Craig Fisher is, by most accounts, one of the most influential people in the world of HR and recruiting and is a much sought-after speaker at conferences. Currently, he’s the head of recruiting innovation for Allegis Global Solutions. In this episode of The Lorne Epstein Show, Fisher talks about some of the latest innovations in digital branding. As a founder of TalentNet, he was involved in the first Twitter chats for recruiters, which took place more than 10 years ago. “Everyone would have their cocktails and we’d tweet about what they’re drinking.” And another participant would tweet out a playlist from Pandora “so that we could all listen to the same music at the same time.” The chat eventually became a podcast and “then it also became a conference,” according to Fisher.

It’s your dream job. The pay and benefits are good. But you aren’t sure about the workplace culture. What do you do? David Rivel, co-founder of PathMotion, figured the best messengers are company employees. PathMotion is a platform that allows prospective employees to  engage with current employees to learn about the workplace and to hear about their career stories. David Rivel’s advice to employers is to “be open and honest and speak [to prospective employees] about the challenges” your company faces. He drives home the point that “at the end of the day when you think about employer branding” it should be “about convincing the right people that you are the employer of choice [while] repelling the wrong people.”  Rivel believes authenticity is critical to these goals, and that “candidates are going to trust a company’s response with some mistakes” over “a nicely crafted corporate answer.”

In 2006, when Andrew Gadomski realized how much time companies wasted on using data analytics they didn’t understand, he founded Aspen Analytics (then known as Aspen Advisors). Now the firm’s Managing Director and Chief Advisor, Gadomski says, “We've surrounded ourselves with data so much that we naturally want to analyze it, even something as simple as how we manage our fitness, how we manage our eating habits, how we travel,” adding that “the ability to capture said data and visualize it has become a lot easier in the past decade.” He says this is the type of work most analysts do for marketing, operations, advertising around making spend decisions, making larger decisions around production.  We just don't tend to do it that often in recruiting and it's harder to do in employment after someone gets hired, but the velocity of data inside recruiting is big and fast.” Gadomski says one key to successful recruiting is knowing the best time to approach people, whether it’s a job anniversary or after they received a bonus at their current job. The Wall Street Journal regularly calls on Gadomski for his on global employment and labor issues and he is a regular speaker at conferences worldwide.
