As 2021 comes to a close, we thought that there’d be no better way to wrap up this season of The Shortlist than to welcome back an absolute legend of the recruiting world, Gerry Crispin.

The Principal and Co-Founder of CareerXroads, Gerry is a renowned speaker, author and walking encyclopaedia on all things talent and hiring. And it’s this depth of knowledge that we’re going to be tapping into today as we look to discuss the history of recruiting itself. Gerry has recently been editing a comprehensive, open-source document on this topic. With over 41 contributing authors, this living compendium chronicles some of the biggest milestones in the industry, starting from 1900 right up until the present day. In this episode of The Shortlist, we’ll be diving into this history with Gerry while also looking at some of the more recent events which will shape recruiting for years to come.
