TRANSCRIPT

Chuck Solomon: Hey, Lindsay. How are you today?

Lindsey Ault-Authier: Hi, Chuck. I'm doing great. How are you?

Chuck Solomon: I'm well. Where do I find you today? Where do you live? I'm not even sure.

Lindsey Ault-Authier: I live in Princeton, New Jersey, and I commute into the city into Manhattan three days a week.

Chuck Solomon: Gotcha. Tell listeners a little bit about who you work for and, and your specific role.

Lindsey Ault-Authier: Yeah, absolutely. So I currently head up employer branding and talent attraction for PVH. PVH is a fashion company and you might be more familiar with the brands that they own Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein. Yep. So my focus is helping them to create a really exceptional candidate experience and to overall, you know, really champion them as a great place to work as they are.

Chuck Solomon: Awesome. Do you get to sample the wares at all or? We do sometimes

Lindsey Ault-Authier: have sample sales and you do get a a discount on clothes. So that is that is a huge perk. I have quite a few items in my, in my wardrobe from both Tommy and Calvin. So.

Chuck Solomon: Yeah, I would think that'd be a great perk

Lindsey Ault-Authier: yeah, well, it is definitely a big attraction, and I find a lot of the people that end up working, you know, at PVH, not that it's a requirement, but a lot of them have quite a, you know, a passion for fashion, so it's kind of a, a nice thing about working there is, you know, a lot of other people who are also excited.

interested in fashion and, you know again, not a requirement, but it's nice to, it's fun to get the discount and get the clothes and compare shoes. It's, it's, it's nice.

Chuck Solomon: Sure. So you work in the talent space. I asked this question of, of all my guests about like what led you into working in the talent space?

Lindsey Ault-Authier: So I think like a lot of people in the talent space, I kind of just fell into it.

Chuck Solomon: Yeah, I never heard that before.

TRANSCRIPT

Chuck Solomon: Hey, Victoria. How are you

Victoria Myers: today? Hi, Chuck. I'm great. Thank you.

Chuck Solomon: Can you please tell listeners a little bit about yourself and your company and your role at the company?

Victoria Myers: Sure, and thank you for the opportunity to share a little bit about my story. I have more than 20 years in recruiting and talent acquisition.

Way back when, and after 20 years, you don't, you don't count after that. It tells your age. But way back when, I started off in the agency side of recruiting, and I did a split desk of sales and recruiting. And then basically just kind of really felt that I liked the recruiting side of life more. I felt like it was it met an internal need of mine that I wanted to help people.

And I felt like I was helping people find jobs. So that was very rewarding for me. So I just continued that path and then when I joined Amdocs about four and a half years ago, I joined as the North America talent acquisition manager, and I was leading the strategy and the team specific to filling all the open positions in North America. After about a year and a half, I had the opportunity to then move into a director level role, which is a, the regional lead over Americas.

And for us, that means now managing the North America team, as well as the Central and Latin America teams. I had managers who reported to me and then they had teams. There was a whole structure to it. Then we really went on, on a quest of this would have been at the end of 2021, early 2022 of thinking through how do we want to grow?

As a company, how do we want to grow within talent acquisition? So I led a little project team thinking through talent attraction and where are we today and where do we want to be in the future and what are the, what are the pain points and the gaps? And through that, we've made a lot of recommendations of how we wanted to improve.

Transcript:

Chuck Solomon: Hey, Martha. How are you this afternoon? Good. Chuck. How are you? I'm doing well. Could you please tell listeners a little bit about Martha, the company you work for and your current role?

Martha Angle: Sure. I'd love to. First again, thank you for, for having me on. My name is Martha Angle. I am the VP of talent management and inclusion.

I have one stream software. I've been with OneStream almost nine years now and seeing this startup really kind of grow from a scrappy startup into now an accelerated growth company. So we've grown from when I started about 30 employees to now north of 1300. So the growth has been pretty cool over the years, almost a decade.

