Listen Later

"Corporate trust is low and employees are more focused on their own skill growth and career advancement" - This is what we dissect today in our conversation with @RealestRecruiter, Joel Lalgee. Nothing is off limits - we talk culture, loyalty, skill growth, the fractional mindset, compensation, why employers hate side hustles, toxic work environments...


We cover it all.


Takeaways

  • Corporate trust is low and employees are more focused on their own skill growth and career advancement.
  • The younger generation entering the workforce has a more fractional mindset, valuing skills and time over long-term loyalty to a single company.
  • Traditional interview questions often force candidates to lie about their motivations, and companies should be more transparent and flexible in their approach to culture.
  • Compensation is a key factor for employees, and companies need to understand and meet their financial expectations. Side hustles should be seen as a normal part of work, not something to be demonized.
  • Employer branding should focus on attracting the right people and repelling those who are not a good fit.
  • Recruiters should prioritize being advocates for candidates and providing transparency throughout the process.
  • Focusing on quantity over quality in recruitment can lead to poor outcomes and dissatisfaction.
  • Authentic and unpolished content is often more engaging and relatable than highly produced content.
