HR Interviews Playlist

We talk about SMBs approach to AI and how it impacts learning, bias and transparency.

What do front-line and deskless workers need – and want – from their technology?

Not sure if you’ve heard or not, but recruiting and retaining healthcare professionals is a hot topic these days. No one has really figured out the secret sauce or found the magic bullet. That’s why Chad & Cheese sat down with Angad Madra, director HR technology and analytics at Ardent Healthcare, at iCIMS Inspire in San Diego. On this episode, get ready to snack on a tasty dose of healthcare recruitment, best retention practices and impact of the gig economy. Your blood pressure is sure to normalize after this one if you’ve been stressed about hiring in this sector.

Live from UNLEASH America in the Workhuman booth, Julia Levy, industry veteran, superfan of the podcast, and former head of global talent acquisition at CommScope, join the boys for conference takeaways, the current state of recruiting, and how organizations can best adapt to change in a world that, let’s face it, has gone a bit nutso. Indeed mirage products, LinkedIn just doesn't care, and Talent Acquisition trying to remove business and budget blockers.

Recognition and technology, what managers think of these newfangled tools, and getting whiplash from following the business world.

In this episode, Jackye flies solo with Michelle Rhee. Michelle Rhee is cofounder of BuildWithin, a software platform that provides employers with the ability to create and manage apprenticeship and employee learning programs covering everything from software development to digital marketing. There are currently more than 40,000 people across the US using the BuildWithin platform.

After nearly 20 years of working in educational nonprofits and later serving as DC’s first Chancellor of the 50,000+ student public school district, Michelle is uniquely familiar with the educational and workforce development needs required by today’s companies – especially as AI transforms the workplace and the cost of a college degree continues to price out the average minimum-wage earner. Michelle is especially passionate about modern tech apprenticeships and how they are being used to bring marginalized people (e.g., people of color, retirees, neuro-diverse, veterans, etc.) into the technology workforce and provide a reliable pathway to the middle class.

DEI in technology, good news and bad news for underrepresented groups, and the impact of salary transparency.

AI has dominated the discussion for months now, and if recent conversations are anything to go by, this shows no sign of letting up. However, the initial hysteria is fading, and the hype is slowly turning into meaningful discussions about what the AI-driven future will look like.

So what is the potential of AI in TA and HR, what are the current benefits, and perhaps most importantly, what are the risks? I was keen to get the perspectives of a Chief People Officer on all of this, so I'm delighted that my guest this week is Geri Morgan, Chief People Officer at Intellum. Gerri has some excellent advice to share and even got ChatGPT to actively participate in our conversation!

In the interview, we discuss:

• What aspects of employer engagement will benefit from AI?

• Personalization

• The opportunities AI offers HR

• Tech for tasks - AI as our new co-worker

• What are the current use cases?

• Compliance, ethics, and legislation

• Keeping the momentum of innovation going

• Mitigating risk

• Building out AI-enabled processes

• What does the future look like for HR?

This week Ilya Brotzky from VanHack joins us and there is lots to celebrate.

As they round the corner to nearly 2,000 hires and the VC market fell in love with what they do and how they are doing it with a $3M funding.

As a champion for improvement to immigration, Ilya explains the Canadian tech talent strategy announcements made by Sean Frazer Minister of Immigration for Canada at the Collision conference in Toronto.

• Ilya shares his journey and some key announcements to Canada’s immigration policy.

• STEM talent gets express entry

• Processing times for work permits are improving

• Entrepreneurs coming to Canada get the red carpet

• The digital nomad visa, everyone wins! 

• We debate the idea of 10,000 H1B visa holders making their way north to Canada, perhaps motivated by the 50 year wait for a green card

Automated sourcing, referrals and analytics are all pretty popular features to have in your tech stack these days, but what about a startup that delivers - or at least hopes to deliver - all these things. That’s where newbie Kula comes in. Achu Ravi, founder & CEO of the company that is “On a mission to turn every employee into a recruiter” takes on the Firing Squad in this episode. A bold undertaking, and barely out of diapers, Kula has raised nearly $15M dollars to take on the world but let's see if they can even get past The Squad.
