EP 11- Katherine Eriksen, VP Business Development, Energy Resourcing Canada, LTD: Refining the Remote Working Model
When it comes to the world of Global Recruitment, you'll find many people that have one thing in common……..they simply fell into this very unique world. Today's guest has served in the recruitment industry for over 22 years as a corporate recruiter, HR, agency recruiter, working in the United States, and abroad.
Katherine Eriksen is VP of Business Development and Global Recruiting for Energy Resourcing, LTD Canada. She cites her lengthy career as one of fortune and regards it with a great deal of gratitude. She recently transplanted from Calgary, Canada to Toronto.
Today's episode brings a breadth of experience, knowledge, wisdom, and insight that spans well beyond a 22-year career. Katherine dives heavily into the current nature of the industry being very remote, in this post-pandemic world. She cites missing the in-person collaborations on whiteboards, the social aspects as a team, and her desire to get back to some semblance of normalcy. Suky comes in hard with great questions in terms of what a company's responsibilities are when it comes to relocation, managing expectations of employees as it pertains to hybrid versus in-office mandates that often come up in negotiations. They discuss salary expectations and the realities of how companies are looking at the experience level of each candidate and matching them with an appropriate compensation structure.

- Suky shares how she got rung by a client who was approached with the request of a salary, not in sync with the candidate's experience
