This episode features a fascinating conversation with Hung Lee. He curates Recruiting Brainfood, one of the most popular weekly newsletters for the recruiting, HR, and talent industries. His keen expertise and approach to building a vendor-neutral community are respected around the globe. We discuss why some things in the workplace never change such as workers leaving low paying and low flexibility jobs, the impact of the aging workforce, and “elite overproduction” of highly educated people with elevated expectations without suitable jobs to match. No one has the final answer and we agreed we’re not going to solve it anytime soon. It’s why recruiting remains broken, and regardless of economic pressures, vacancies will always persist. Thanks for listening to #TheWork podcast.
