Ep 708: Winning Talent When Markets Freeze


Listen Later

Recruiting Future is a podcast that helps Talent Acquisition teams drive measurable impact by developing their strategic capability in Foresight, Influence, Talent, and Technology. 


This episode is about talent.


Economic uncertainty and disruption has reached a whole new level in 2025, with companies freezing hiring plans and candidates hesitating to make career moves. But if talent attraction strategies fail during market volatility, how can organizations that need scarce and specialized talent survive and thrive? 


So, when candidate markets are tight, how can TA teams turn uncertainty into opportunity?


My guest this week is Dave Napeloni, Senior Vice President of Global Life Sciences at Korn Ferry. Dave's team is helping life sciences companies navigate talent scarcity by transforming how they engage with candidates during economic disruption. Dave has valuable insights to share, on effective talent engagement and pipeline building, that are changing how organizations compete for talent in these uncertain times.


In the interview, we discuss

  • The talent market challenges in Life Sciences

    • Dealing with long-term uncertainty 
      • The impact on candidate behavior
        • How successful companies are using volatility as a competitive advantage 
          • The critical importance of EVPs and employer branding
            • Building candidate engagement through purpose-driven messaging
              • Extending the role of TA beyond onboarding and into talent management
                • How AI can radically improve the candidate experience
                  • What the future might look like
