Talking Talent with PeopleScout

In this episode of Talking Talent with PeopleScout, we're focusing on the importance of hiring people with disabilities and how you can create and execute an effective program that serves candidates of all abilities.

The week of March 13 is Neurodiversity Celebration Week, challenging stereotypes and misconceptions about neurological differences in transforming how neurodivergent individuals are perceived and supported. It's a week to recognize the many talents and advantages of being neurodivergent while creating more inclusive and equitable cultures, and employers have a role. While not all people with disabilities are neurodivergent and not all neurodivergent people have disabilities, it is important for employers to understand how to best support these candidates and employees.

Joining to discuss this topic is Tim Powell, PeopleScout managing director of APAC.

Rethinking Early Careers: Strategies for Graduate Recruitment in 2023 by PeopleScout

As we start 2023, global economic uncertainty remains; so, in this episode of Talking Talent, we’re taking a look at how labor market trends are impacting different regions around the globe.

Over the past three years, we’ve heard a lot of the same words and phrases repeatedly: unprecedented, uncertainty, new normal and the list goes on. We would all prefer if these words stop echoing around in the backs of our minds, but we’re not there yet.

However, if we look at what is happening in different regions around world, we can gain a better understanding of where we stand globally. What are the biggest challenges and opportunities? What can we learn from each other?

In this episode, we hear from three of PeopleScout’s senior leaders, Managing Director of the Americas, Rick Betori, UK Managing Director and Head of EMEA Operational Delivery, Jon Porter, and Managing Director of APAC, Tim Powell.

In this episode we’re talking about how to determine which metrics you should use to drive and define success in your RPO program. Joining us to discuss is Stephen Carlson, vice president of client delivery at PeopleScout. In this conversation, Stephen shares why some the typical metrics that you’re tracking are actually vanity metrics. He outlines how you can dig deeper to find the right metrics within your program to identify opportunities for improvement and take action.

Joining this episode to discuss these issues is Rick Betori, PeopleScout’s Managing Director of the Americas. Rick has been with TrueBlue since 2011 and has more than 25 years of proven experience driving organizational change and growth. In this episode, listen as Rick shares his insights of the current economic landscape and how talent leaders can stay ahead. Rick also shares what he believes will be the biggest opportunities for talent leaders as they prepare for 2023.

One of the biggest make-or-break factors in today’s talent market is simple, but difficult to execute—speed. In a talent market where job postings outnumber job-seekers and future uncertainty still plagues employers, speed can be the deciding factor in whether your organization has enough workers, as well as the best talent and the ability to respond to changing market conditions.  In this episode, PeopleScout's Rick Betori joins us to talk about how an RPO provider can provide the speed you need to survive in today's talent market.

In this episode of Talking Talent, we’re talking about unconscious bias and the role that it plays in the recruitment process. As employers work to build processes that are inclusive and equitable, talent leaders need to confront the effects of these biases. That means understanding where they come from, what they look like and where they can pop up. Back on the podcast for this conversation is Simon Wright, PeopleScout’s Global Head of Talent Advisory Consulting.

In this episode, we’re talking about talent technology and specifically about finding that perfect balance between a high-tech process and the human touch. How can you create the best possible experience for candidates, recruiters and hiring managers? How can you make sure that your recruitment process accurately reflects your employer brand? Joining us is Rick Betori, PeopleScout’s managing director of the Americas.

In this episode of Talking Talent, we’re going deep on an issue that is top of mind for so many employers: diversity, equity and inclusion.

This episode specifically focuses on building an employer brand and a recruitment process that is equitable and inclusive of candidates form underrepresented backgrounds. What are the best strategies? How can you build a process that takes things like intersectionality and social mobility into account? And finally, how do you get the buy-in within your organization to make changes—especially in a challenging hiring environment?

Joining us to talk about these issues is Paula Simmons, our Director of Employer Brand & Communications Strategy.
