This episode of Talking Talent was created in honor of International Women’s Day, March 8. We reached out to our diverse group of female leaders at PeopleScout. We heard from women from all around the world and at all levels of the company – from executive leaders to team leaders and managers – about what it means to be a woman in leadership in 2021, how they got there and how to create work environments where even more women can succeed.

Women in Leadership: What it Means to Lead in 2021

In this episode, we’re talking about talent acquisition market trends. 

After one unprecedented year, we’re now living through another. Cases of COVID-19 are falling, vaccinations are rising and employers are hiring again. How is all of this impacting talent programs like RPO?

Joining me to talk about this is George Tate, PeopleScout’s Senior Vice President of business development. George is a reputable sales leader with more than two decades of experience in human capital management technology. George has built top-notch, high-growth sales teams in the enterprise, mid-market and small business segments.

Communication and the Candidate Experience with Jose Carbia of Change Healthcare

In this episode of Talking Talent, we’re going deep on an issue that is top of mind for so many employers: diversity, equity and inclusion. 

This episode specifically focuses on building an employer brand and a recruitment process that is equitable and inclusive of candidates form underrepresented backgrounds. What are the best strategies? How can you build a process that takes things like intersectionality and social mobility into account? And finally, how do you get the buy-in within your organization to make changes—especially in a challenging hiring environment?

Joining us to talk about these issues is Paula Simmons, our Director of Employer Brand & Communications Strategy.

Talking Talent: Building an Inclusive and Equitable Employer Brand and Recruitment Process

In this episode, we’re talking about talent technology and specifically about finding that perfect balance between a high-tech process and the human touch. How can you create the best possible experience for candidates, recruiters and hiring managers? How can you make sure that your recruitment process accurately reflects your employer brand? Joining us is Rick Betori, PeopleScout’s managing director of the Americas.

Talent Technology and the Human Touch: Building a Balanced Recruitment Process

In this episode of Talking Talent, we’re talking about unconscious bias and the role that it plays in the recruitment process. As employers work to build processes that are inclusive and equitable, talent leaders need to confront the effects of these biases. That means understanding where they come from, what they look like and where they can pop up. Back on the podcast for this conversation is Simon Wright, PeopleScout’s  Global Head of Talent Advisory Consulting.

Reducing Unconscious Bias for an Inclusive Recruitment Process

One of the biggest make-or-break factors in today’s talent market is simple, but difficult to execute—speed. In a talent market where job postings outnumber job-seekers and future uncertainty still plagues employers, speed can be the deciding factor in whether your organization has enough workers, as well as the best talent and the ability to respond to changing market conditions.  In this episode, PeopleScout's Rick Betori joins us to talk about how an RPO provider can provide the speed you need to survive in today's talent market.

Talent at the Speed of RPO

Joining this episode to discuss these issues is Rick Betori, PeopleScout’s Managing Director of the Americas.

Maximizing Recruitment Success with Global Teams

In this episode we’re talking about how to determine which metrics you should use to drive and define success in your RPO program. Joining us to discuss is Stephen Carlson, vice president of client delivery at PeopleScout. In this conversation, Stephen shares why some the typical metrics that you’re tracking are actually vanity metrics. He outlines how you can dig deeper to find the right metrics within your program to identify opportunities for improvement and take action.

Vanity Metrics vs. Sanity Metrics in RPO

As we start 2023, global economic uncertainty remains; so, in this episode of Talking Talent, we’re taking a look at how labor market trends are impacting different regions around the globe. 

Over the past three years, we’ve heard a lot of the same words and phrases repeatedly: unprecedented, uncertainty, new normal and the list goes on. We would all prefer if these words stop echoing around in the backs of our minds, but we’re not there yet.

However, if we look at what is happening in different regions around world, we can gain a better understanding of where we stand globally. What are the biggest challenges and opportunities? What can we learn from each other?

In this episode, we hear from three of PeopleScout’s senior leaders, Managing Director of the Americas, Rick Betori, UK Managing Director and Head of EMEA Operational Delivery, Jon Porter, and Managing Director of APAC, Tim Powell.

Rethinking Early Careers: Strategies for Graduate Recruitment in 2023

In this episode of Talking Talent with PeopleScout, we're focusing on the importance of hiring people with disabilities and how you can create and execute an effective program that serves candidates of all abilities. 

The week of March 13 is Neurodiversity Celebration Week, challenging stereotypes and misconceptions about neurological differences in transforming how neurodivergent individuals are perceived and supported. It's a week to recognize the many talents and advantages of being neurodivergent while creating more inclusive and equitable cultures, and employers have a role. While not all people with disabilities are neurodivergent and not all neurodivergent people have disabilities, it is important for employers to understand how to best support these candidates and employees.

Joining to discuss this topic is Tim Powell, PeopleScout managing director of APAC.

COVID-19 Series: What Work Means Now

In this episode, we talk about preparing for recovery. We don’t know exactly what the economic recovery will look like, but we do know that employers are facing a very different talent landscape than before the pandemic – and many have leaner talent acquisition teams. 

Joining the podcast for this discussion is PeopleScout Client Portfolio Leader Chris Gould.

COVID-19 Series: Preparing for Recovery and Hiring in Uncertain Times

Despite the challenges of 2020, there is a silver lining for employers. This year has created one of the best hiring markets that employers have seen in a long time. At the end of 2019, employers were facing skills shortages and record low unemployment; it was difficult to find candidates for almost any role. Now, there are a vast number of top-tier candidates who are looking for new jobs.

But, those in-demand candidates won’t stay on the market forever and the employers that start hiring now will have a competitive advantage: They’ll be able to capture those high-caliber workers first.

So, how do you get ahead? We asked PeopleScout Vice President of Global Growth Operations and Solution Design, Krista Sullivan de Torres, to talk about how employers can capitalize on the current talent market.

COVID-19 Series: How to Capitalize on an Uncertain Talent Market

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues and talent leaders around the world respond to the constant uncertainty, many are partnering with RPO and technology providers. Meanwhile, hiring and technology needs are changing quickly and frequently, which necessitates a nimble partner who can scale quickly. However, the days of implementing new programs in the traditional ways are over. Specifically, there are no days-long, in-person kickoffs or hands-on, face-to-face trainings. Now, it’s all virtual.

At PeopleScout, Emily Gordon has risen to the challenge of building partnerships and implementing new talent programs without even a handshake. She has more than 21 years of experience in talent acquisition and has overseen sourcing, continual process improvement and client implementations. In particular, her expertise is in transitions, process improvement, team building, client relationship development and operational delivery.

COVID-19 Series: How the Pandemic Impacts Talent Program Implementation

In a hurricane, tornado or other catastrophic event across the American south, the Waffle House is one of the last or only businesses that remains open. The concept is so famous that FEMA has used the Waffle House Index for the last decade when assessing the severity of storms.

How does the restaurant chain do it? And how can you replicate that idea?

Our panelists are Jen Torres, Senior Vice President of Client Delivery at PeopleScout; David Corrigan, Business Development Manager at PeopleScout; and Nicki Chipp-Flohr, Vice President of Strategic Accounts at PeopleReady.
