E355 Recruiting Community: Moira Lynam, CEO HireUp, Talks Referred Talent Pipelines

Long time CXR Member and Global Head of Talent Acquisition at Ford Motor Company, Melissa Thompson joins us this week to share how she is working to re-calibrate her TA Team on what they do and what they deliver to best meet the needs of the business.

This week we're diving into our latest Quarterly Research Report: Touch vs Tech in Talent Acquisition. Listen in as our research facilitators share insights regarding the future of talent acquisition and finding a balance of technology vs human touch.

We're looking forward to talking with Mike Wolford, author of “The AI Recruiter” and articles like “6 Ways to Use GPT-4 for Recruiting." We'll be digging into the future of AI in Talent Acquisition - specifically how AI has changed the world so far, what is new in our space and what we can look forward to. Join us live on LinkedIn to ask your questions.

This week we are joined by two CXR Community members from Carmax: Hatch Reppard, Senior Manager TA, and Troy Shullick, Sourcing Recruiting Manager. We'll be talking about the dynamics between Sourcing Recruiters & Corporate Recruiters and how to build a successful partnership.

When we saw this article from Tracey Parsons, co-founder of Flockity, we knew we'd want to talk to her about it. Her take: there should be Lemon Laws in recruiting. "Many EVPs are not honest, differentiated (not all, just many) and there are no consequences for this activity. So why aren't there Lemon Laws for work?"

Telling the story of TA internally is a topic that comes up often in our Community and we're looking forward to digging into it with DaVita's Vice President of Talent Acquisition, Nataliya Wilson. Data, Performance transparency, incentives that align with larger business needs and more will be on the table!

This week we're joined by Cielo CEO, Marissa Geist to talk about a trend she's been watching closely: the convergence of RPO and SaaS. While the actual talent remains a core business responsibility, the capabilities of a traditional talent partnership are being disassembled to create a unified ecosystem to advise, enable and deliver integrated solutions. We'll be talking about the industry opportunities this creates and what a world of client talent partnerships might look like.

We're looking forward to chatting with CXR member, Todd Phillips the VP of Recruiting at Total Quality Logistics. He's leading two large scale initiatives to improve hiring outcomes and we're going to talk through those plans and the early results. We know many of you are focused on improving the quality of talent you bring into your organization and hope you're able to join us for this conversation - remember comments shared on LI during the livestream might be called out during the broadcast!

Join us this week with special guest Peter Block, author of many books including Abundant Community and Activating the Common Good. We'll be talking about community from the perspective of Relational Activism. Relational activism is about ways of being together that produce accountability and action.

This week we're joined by James Ellis, Author & Chief Brand Builder for Employer Brand Labs. He's been working on a new project he's calling "The Definition of Insanity" focused on the need to inject new thinking into common problems.
