My guest on today's podcast is Roselle de Kruijk, the Country Director of Fanployer. Roselle's ideas (and Fanployer's) align very strongly with my own, to build the best company, you need the best people. Part of this is EVP and employer branding, and we dive into both on the podcast. If you've been thinking about your talent branding, and what candidates think of your business as a potential place to work, this is the episode for you. I know that EVP is a hot topic for my clients, so if you'd like to connect with me and learn more about EVP, Fanployer, or Rosewood Partners, you can find me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or on the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Rosewood Partners website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠email⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

My guest on today's podcast is Chris Aitchson, the CTO of Ferocia and Up Bank. I was lucky enough to visit Chris in the Up Bank offices and I quickly understood what he meant by the line “culture is expensive”. He doesn’t just mean fancy offices and a great coffee machine (which they do have), but it's clear that a culture requires real investment, and a deliberate focus from leadership. We dive into this, as well as ways to build good team balance in the tech space, and how to get great outcomes by maximising autonomy. If you'd like to connect with me and learn more about Rosewood Partners or provide some feedback on the show, you can find me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or on the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Rosewood Partners website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠email⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

John Taylor is the former Chief Information Officer at MedHealth, having previously held key leadership roles at AGL, PwC, British American Tobacco, IBM, and IAG. This makes him as well-placed as any to discuss hiring in the technology sector. Although the conversation is centred around hiring, what's clearest to me is the important role that good leadership plays ultimately making those hires' success once they start. This pairs well with the Scott Wall episode, as they are both centred around hiring in the technology sector. If you'd like to connect with me and learn more about Rosewood Partners or provide some feedback on the show, you can find me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠ or on the ⁠⁠⁠⁠Rosewood Partners website⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠email⁠⁠⁠⁠.

Pan Perera founded of Elevar Career Coaching with his passion to help international graduates and skilled migrants to land the jobs that they deserve and pursue their dream careers. His passion for helping people find their dream careers and helping businesses to hire great people overlap a lot with mine, and I've learnt a lot just following Pan on LinkedIn (I highly recommend following him if you're in recruitment). In this episode, we dive into the challenges that migrants face when trying to enter the Australian workforce without local experience, the office-culture differences that migrants need to be aware of and businesses should be assisting with, and why businesses should be making it a priority to get this part of hiring right (diversity leads to better business outcomes). If you'd like to connect with me and learn more about Rosewood Partners or provide some feedback on the show, you can find me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or on the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Rosewood Partners website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠email⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

My guest on today's podcast is Stuart Elliot, CEO and Co-Founder of Planet Innovation, which was the business I worked in immediately before founding Rosewood Partners. Stuart is a technology innovation expert and business leader, and his experience growing a business from 4 cofounders to 400 employees is both inspiring and instructive.