And I've got a lot of stories to tell depending on how much time you got. But yeah, this has definitely been home for me for a very long time. Yeah. And personally I'm a mom, I have a 10 year old and a 12 year old, two awesome kids at home. And yeah, I'm excited to, to share a little bit about what my experience has been.

Chuck Solomon: Well, I appreciate it. We're, I'm actually not even sure where you live, where do you live, where are you calling

Martha Angle: in from today? I'm in Birmingham, Michigan, actually. So that's where OneStream’s headquarters is. That's where I'm calling in from today. So

Chuck Solomon: tell me, how did you get into this talent

Martha Angle: space? So I got started in human resources in general right out of college.

So my, my degree was in English and philosophy and bringing those sort of two things together, I was able to, to talk a little bit about the employee experience and, and help in making decisions and, and writing, you know, strong communications. And so that's where I started actually with what was OneStream's predecessor, Upstream.

I think you had some great things to share. I especially like the fact that you, you talked about. What you could do for the candidate experience in a small, medium, and large. It's like ordering off a menu, right? Yeah. Small, medium, or large. Mm-hmm. So I would encourage listeners to, to go back and listen to that.

And most recently, the past two years in internal communications and, you know, employee engagement. And so some of the things I've done and have. Really passionate about are, you know, e V P development careers, websites, and revamping those and really enabling talent acquisition teams with recruitment marketing content, and Email templates that align with, with the brand and with the voice of the company, and of course reputation management as well.

Transcript:

Chuck Solomon: Hi Lauren. How are you today? I'm good, Chuck. How are you? I'm doing well. Could you please let listeners know a little bit about yourself, your company, and, and your role?

Lauren Ahrens: Yeah, for sure. So I'm Lauren. I lead global recruiting for a company called H1. We're a Series C startup focused on global healthcare data.

Lauren Ahrens: We actually have a software platform that speeds decision making and insights for users in life sciences and pharmaceutical industries and so forth. And I've been in recruiting for the last 10 plus years, focused mostly on building data and technology enabled recruiting teams and building great candidate experiences.

Chuck Solomon: Awesome. What got you started in working in this talent space?

Lauren Ahrens: Yeah. Honestly, I really recognized it was, it's interesting, it was actually 2008 when mm-hmm. You know, the, the first sort of first real economic crisis I had right. Of my own personal career. Right. And I was working for a financial services startup at the time.

Lauren Ahrens: And what I noticed is that there were a lot of very unseasoned managers who really struggled to sort of keep a lid on their stress and noticed how it influenced their team somewhat negatively. And I sort of became very kind of hyper aware of how hiring decisions impacted the culture of a company.

Lauren Ahrens: Sure. Super important to me. Not just the candidate experience, but also how it leads into the employee experience. And I wanted a hand in helping shape that.

Chuck Solomon: That's great. I asked that same question of all my guests and I, it is the same question, but I get really unique answers. I think not, not once have I had someone say, well, I was in high school and my guidance counselor said, you should be a recruiter.

Lauren Ahrens: A recruiter. I went to college and got a degree in recruiting. Said no recruiting leader ever.

Chuck Solomon Hey, Dustin. How are you this afternoon?

Dustin Laycock Hey. Doing great. Doing great. How are you?

Chuck Solomon I'm well. Can you let our listeners know a little bit about yourself and your current role and a little bit about the company you work for?

Dustin Laycock Yeah. First off, thanks for. Thanks for having me. Sure. This is definitely something I'm really passionate about and I love talking about. So I was happy to jump at this opportunity. Yeah. So my name is Dustin Laycock. I have been an accidental recruiter for going on 14 years now. I currently work for a company called Zillow. Zillow is really more of a more of a scale up and a startup. I mean, we've been around ten years, so I feel like we're kind of further along on that maturity curve, but we're still smaller. We're about 55 people today, and what we do is that we enable front line workers or desk workers through communication solutions such as Push-to-talk. So we're really big on helping out of all types of industries. We're not industry specific. One cool thing that we do do is we offer our platform for free to first responders. And in fact, last year I think we gave out something around $3.2 million worth of free licenses to first responders. So. Before this.
Chuck Solomon Yeah. That's awesome though, that you're that you're doing that. I mean, anything that supports first responders is is really good in my book.

