Ep 283: Recruiting Automation Strategy Jul 14, 2020

We're at the halfway point of 2020, and it's clear we are at the starting point of a period of significant change in talent acquisition the speed of which none of us would have predicted six months ago. It's also evident that Recruiting Automation is one of the critical pillars of this change.

I've always felt that as an industry we've had a very head in the sand attitude to automation and debate has been overly focused on specific tools and minor details. That has to change, and we have to look at automation from a strategic perspective.

At the recent TA Global Gathering digital conference, I delivered a presentation on recruiting automation strategy, and I'm really pleased to able to publish the audio from that presentation as this episode of the podcast.

Key points I cover:

• The rise of intelligent recruiting

• Why automation is so important right now

• What can, should and actually is being automated

• The potential for Robotic Process Automation (RPA) in talent acquisition

• The importance of strategic thinking from TA leaders

• Five fundamental questions to address

Content marketing and its critical role in recruitment marketing and employer branding is a topic very close to my heart and something we have covered many times on the podcast.

Ep 281: Skills, Mobility and AI Jul 03, 2020

Show notes

We are currently living through a period of time where assessment that's based on skills and potential has never been more critical. As the economic crisis plays out, employers need to understand the skills base within their workforces to drive mobility and enable redeployment. At the same time, correctly understanding the transferable skills of available talent will help companies make some fantastic hires.

Unfortunately, though recruiting is still dominated by a reliance on resumes and other outdated practices. So how might this be changed and how can technology help to drive our industry forward.

My guest this week is Todd Raphael from Eightfold. Todd has been studying and writing about the talent acquisition for over 20 years and has some great insights to share about skills-based recruiting.

In the interview, we discuss:

• The most significant developments in talent acquisition in the last ten years

• Outdated recruiting methods

• The benefits of skilled, focused hiring

• Transferable skills in an economic crisis

• Redeployment to prevent layoffs

• The role of AI

• Innovating to improve internal mobility

• Mitigating bias

• The future potential of intelligent automation
