Listen Later

Have you ever wondered how your recruitment process could be transformed for the better?

In today's dynamic business landscape, where time is of the essence and competition for top talent is fierce, traditional recruitment methods may fall short of meeting the demands of modern organizations. But what if there was a way to streamline and optimize the entire process? What if technology could revolutionize the way companies attract, assess, and hire candidates?

Today on "Recruiting is No Joke," we shift our focus to the Unleash conference, where we engage with some of the brightest minds in the recruitment industry. In this episode, we are thrilled to share the wealth of knowledge and insights from representatives from UPS, Medtronic, and Rockwell Automation (Matt, Mark and Patrick).

In our conversation, Matt discusses the benefits of using Fountain for recruitment automation and enhancing candidate experience. Mark Smith from Medtronic shares insights on skills-based hiring, recruiting from non-traditional backgrounds for roles requiring dexterity, and fostering an inclusive culture. He also talks about leveraging AI to improve recruitment processes. Patrick Fenn from Rockwell Automation describes his journey in recruitment and his role in hiring for the company. The episode delves into the use of technology in recruitment and the importance of employer branding.
