55 minutes

On this episode, Pete and Julie welcome John Sarvari, Chief Technology Officer at AppyHere, to explore the current state and outlook for modern talent acquisition! John discusses his unique journey from optimizing manufacturing supply chains to disrupting talent acquisition tech for the frontline workforce!

John shares insights and expertise for winning the frontline workforce and explains why the frontline worker hiring process is a lot like managing a live inventory of talent and how seizing those “moments of attention” can determine success—or failure.

The group discusses hot-button topics like fraud in recruiting, tech’s rising influence on hiring, and the all-too-common trend of recruiters and candidates ghosting each other. They explore the rapid pace and impacts of innovation on talent management, the importance of upskilling and forecasting labor demand, and AI’s growing role in the recruiter and candidate experiences.
