TaPod - We Talk Talent Acquisition.

We are so excited at TaPod to have one of the brilliant global minds, Dr Margie Warrell back on our podcast! Last time Margie spoke to us about Imposter Syndrome and this time we focus on Survivor Guilt. With all the lay-offs in our industry what about those left behind? The why me questions… We discuss all of this with Margie. Not only that we ask the really tough questions relating to her recent visit the Whitehouse (hobnobbing with Albo & Joe), like… ‘What’s the toilet like?’ 

It’s a fascinating chat and we are very thankful to Margie for sharing her thoughts with us.

A big shout out to refapp for supporting us this month.

In this special episode of Tapod, we hit Hiring Success APAC. In a day filled with knowledge we catch up with Rebecca Carr - Chief Product Officer and Tony de Graaf Global GTM Director at Smart Recruiters – We talk Death by 1000 Cuts…Deep Compliance…Building a Business Case for Change… Leaning into AI and Cocaine Bear – yes. Cocaine Bear.

Thanks to Rich Lewis-Jones, Agnes Bilik, and the rest of the Smart Recruiters team for putting on such a great event!

We are grateful to RefApp for partnering with us for this month.

This week on the Scoop, the crew from Tapod bring you all the weekly TA & Recruitment News. We talk candidate privacy… trends for 2024… trouble in the consulting world… and much, much more! It’s been a BIG fortnight of events – especially in Sydney and we have news from everywhere. Not only that – this week’s news gives us a task to complete before next week. 

Thanks so much to Indeed for your support in bringing the news to the industry.

In 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 so much to RefApp for your continued support in bringing TaPod to you.

This week on The Scoop… your weekly dose of TA & Recruitment News Lauren goes BANG! We cover AI in recruitment and all of the shenanigans going on at OpenAI… X goes Job Board… Livehire CEO takes a pay cut… WFH banned!... speaking of banning should your workplace ban the Christmas party? And much, much more.

Thanks to our brilliant partner Indeed for all of your support in bringing you the news.

Once in a while we sit down with someone that completely blows us away and on TaPod this week that’s exactly what happened! We caught up with Dom Price from Atlassian at the HR and L&D Innovation Techfest. Dom is a Work Futurist and TED Speaker and quite simply we could listen to him all day. But in Dom’s own words nothing he says holds any value unless you take action. So bolt in for the next 40 minutes, turn the mirror on yourself, ‘remove stuff’ and make change… Dom makes it easy.

Lauren also admits to being 50% bogan Australian… she was probably being a little conservative.

Thanks to RefApp for your brilliant support this month

Today on The Scoop the crew from Tapod are joined by guest reporter Karen Thorley from Indeed. We cover all manner of recruitment and TA news including: Hilton jumping on the TikTok bandwagon… NZ narrowing the gender pay gap… Bill Boorman seeing some good news on the TA horizon and much much more.

Thanks to the brilliant people at Indeed for the support.

This week on Tapod, Craig is forced to fly solo as the Optus outage kept Lauren offline. He sat down with ‘Best Vendor Solution’ winners from ITAs2023, Giovanni Ribudiyanto from Allianz & Damian Bridge from Oncore.

If you have a contingent workforce you really need to ask yourself 4 questions… Do you easily know how many contractors/contingent workers are in your business? Do you know where they are in your business? Do you know how much they are costing you and do you know if they are fully compliant?

If you answered no to any of those questions  you should really take a listen. Even if you answered yes give it a go!

Thanks to RefApp for your brilliant Support this month.

This week on the Scoop – your weekly dose of TA & Recruitment News we go all around the world! Medibank trial a 4-day work week… There’s acquisition news in the world of Rec-Tech… We’ll show you how to lose your bonus… And some positive Recruitment News… finally!

This week on Tapod we sit down with the brilliant Sabrina Del Borrello, Head of People of Culture at Bluerock focussing on headcount growth in a scale up. Bluerock has doubled their headcount over the past three years and looking to double again. We talk through growing pains like tech stack, AI, competing for talent, creating a talent community and building internal business cases.

It’s a fantastic reminder of how internal recruitment should be.

Thanks so much to our brand new sponsor for November – RefApp.
