Today's Top Leaders

Join me and recruiting expert, Robert Merrill, as we delve into the hack the biases that we each bring into the recruiting process. We cover the following:

Bio on Robert Merrill:

Robert has been in the recruiting industry since 2005 and he is passionate about the value that good recruiting can bring to companies but especially people who deserve high paying and meaningful work.

He founded ConnectedWell in 2018 with the mission to help companies solve not only hiring challenges, but improve their talent acquisition processes from A-Z, enabling companies to hire more efficiently, with less bias and more inclusion, as well as providing candidates with an excellent experience and onboarding to set them up for the highest success.

Robert is passionate about what he calls "Hiring Made Human" which touches on the idea that we should never forget the person involved at each step of the recruiting process. The hiring manager, the interviewers, and the candidates are all humans with desires and dreams. In this world of tech and automation, we should never automate human connection. The more we can connect with and truly see each other in the process, Robert believes, we will naturally level up our talent acquisition abilities and be better off ourselves for it.

You know that you have employees who aren't happy at work. Previously I've talked about what makes you a terrible leader, and the problem about why they aren't happy could be you. Could the problem maybe be that you aren't kind and compassionate enough? The #1 reason why someone leaves a job is because they don't have a good relationship with their boss. This happens at all levels in the company.
