This week: Paradox raises $200 million in Series C funding, Korn Ferry launches intelligence platform and more.

When I launched this podcast almost six years ago, I had an expectation that I was in it for the long haul, but I couldn't have imagined that 400 episodes later, I would be publishing two episodes a week, and the audience would still be growing. Thank you for listening and for your support; it means so much to me.

In keeping with the show's theme for this 400th episode, I want to look forward and not backwards. 2021 has been a year for talent acquisition like no other, and I believe we are seeing trends emerge that will shape recruiting for the next decade or more.

I've had some fantastic guests on the show this year, and I wanted to showcase highlights from five interviews that shine a light on some of the innovations and trends that have made 2021 so important, and that will, in turn, have a significant impact in 2022.

Interviews featured in this episode:

Ep 333: Automation, Simplicity and Experience

Ep 331: Transforming Recruitment Marketing

Future Live: DE&I

Ep 395: The Challenges Of Recruiting Recruiters

Ep 375: The Magic Of Behavioural Science
