This week, we continue the conversation about recruiting and remote work. Tamara talks to Karla Porter, Human Capital Advisor and Derek Cotton, Talent Acquisition Manager at Capital Group | American Funds. We covered a lot of ground–how remote work is opening up the talent pool for employers, how job seekers can find the job they want without moving across the country, and the ‘always available’ mentality that has permeated many workplaces. We also discussed the realities of inclusivity & diversity in the workplace (we’ll do a deeper dive in an upcoming episode) and what recruiters say about how to stand out when looking for work. If you have not listened to episode 11, be sure to go back and listen to Pavel’s interview with Maren Kate.
