HR Jacob Darr

In today’s webinar episode, we’re going to hear about leadership and development. It’s critical in human resources and business, but even more so in your personal life. Jacob begins the topic by revealing how many thoughts we have in a single day and explains how these are linked to our behavior. You can’t perform the same old actions each day and expect your life to change; you have to become aware of your unconscious thoughts that are hardwiring your brain to be the exact same every day.

This webinar episode focuses on employee terminations and risk in North Carolina. A lot of the time, HR professionals think that this is a horrible topic, and Jacob agrees that terminations are not happy moments. However, these are often positive actions for the company which improve employee understanding of how their jobs help the company.

Quite often in the news, we see stories about employee violence. Human resource professionals have to learn to train employees in a way that prevents these things from happening. It’s all about being kind to employees. To discuss this topic, Jacob is joined by Anthony Troeger. He is the President of Aardwolf International, a private investigation firm that specializes in workplace issues. Anthony is a formal federal agent and his company is based in North Carolina but operates throughout the United States

Today, Jacob is talking about retraining your mind to set yourself up for more success. This translates into so many different

areas in life. He tells us how humans are wired to avoid doing things they find scary, but knowing exactly what you want in life can be effective in overcoming this blockage.

Jim has quite a unique recruiting process in his businesses. He constantly has people contacting his office looking for work, and he takes us through the steps they must complete before a hiring decision is made. We hear what Jim tells candidates who have gotten far in the hiring process, during which he reveals that about 90% of candidates who get as far as speaking with Jim get hired. Regarding the positive company culture that he has built, Jim says he believes everything starts at the top.

Recruiting is harder than it’s ever been, and it’s only going to get harder as AI becomes more prominent. If you are a recruiter, you need to first think about if you are in the right job. Are you happy when you come to work? Jacob says that you should be excited about what the day will bring. Recruiters are underestimated in a lot of companies, yet he felt so rewarded during his time as a recruiter. If you don’t have that same outlook, it might be time for you to reconsider your position.
