Ever so often you meet someone who simply stands out from the rest. For me, recently, it was Mr. David Alsop, the Vice President of Human Resources at Ultradent.

If you read any of the content David puts out, especially on LinkedIn, or you look back to past interviews or speaking engagements David has done, you'll see that he truly is all about authenticity. I'm so excited to release this episode for your benefit and enjoyment.

David spent the better part of 13+ years with the Kraft-Heinz company starting off in Sales and quickly working his way in and up the ranks of HR leadership.

He joined Ultradent in 2017 and today serves as the organization's Vice President of Human Resources. David is a contributor and council member for Forbes, and he is also the Founder of an organization called Jump Spark. Jump Spark was a cause born to build a community of leaders who inspire the future of human experience in the workplace and beyond.

Ultradent is a company dedicated to improving Oral health globally through science, creativity, and education. The company was recognized in 2021 by Fortune Magazine as a Best Workplace in Manufacturing & Production.

Some highlights of what we covered:

-Why the rules of Talent Acquisition need to be thrown out in order to actually hire the best people and help them succeed

-How underdog stories lend themselves to great hires

-Why seeking out the "excluded" is like seeking out diamonds in the ruff when it comes to hiring

-Why hiring highly experienced and highly educated people may actually be a detriment to your overall company goals

...and so much more!
