Tony Le is the Senior Director of Global Talent Acquisition at Getaround—an online, peer-to-peer car-sharing service that’s based in San Francisco and available across the United States and Europe. He has over fifteen years of experience with full life-cycle recruitment, employee relations, organizational development, diversity, and—last but not least—employee training programs, which will be the focus of our seventh episode.

Topics of discussion include the cost benefits of sourcing talent internally, employee retention, how to market training programs internally and measure their performance, and why tactful, careful communication is an essential soft skill for TA leaders.

Episode 7—Why Companies Should Offer Employee Training Programs

Have you ever left a job and later wished you could return? Or maybe you’ve experienced what it’s like to lose a great employee, knowing if they ever asked to come back you’d extend the opportunity without hesitation. If so, this episode of the Hiring Success podcast is for you. 

James Sinclair, founder and chief executive of EnterpriseAlumni, joins us for a discussion about corporate alumni programs. They enable large organizations such as the Lufthansa Group, Nestle, HSBC, P&G, and LinkedIn to actively engage and harness the power of their corporate alumni for a variety of purposes including talent acquisition, business development, mentoring, and more.

The argument for having corporate alumni programs in place is certainly convincing. According to James, alumni and alumni referrals are the number one and two sources of new hires for the majority of companies—career boards are number six. Additionally, alumni and alumni referrals stay on board, on average, two years longer than other hires.

Over the last several years, recruiting as a function has evolved from being a position tasked with filling open requisitions quickly and cheaply to being a strategic position tasked with helping businesses navigate the war for talent by hiring amazing talent efficiently, strategically, and on demand. In order for recruiters to deliver such outcomes, it’s become necessary for them to think and behave like marketers. 

In this episode, we’re joined by SmartRecruiters’ founder & CEO, Jerome Ternynck. He explains why recruiters and talent acquisition leaders need marketing skill sets to be successful—in particular knowledge of market segmentation. To help hiring teams navigate that process, Ternynck outlines what’s known as the Talent Scarcity-Impact Framework, a model he designed to help companies better prioritize the positions for which they’re hiring.

Episode 11—Recruiting in a Recession

The author Maya Angelou once said, “If you don’t know where you’ve come from, you can’t know where you’re going.”

This is true for individuals and companies alike. Whether it’s the entire business, or individual functions like sales, marketing, or talent acquisition—the road to improvement is paved with lessons learned. 

Sometimes, learning those lessons is the hardest part—unless, of course, you surround yourself with the right people to help you understand where you’ve come from and to guide you in the right direction going forward. 

Our guest for Episode 12 is Rebecca Carr, Senior Vice President of Growth & Hiring Success at SmartRecruiters. Rebecca and her team of Hiring Success consultants empower companies to optimize their hiring outcomes through careful assessment and strategic consulting.

She joins us to talk about the first step in that process—The Hiring Success Business Assessment—and why it’s actually a rewarding experience to embrace the struggle.
