April 23, 2018 EP 076 - Storytelling for Recruiting
If everyone *knows* that storytelling is an effective means to get your recruiting message to stick, why do so many companies get it wrong? Because they think storytelling happens in a video or an article or a profile. Wrong! Show notes: http://wp.me/p806sS-a9

April 16, 2018 EP 075 - Serious Thoughts About Employer Brand
After some great conversations at ERE last week, I realized I was working under some assumptions that are rarely discussed. So here are the things employer brand people think about when they don't realize they are thinking about employer brand. Show Notes: http://wp.me/p806sS-a3

April 09, 2018 EP 074 - The End Of The ATS (ERE Wrap-up)
After two days in San Diego for the ERE Recruiting Conference #ERERC, I was left with a single clear trend: Your ATS will become less and less visible to the candidate as we build completely new entrances into the application process. What does that mean? You'll have to listen to find out! Show notes: http://wp.me/p806sS-9W

April 02, 2018 EP 073 - How To Manage Your Employer Brand
Everyone would love to sell you a better way to manage your employer brand, but we don't usually talk about what "managing an employer brand" really means. In this episode, we try to get specific on a very vague and fluid idea. Show notes: http://wp.me/p806sS-9R

March 26, 2018 EP 072 - When We're Not
One of the most common questions about creating and implementing an employer brand completely misses the point. When someone asks how to make their employer brand fun/diverse/inclusive/collaborative/employee-focused, there's an unstated part of the question. How do you make an employer brand diverse (or whatever) when the company it is representing is NOT. Show notes: http://wp.me/p806sS-9K

March 19, 2018 EP 071 - The Unsexy Employer Brand
We're always talking about who or what is the sexy employer brand of the moment, or how to make your employer brand sexy. But chances are, your brand is deeply unsexy. That's okay. There are ways for your employer brand to succeed without trying to be something you're not.

March 12, 2018 Ep 070 - Stop Selling Jobs
Recruiters can be so focused on getting any kind of positive feedback (the "yes") that they don't realize that they are being lied to. The goal of recruiting isn't to get people to say yes, but to get them to want to say yes. Stop selling!

March 05, 2018 Ep 069 - The Future of Hiring Is Female
Look, this isn't about diversity. This isn't about "doing good." This is about straight up business and destroying the competition. How? By building a women-first recruiting and hiring model.

February 26, 2018 Ep 068 - Your Recruiting Funnel Is Lying To You
A helpful way of seeing recruiting issues and evaluating solutions for years, the recruiting funnel is completely broken. It forces your thinking into a transactional mode, which is not going to lead you to talent greatness. In this episode, published in conjunction with ERE Media, you'll discover how your recruiting funnel has been lying to you and how seeing your Talent Funnel is a far better option.

February 19, 2018 Ep 067 - The Professional Candidate
Stop and think of everything you ask from a candidate in return for a chance at a job. Now think of how desperate you are for talent and ask yourself: if you were a true professional, would you EVER give up so much without getting anything in return? Of course you wouldn't!!!
