to early career roles with employers who are hiring at scale are reporting better candidate experiences than those applying to roles with more requirements and which are less likely to be a part of a high volume hiring program. Today's guest, Kevin Grossman, is the President of the Talent Board, a non-profit that has used a carrot instead of stick approach to encouraging employers to deliver a better candidate experience. In this episode, Kevin discusses what today's hourly candidates are experiencing including their communications with employers, how many minutes it takes to apply to an average role, and why some employers are having an easier time than others attracting the candidates they need both in terms of quality and quantity. The answers may surprise you.
