November 27, 2017 Ep 055 - Build Your Own Recruiting Content Strategy
It's true: content is probably the most effective way to activate your employer brand. But do you know how to build a proper content strategy? I'm not talking about deciding how many tweets you need a day, but a true strategy. Don't spend huge chunks of cash to have an agency tell you what your content strategy should be, because in this episode we get serious about helping you build your own.

November 20, 2017 Ep 054 - The Myth of Talent Quality
You want to hire the best, I know that. But the concept of "quality" is both impossible to measure and impossible to define. So that leaves us with a simple question: what exactly is talent quality? Show notes: http://wp.me/p806sS-64

November 13, 2017 Ep 053 - Employer Brand for Pennies a Day
If someone asked you to invest in your employer brand, it always seems to come with a steep price tag. But it doesn't have to be that way. Most companies can get a huge lift with very little budget. Don't believe me? Listen in! Show notes: http://wp.me/p806sS-5X

November 06, 2017 EP 052 - Rethinking Your Budgets
Setting up your 2018 budgets? Chances are, you're trying to figure out how to the stuff as last year with a budget plus or minus three percent of 2017. That's a trap.

October 30, 2017 Ep 051 - What Glassdoor Gets Wrong
According to Glassdoor, your rating says you are a good or bad company to work for, but they've got it wrong. And understanding the cause of that misunderstanding is what can allow you to win the talent game, even if you aren't a "top" employer. Full show notes: http://wp.me/p806sS-5J

October 23, 2017 Ep 050 - The End of Entry-Level Work
AI, bots and software can't take all our jobs, just the entry-level ones. It's like saying "we don't need seeds because we've got all this food!" Where will new talent come from when we can't hire entry-level people and make them great? The answer might surprise you. Show notes: http://wp.me/p806sS-5E

October 16, 2017 Ep 049 - Can Employer Brand Go Too Far?
A successful employer brand needs to have a strong point of view, but can you take it too far? We find an example where that's true, explain where it created problems and suggest some fixes. Show notes: http://wp.me/p806sS-5y

October 09, 2017 Ep 048 - Measuring What Matters
Are you measuring what matters or just what's easy to measure? Too many people are measuring things that have zero impact on their hiring (Likes! Bounce Rate! Traffic!). In this episode we break down the things that get reported on that have nothing to do with effective hiring and suggest metrics that really do. Show notes found at http://thetalentcast.com

October 02, 2017 Ep 047 - Your Employer Brand Already Exists
You don't have to create or invest (or invest in) your employer brand, because it already exists. This may be good, or (more likely) it may be bad. And join the Employer Brand webinar series this fall: http://bit.ly/employerbrandwebinar
