Peter Hinssen is a thought leader about radical innovation, leadership, and the impact of digital on society and business. He lectures at various business schools such as London Business School (UK) and MIT in Boston. Peter founded nexxworks to help organizations thrive in The Day After Tomorrow.

Peter said, "Neither technology nor the disruption that comes with it is an exogenous force over which humans have no control. All of us are responsible for guiding its evolution, in the decisions we make daily as citizens, consumers, and investors." Peter said, "Budgets is my favorite time of the year; it is a yearly sadistic ritual where people put in fake numbers into Excel, which is consolidated into a budget which never is true."

In his book The Day After Tomorrow, Peter wants us to grasp the opportunity and power we have to shape the Fourth Industrial Revolution and direct it toward a future that reflects our common objectives and values. Peter said that "In the end, it all comes down to people and values. We need to shape a future that works for all of us by putting people first and empowering them. The Fourth Industrial Revolution may "robotize" humanity and thus to deprive us of our heart and soul. It can also lift humanity into a new collective and moral consciousness based on a shared sense of destiny. It is incumbent on us all to make sure the latter prevails."

Alyssa Gioscia, Senior Client Success Manager for CareerArc, helps clients automate hiring procedures so they can save time and money. She says CareerArc aims to help companies automate “where a human doesn’t really need to exist.” To accomplish this, she says “We’re looking at making the HR funnel more like the sales funnel, where it’s automated at the top….” Among the tools CareerArc offers are automated job listings; a tool called “Engage,” which allows companies to build out custom content; and “candidate care,” which allows employers to follow-up with and stay in touch with job candidates they didn’t hire. Gioscia says their goal is “to create a good story around [a client’s] brand,” adding that “anything that makes you stand out from the crowd because right now you're dealing mostly with passive candidates.” Gioscia has worked in strategic marketing for more than 10 years, working with clients involved in health care, hospitality, retail and engineering.

To call Gerry Crispin a leader in the field of recruitment and human resources is akin to saying the sun is hot. On his LinkedIn page, Crispin describes himself as a “life-long student of hiring with a passion for conversations” about the recruiting process.  Crispin and his business partner,  Mark Mehler, founded CareerXroads in 1995. He has long been interested in building communities and in this episode of The Lorne Epstein Show we talk about his experience at “Burning Man,” a cultural event every summer that brings tens of thousands of people to the Black Rock Desert about 100 miles northeast of Reno, Nevada to build a community in a just a few days. He says he went to burning man “trying to figure out how to articulate better how community forms (and) what does it form around?”  Crispin says every November he travels to other countries, including Japan, Eastern Europe, Cuba, and India, to “step outside…(his) box”, engaging with employers, professors, students and governments about how their communities hire and manage workers. After 50 years in the field, Crispin says he is as curious about the world as when he was a graduate student.

When an employee tells Josh Gampel, the CEO of Recruitics, that he or she is leaving the agency, he may go out and celebrate with them. Sometimes he’s happy that they have been able to use the skills they learned at Recruitics to find another job; sometimes he’s happy that someone who wasn’t a good fit for his company has found a work situation that may be a better fit. On this episode of The Lorne Epstein Show, Gampel says he believes in “purpose” on the job. “I think purpose is the key driver of everything we do.” Recruitics is a recruitment marketing agency that specializes in using data and analytics to help companies recruit more effectively by giving them a better idea of how effective their ads are. He says, “When we started the company there was a vision and a mission and a hope that we were going to become something that could make a meaningful difference.” Gampel also gets great satisfaction out of watching Recruitics employees stay with the company and advance in their careers. As an added episode bonus, Gampel and Lorne discuss some of their favorite movies.

Lorne and Abby Cheesman, co-founder and CFO of Skill Scout, talk about how you can make free videos that will engage job candidates and help them learn about your workplace by bringing jobs to life.  And it’s relatively simply. Abby says all you need is “a smartphone, a microphone to get good audio, a way to stabilize your shot, and then you can produce videos that are much higher quality than you might think". Here’s one of her pro video tips: "flip your camera horizontally as it captures double the resolution." Abby says that "Candidates want to hear stories from behind the scenes; they want to see a typical day," she says. Lorne and Abby also talk about the best questions to ask employees when creating videos.  Her favorite question, she says, is "what surprised you most about this job?" Abby says based on their research "people watch the video for about a minute and 36 seconds" so the stories need to be short and concise. You can email Abby at [email protected] to get her slides about producing inexpensive, high-quality videos for free. You can follow Abby on Twitter at @AbbyNeilson

Lauryn Sargent loves a good story. Who doesn’t?  So, in 2011 she co-founded Stories Incorporated, a marketing firm that helps companies recruit by using the company’s employees to sell their workplace to job applicants. Stories uses multiple platforms, including videos and blog posts, to get the word out. The key, Sargent says, is to tell a story that is “not generic.”  Sargent says they want to “highlight the moments that matter to employees”. Among those moments, she says, they ask current employees to talk about the moment they knew they made the right decision to work at that company. Sargent says they look for stories that are not about the “mechanics of the (work) day” but that reflect the company’s culture to give prospective employees a good picture of the workplace. @laurynsargent