Chuck Solomon

Hey Kaitlyn, how are you today?

Kaitlyn Tarpey Borea

Hi, Chuck, I'm so great. How are you?

Chuck Solomon

I'm doing well, Happy Friday to you. I appreciate you taking the time to have a conversation with me and share your insights and knowledge with my listeners. But before we get started, can you let listeners know a little bit about yourself?

Kaitlyn Tarpey Borea

Sure. Well, thanks for having me first. My name is Kaitlyn, I run the talent function at TOMO, which is a fin tech startup. It's about two and a half years old. But prior to working in the startup world, I had a really fun career in fashion and in finance before that. So I've been on the HR recruitment side and many different industries, but have always found myself within the recruitment space. That's where my heart is.

Chuck Solomon

Gotcha. I totally understand. How did you know how did you get into this? Talent? People attraction space?

Kaitlyn Tarpey Borea

It's such a good question, because I feel that so many people say they fall into it. For me, I was I am the daughter of an accountant and a math teacher. And so I knew from a very early age that I did not want to work with numbers. I wanted to work with people. And so I knew at least that much going through undergrad. And really, when I think about what recruitment is, it's matchmaking but it's also being an ambassador for a company for a brand for an organization that, that you're passionate about. And I've had some good practice, in situations like that I grew up in the pageant circuit. And you know, it's very natural to me to connect people, and to guide people to into whatever it is that their heart's calling them for. So there's a little bit of I knew I wanted to do with people versus numbers. And then just sort of a circumstance where I fell into an assignment, I ended up being successful in that assignment. And then my career really took off after that.

Dee Commodore 0:02

Oh, fine, thank you.

Chuck Solomon 0:04

I'm doing well. Dee, how did you get into this whole talent, attraction space.

Dee Commodore 0:12

It was 2008, I attended a job fair. And Tish Moore from Greene Resources at this time had interviewed me and hired me on the spot as a recruitment coordinator. And after working there at Greene Resources on assignment, I had seen the impact that, you know, all the recruiters had on peoples lives, it basically piqued my interest, and then, therefore, became my career path after working as I was, as I've been for.

Chuck Solomon 0:45

Excellent, thanks for sharing that. Yeah, I tried to ask that same question to everyone. And I think everyone's path into this career is, is unique and different. So and I think I have yet to hear someone say, Oh, I I planned on it from doesn't It doesn't sound like you planned on it, right?

Dee Commodore 1:10

No, I know, I definitely didn't. However, it did. Pull from my background. Because, again, to me, recruitment is about relationship building, customer service, and, you know, being from the islands, you know, that's something that is important, because tourism is the main part of my community. So I wanted to go originally go into hospitality manage to meet the same thing. But it's just the flip side of it. So I realized my passion, and my personality, you know, identify was live, at least I hope so.

Chuck Solomon 1:50

Hey Emily, how are you today?

Emily Kaija

I'm doing great. Chuck, how are you?

Chuck Solomon

I'm well, thanks so much. Can you let listeners know a little bit about the company work for and your role there?

Emily Kaija

Oh, I'd be happy to. So I work for XWP as a candidate experience specialist. And my focus is to deliver exceptional experiences for everyone who participates in the hiring process at x WP web agency and we deliver enterprise level solutions with WordPress technology. A lot of our clients are publishing entities like magazines, newspapers, who need a really strong and versatile content management system. So we worked with Rolling Stone magazine, News Corp, Australia, a Variety magazine, a lot of companies like that WordPress is an open source software, which means that anybody can use it, modify it, make it better. And it powers about 40% of the websites on the intranet. So actually, a lot of people probably see WordPress sites every day and may not even realize it. But right. We work with digital partners as well like Google and Pantheon and automatic to develop new technologies and plugins to share with the WordPress community.

