With tech layoffs dominating the news headlines in recent months, the availability of talent has increased, however it’s still a tight labor market in most countries, and it continues to be difficult to hire great talent. For many organisations, it can require thinking outside the box. In this episode of the Shortlist, we’re going to examine the benefits of hiring globally and how this can be a game changer for many organizations. The added value that international talent can bring to an organisation is significant in terms of skills, experience and international exposure as well as increased diversity and greater innovation.

The core belief of diversity, equity, and inclusion is that people deserve to be treated fairly. However, all too often the onus of this falls on the individual to advocate for themselves, speak up, and fight for the recognition, change, and fairness we all deserve. Especially in the workplace. Imagine a world where this becomes less of an upward battle and more of a partnership between leadership and individual employees. Joining us on The Shortlist to dive deep into this is My-Chau Matrick. My-Chau is a friend of SocialTalent and Leader of the Join & Connect Ops Program and Change at Cisco. Together, we’ll discuss the importance of diversity in leadership and the role it plays in creating opportunities for our employees. We’ll also discuss the power of human connection in the workplace. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/socialtalent/message

The war for talent continues to rage on and organizations are trying to stand out and rise above the noise. But as the landscape of work has changed dramatically over the last few years, so too has the approach to Talent Acquisition. So how do you manage TA sourcing across multiple regions? How do you build a reputation for hiring when your employer’s brand perception varies so much from country to country? Joining us on The Shortlist to chat about this is Gui de Souza Neves, Global Talent Acquisition Sourcing & Solutions Manager at Nestlé. Gui has been working with Nestlé since 2005 and has spent his career to date in HR. During this time, he has not only progressed through various different HR job roles but has also relocated from Brazil to Europe. Today, he is responsible for Nestlé’s Talent Acquisition process, known as TA Solutions, as well as managing TA Sourcing across 3 different regional centres. When lockdown hit, he also somehow found the time to set up LGBT Mentoring, a not-for-profit with over 60 mentors, providing support to those people in search of jobs in the LGTBQ+ community. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/socialtalent/message

Over the next few months, we will introduce our new Leadership authors on the Shortlist to uncover the challenges facing new managers and how these challenges can be overcome. As we gain more responsibilities as individuals in any organization, boundary setting is essential but our dominant culture is not set up to respect boundaries. How can we learn to set and respect boundaries? We often talk about impostor syndrome or the inner critic; the desire to feel less visible, less vulnerable, less exposed. The inner critic craves safety. But being vulnerable and taking risks is essential for growth. How can you balance your inner critic with the desire for personal growth? Here to tell us how is leadership coach, facilitator and inclusion consultant, Debbie Dannon. Debbie has created her own leadership framework, Rebel Leadership, where she builds moral leadership grounded in authenticity, balance and courage. Her Rebel Leadership framework encourages us to rebel against cultural norms and expectations, to flip the script and to understand our need and desire to survive. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/socialtalent/message
