August 09, 2019 Brainfood Live On Air - Ep25, Video in Recruiter, with Maury Hanigan, Erin Douglas & Mark Lundgren
How do you use video in recruiting?

As an industry culture first dominated by phone and then email, we recruiters can be awfully slow in adopting new ways to interact with candidates and clients.

Here's some usse Cases of Video Tech
- Enriched job descriptions
- Enhanced outreach messaging
- Authentic employer branding
- Video messages rather than Audio only voicemail
- Asynch video interview
- And more

Adam and I will be examining Video in Tech this week, along with reviewing last week's brainfood and the chat in the fb group. We'll be joined by experts in video Maury Hanigan, Nicolas Mirail and Mark Lundgren.

August 02, 2019 Brainfood Live On Air Ep24, HR Conferencing vs HR Reality with Katrina Hutchinson-O'Neill
In honour of this amazing post by Robin Schooling, we are running a special debate show on Brainfood Live this Friday 2nd August.
I'm embedded in the HR conference scene and generally am massive supporter of the idea of in-person industry events. But is there a gap between the rhetoric and reality when it comes to the ideas presented on stage at conferences?
Questions we are going to explore:
- What explains the gap between saying vs doing?
- How much is true vs how much is exaggerated?
- What stops delegates from applying their learning?
- Is survivor bias a problem in HR talks?
- Biggest mistakes, lets confess
Adam and I will be tackling these issues, along with reviewing last week's brainfood and the chat in the fb group.

July 26, 2019 Brainfood Live On Air - Ep23, Programmatic What? w/ Rene Bolier, Steven Rothberg and Leah Daniels
What is programmatic advertising?
When do you need to use it?
HOW do you use it?
and Why should you use it?

It's the recruitment technology that has been so hot in this last few weeks, as leading players Appcast, Perengo and ClickIQ get acquired by recruitment giants Stepstone, TMP Worldwide and Indeed respectively.

And yet we in TA know far too little nothing about it, so this week's show will be all about Programmatic Job advertising, in particular how to use it. Adam Gordon and I are joined by Rene Bolier, CEO of OnRecruit, Steven Rothberg, Founder at CollegeRecruiter and Leah Daniels, GM at Appcast
