This week on Tapod we catch up with not 1... but 2 legends - Denise Pereira & Matt Woodard. The recent slowdown in the market - particularly Tech has been tough. Many of our friends have found themselves made redundant & guess what? Candidate Experience suffers. Listen to just what is going on in our sector. From ghosting... to demands for degrees... to outright rudeness. We discuss the pros & cons of moving from tech and even leaving the industry altogether, While Lauren aims to lift spirits with a rousing rendition of 'Do They Know It's Christmas?' It's must listen Tapod on a bloody important topic.

This week on TaPod we are joined by industry legend Gareth Flynn - MD at TQ Solutions.
We talk Talent Maturity Model version 3.0, designed for senior HR/Talent professionals to baseline (and via TQ, benchmark) the maturity of their organisation’s People & Talent function through the lens of ‘Mindset’ and ‘Enablement’.
Are you a proactive or reactive function?
Have you made adequate investment in technology?
It's a fascinating discussion and you have the ability to take the diagnostic for your own company. In version 3.0 there's a new DEI lens and a deeper assessment of experience. It's a must-listen and even more importantly a 'must get involved'.