Rosie Martinson 0:51

It's a really great question. Because as as you know, I'm sure being in this world, some people are in HR, and some are marketing. And some as recruiters, there's lots of different ways to get into this space. And so, I actually am a marketer at heart, I've been in marketing for over 15 years, I have a public relations advertising degree. And about seven or eight years ago, as I was working in healthcare marketing, I was looking for something new, and I wanted to grow my career and work for a larger company. And so, I came across a demand generation manager role.

It's going very well. Thanks for being a guest on the podcast today.

Omer Molad 0:10

Thanks for having me.

Chuck Solomon 0:12

Appreciate it. So before we get into talking about candidate experience, can you give like a, you know, quick overview of sort of how how'd you get into the hiring industry?

Omer Molad 0:24

Sure. So this startup that I'm a co founder of Vervoe is really my first kind of official foray into the hiring industry. Prior to that, I, my only experience in hiring was being hired or trying to get hired and, and hiring people as a hiring manager, which, which I did a lot of, in a past life, but I was not a recruitment practitioner in any in any form before starting this company.

Chuck Solomon 1:02

Sure What, you know, you talk to a lot of companies out there, and I'm, like, you've seen a lot of, sort of can't good candidate experience bad candidate experience? Like, what are you seeing, like, where companies are getting candidate experience? Where they're doing it well?

Omer Molad 1:22

Unfortunately, it's the minority of companies that, that do it? Well, in my opinion, and, sure, yeah, and if I had to really sort of boil it down to something really simple. A good candidate experience is an experience that sets a candidate up for success and, and gives them an opportunity to, to put their best foot forward. And a bad candidate experience is one that creates obstacles for the candidate, and makes it difficult for them to put their best foot forward. And all the rest is really just detail. Right?

Welcome to this bonus episode in which I’ll share some recent research on Millennials and Gen Z in the workplace. 

This week I am talking with several great guests and just haven’t decided yet who I’ll air on Friday. I’ll make a decision by Thursday and post a Trailer then.

According to InsideOut Development, more than 75% of Gen Z employees believe they should be promoted in their first year on the job, these findings from a recent survey of 1,000 individuals ages 18 to 23.

These findings are something for HR and Hiring Managers to think about so they can best manage the expectations of this newest generation to join their workforces.

Thanks to my guest for this episode, James Ellis. 

For those not familiar with James (there maybe one!) he’s a keynote speaker, and employer branding expert and host of his own podcast called the Talent Cast and a self proclaimed 'ham'.  Which ended up becoming part of the title of this episode, Ham, Robots and Goldman Sachs!

James talks about how Employer Branding sets the stage for the whole candidate journey. I hope you enjoy the show and tell your friends! Connect with James via LinkedIn or his website.

This week I also published an article on the how and why I started this podcast for those interested in a little history. I say history, but we just started this 2-weeks ago so it's been a short-journey thus far!

If you like this podcast, please subscribe where ever you enjoy podcasts. So you won't miss out. And please share with your friends! This week we were finally accepted into Google Podcasts so now you can enjoy on any Android device. There will be a new episode every Friday.

Enjoy!

Thanks to Alicia Parr for sharing her wisdom on this episode of The Candidate Experience Podcast where we discuss the good, bad, and ugly of the candidate journey.  Alicia is the Principal of Performentor,  a management consultancy where they use people science to help you grow your business fast with fewer speed bumps. She paraphrased the quote attributed to the French philosopher, Voltaire "Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good". We couldn't agree more, incremental improvements to the candidate experience are all good. 

Here's the quote I read to start off this podcast from Peter Cappelli ... Companies often say people are their most important asset. But, for many, you’d never know it by the way they actually go about hiring those people.

Also, here's the link to the full article The Mistakes Firms Make With Hiring. Sorry it's behind the WSJ's paywall.
