TaPod - We Talk Talent Acquisition.

This week on TaPod, we tackle a really important issue – Women’s Health in the Workplace. We are joined by the amazing Jess Gibson-Jones and Kaz Thorley who first shared their personal stories at the Sydney Talent Meet Up a week earlier. From Periods to Peri-Menopause to Menopause to Miscarriages to Endometriosis to Hysterectomy to Cancer and more, we  highlight how Women’s Health Issues are not regarded, or even accepted in many workplaces. It’s raw. It’s educational. And it’s essential that this issue is spoken about… by everyone.

Thanks to SmartRecruiters for your continued support of TaPod.

This week on TaPod, Lauren has a week off and Craig flies solo with the joint winners of the 2024 Diversity, Equity and Inclusion ITA – MYOB and Bendigo & Adelaide Bank.

DE&I is such a massive undertaking and both organisations demonstrate their commitment to change with Belinda Leon talking through Bendigo’s strategy to create greater opportunities for people with disabilities, cancer sufferers and First Nations Candidates and Kristina Nutt leads us through the amazing ‘Develop Her’ initiative shining a gender lens on Women in Tech.

DE&I initiatives take passion, hard work and partnerships and both our guests detail partnerships with organisations like, Smiling Mind, Headspace, Randstad and RMIT University amongst a village of others. It’s a fascinating discussion and one well worth listening to. Thanks to Enboarder for supporting the DE&I Award at the ITAs and kudos to Smart Recruiters for your continued support of TaPod.

We love to speak with our partners at TaPod and in this special episode we catch up with Rich Lewis-Jones VP AsiaPac @SmartRecruiters to introduce us to Winston the heart, soul, and brains behind “the new” SmartRecruiters as your AI ‘sidekick’.

Not only will Winston help save time by taking over your repetitive admin tasks, but also learns from you, to support you as a recruiter. Auto interview scheduling, suggestions on PDs, process and candidates all based on your past interactions. And don’t get us started about how the dashboard can be customised for each recruiter based on how you want to use it. The future is here and its name is Winston!

This week on TaPod we are lucky to spend with some time the ATC Innovation Lab Judges award winner – Stan Wasowicz from Scotty AI and Richard Barnett from award sponsor Hays.

Stan is adamant we are entering the age of automation and Scotty has the capacity to complete the recruitment process from start to finish. And that’s not all he has in store for us. His presentation at ATC was controversial and today he gets to drill down on the detail… fascinating.

Thanks to SmartRecruiters for your continued support.

Big Kev made some BIG statements at the recent ATC Fearless Forecast and today we are going to drill down on metrics that matter. From Cost per Hire to Time to Hire.
