Summary:

Jan Johnson loves all things HR Technology. Always immersed in technology, she’s taken her career from setting up learning systems as a program manager to now leading product management for Talent Acquisition and HR at UKG. Jan doesn’t focus on the features, but on the business problems her customers need to solve—or better yet, don't yet know they are going to have!

In this episode, Jan talks about people, their work, and their data.

          • Quotes:

            “When you think about companies not being able to find enough applicants—how many people are there in the world? Something like 8 billion, right? And [there are] 330 million in the US. So is the problem that we can't find applicants, or we're not looking in the right place, or we're not in a broad enough spectrum?”

            “That’s really one of the most important things in recruiting today: the ability to build rapport and a sense of belonging with the candidates and to help them understand the culture and what it is to work there.”
