E363 Recruiting Community: Chris Forman, AppCast and Thoughts on Pay Per “X” in Recruiting

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.

CXR Community Member, Laura Fields Sr Director Recruiting Operations at Spectrum, joins us this week to share practical applications of AI in Talent Acquisition. (And no, generating job postings is not one of her tips!) Listen in as Laura shares how Spectrum is using AI to improve decision-making in the hiring funnel. She will address practical considerations for TA professionals when implementing artificial intelligence in a company and how to select the right solution for your problem - including ideas for generative AI solutions we should be pushing our vendors to offer and recommendations for offerings we should skip.

This week we're joined by Libby Sartain, Independent Board Director, Former CHRO Yahoo! Inc. and Southwest Airlines Co. She'll be sharing practical things to consider for leaders who are thinking of "what's next" and looking to give back in the next phase of their career.

Join the Recruiting Community Podcast with Rocki Howard, Founder & Chief Diversiologist at Diversiology. We'll be talking about ways we can make the world of work more engaged and inclusive while discussing recent research and polling results about DE&I adoption.
