Humanizing Recruiting with Sara Fatima of Verifone

Sara Fatima, Head of Global Talent Acquisition at Verifone joins host Ryan Dull on this episode of the Talent Acquisition Leaders podcast to talk about her career journey; how Covid has affected the TA landscape; and how storytelling through social media can be a powerful tool for organizations to personalize the experience candidates have with them during the hiring process.

Sara got her degree thinking computer science was going to be her career path. She wanted to interact with people, which eventually led to her starting in talent acquisition.

Her time in corporate recruiting has included stops at Autotrader, Cox Automotive, IBM, and now Verifone, where she was tasked with the big job of bringing a global recruiting system, which had always been outsourced, in-house.

Covid has been challenging for all TA professionals, and Sara has the additional challenge of hiring in 65 different countries. She talks about the strategic approach they are taking to be intentional about how their team members will work in a post-pandemic environment.

Sara also talks about the Great Resignation, and how she thinks of it as an opportunity to rebrand their organization to make it more attractive for candidates.
