Drive Thru HR

There’s a cliché which, as with many clichés, has some modicum of truth ---- HR professionals are the least prepared for the hiring process. As candidates they don’t have updated resumes and lack self-awareness. When hiring their “own” (i.e. another HR professional) they have unrealistic expectations and over-think the process. These two sides collide and chaos ensues: HR candidates get frustrated and HR leaders take-forever-to-fill-their-HR-positions.

Today's guest sees this first-hand. Laura Mazzulo is the Founder/Owner of East Side Staffing and specializes in the placement of HR professionals. 

Join Robin and Mike for a lively chat with Laura as we discuss the continuing evolution of the HR profession and Laura shares some tips from the candidate AND the hiring manager side to make the experience successful for everyone.

HR leaders have experienced a seismic shift as the role of the human resources leader has evolved to one that is truly collaborative and advisory. Long gone are the days when HR merely showed up, ticked off the boxes, and called it a day. (because yes...those days did exist....).

Join us as Robin and Mike talk with Kindrick Benoit, HR and Diversity Manager with SCP Health, about HR’s role as a change agent, how to build and maintain collaborative relationships with other leaders, and the critical importance of diversity and inclusion in today’s organizations.

Lane Sutton is a marketing and employer brand strategist, speaker, recent graduate and Recruitment Marketing team at what he calls a  "humble retailer you may have heard of."  What drives him? A passion for building relationships, making marketing lovable, spreading inbound to recruiting, the consumer experience, and connecting people with brands through content, strategy, and telling a story.

Lane shares, "Maya Angelou once said 'people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.' That's true brand and experience."

The early story: In his single-digit years, Lane realized business and marketing was his thing. While most kids his age were playing sports, business was his sport. After his share of lemonade stands, he started a blog reviewing products, movies, and restaurants at age 11. That got him his first social media consulting gig and speaking engagement at age 12. His first job was at HubSpot when I was 16. Since then, I've been transforming how brands attract people with some very recognizable brands.  Learn about what's keeping him up at night (hint: it's job ads!) on this "double episode" of DriveThru HR.

Rayanne Thorn Krueger joins us to talk about working with vendors, and why HR Practitioners are so important to their success.

Katrina Kibben, CEO of Three Ears Media, joins Crystal and Dwane on the DriveThru.  Katrina teaches recruiters to be better writers. That whole "best in class" thing? Katrina helps your team create it through custom training, assessments and content creation services that help hiring leaders understand how to tell the story and translate employee voices into creative recruiting activities.

Katrina is a storyteller. A tactical problem solver. A curious mind. A data nerd. For most of her career, she's been a marketer living in a recruiter's world - listening to both sides of the talent equation to understand issues and conceptualize solutions for recruiting and hiring better people. Today, she does all of that at her own company, Three Ears Media.

Katrina is also a tireless LGBTQ advocate for people everywhere so having her on today, on National Coming Out Day, makes a lot of sense in more ways than one.  Read more about her stories on Coming Out, They Won't Hire People Like Me, Don't Ask Don't Tell at Work, and What's Not Okay to Ask a LGBT Co-Worker and listen to us tackle how we're still falling short on taking people for who are and what we need to do about it.

This week, we take a look at automation and communications, as well as taking a look back at HR Tech 2019.

Join Crystal as she talks to Steven Rothberg, Founder of COLLEGE RECRUITER.  Steven’s entrepreneurial spirit was evident from an early age. Disciplined in fifth grade for selling candy during math class and in college for running a massive fantasy hockey league (who maintains a friendly rivalry with DTHR Co-Host Dwane Lay), Steven managed to channel his passions into something more productive after graduate school.  A fully recovered lawyer, Steven founded the business that morphed into College Recruiter and now, as it's visionary, helps to create and refine the company’s strategy and leads its business development efforts.

Steven has been widely quoted by local, regional, national and international media including NBC Nightly News, MSNBC's Dylan Ratigan Show, U.S. News & World Report, Bloomberg, Wall Street Journal, Chicago Tribune, USA Today, FOX & Friends, and CNN. Steven was named by Mashable as one of the 20 top people for job seekers to follow on Twitter, by Fast Company magazine as a "Top 50 online influencer", and LinkedIn as having a profile which was one of the top one percent most viewed. 

Steven believes that every student and recent graduate deserves a great career.  He also believes every organization should understand programmatic advertising and the impact it can have on an organization's diversity & inclusion hiring efforts.  In part 1 of this 2 part series with Crystal and Steven, they will be talking about:

What programmatic isHow it works The state of semi-transparency with many job boards and media outlets

HR practitioners love hockey.  At least the ones on this show do!

Join Michael as he talks to Juliana Stancampiano, author of RADICAL OUTCOMES.  Julianna is an entrepreneur and the CEO of Oxygen. For more than fifteen years, she has worked with Fortune 500 companies, both in them and for them. Her firm’s clients include Microsoft, DXC, Delta Dental (of WA), Starbucks, F5 Networks, Avaya, and Western Digital, among others. Her in-depth experience, along with the research that Oxygen conducts and the articles she has published, has helped to shape the perspective that Oxygen embraces. 

Learning and development is a $140 billion business, but much of that money is wasted on ineffective programs that don’t deliver the training that today’s employees need, according to our guest Juliana Stancampiano.

“There’s no doubt that everyone in business must have a continually-evolving skill set,” says Stancampiano.  “Customers have increasingly high expectations, and meeting those expectations demands the ability to leverage evolving technologies and new ways of working,” she explains.  But all too often, organizations send their staffs to five-day training courses or assign them multiple online learning modules that fail to create measurable results. 

What we will be talking about:

Why training may not be the only solution when companies are facing tough challenges

What types of training will work in today’s data-driven business world 

What you need to know about “your audience” in order to create effective programs

How to develop interactive training that engages employees

Why focusing on outcomes is the key to building useful programs
