TaPod - We Talk Talent Acquisition.

In TaPod's final episode of the 2024 Summer Series, It's Craig's pick... and he takes us back to a fascinating catch up with the brilliant Hung Lee to discuss how candidates are gaming the system with AI. This is one of the most interesting podcasts we’ve ever done. It’s thought-provoking and gives us a window into the (not too distant future). Hung always shares some very ‘left field’ thoughts like AI fulfilling the majority of the recruitment process from both sides – interacting back and forth before humans get involved – but where does that leave us? Are we entering the Age of the Terminator?

The Scoop is BACK! The crew from Tapod are back with renewed energy and a sh*&load of news from the recruitment and talent acquisition industries. This week we look at Inflation… gender pay gap… the death of resumes… tik tok for recruitment… under desk sensors (yes you read right) and much much more.

Thanks to our friends at Indeed for partnering with The Scoop for 2024.

In this episode of our Summer Series we revisit one of our most raw and revealing episodes ever, TaPod speaks with Stu Holmes Founder of The Green Collar. Fresh off his presentation at ATC2023, Stu has spent time in prison himself for armed robbery and we look at how it affected him both inside and upon his release. Stu spends his days now dedicated to helping people who have been in jail get a second chance… and find a bridge back to employment.

In an environment where many industries just can’t find talent there is a ready-made workforce here to consider.

Stu’s story is compelling and is a lesson in how anyone’s life can go off the rails… it’s what you do next that counts. Thanks to Jo Vohland for choosing this interview.
Big Shout Out to TaPod Connect for sponsoring the Summer Series!

Today we bring you the first in TaPod's Summer Series of Podcasts! This week Lauren has chosen to revisit a fun and informative chat with  ‘Big Al’ Schirmer – GM Technology & Innovation at TQ Solutions from back in September.
Alistair is at the forefront of building Tech Stacks that support talent functions and his insights on AI and how they will affect HRtech are unmissable. He encourages us to embrace AI and look at it like an Administrator or Assistant to help us make recruitment easier.
According to Alastair we are entering a golden age of Tech and who are we to argue? 
It’s really fascinating and anyone looking to explore their tech should take a listen.
