It’s the first episode of the newly named Hiring Enablement podcast, and in this bonus episode, we have an exciting announcement to make!   We’re joined by Solutions Driven CEO Gavin Speirs to speak about Solutions Driven’s new concept: Hiring Enablement.   In this podcast, Gavin talks to host Claire Murray about the advent of sales enablement and the parallels between that and the recruitment industry’s need for hiring enablement. Like sales 20 years ago, hiring managers are doing more with less time every day and are struggling to keep on top of the rapidly changing hiring market.   Gavin explains how hiring teams no longer just need transactional relationships with their recruitment partners: they need a true partnership that guarantees the right hire, first time, every time, backed by indepth processes, resources, and intelligence.   We also look at Recruitment Process Intelligence – the processes that Solutions Driven use to make hires and how this works in synergy with Hiring Enablement to get the results companies need in this tough business world.   And most of all how this isn’t a hiring revolution – it's a hiring evolution that responds to current business needs and will continue to grow and evolve as hiring continues to change.  

Hands up if you work remotely or spend at least some of the week working from home?   As increasing numbers of us look for more flexible working arrangements, it’s clear how we hire, train, and develop people is changing – and will keep shifting.   So, who better to discuss this changing world than someone whose skills span talent and development, training, headhunting, and much more?   In episode 32 of The Talent Intelligence Podcast, we welcome Marina Blanco, a globetrotting talent guru with opinions on the workforce of the future.   Listen as host Claire Murray discusses the topic with Marina, and looks at:   How you cope when someone turns up to an interview having partaken in some “liquid courage”   Why companies need to be offering something different and special to attract new candidates   The importance of being a self-starter   How HR is evolving to invest more in candidates   What Marina would tell her younger self getting into the talent space   And much more  

Picture the scene... You’re at final stage interviews for a Talent Manager role. During the interview, the CEO, your potential new boss, says “I don’t really believe in Talent Management”... What do you do? Run away? Take the job? Try and bring him round to your way of thinking?  In the latest episode of The Talent Intelligence Podcast, Current Lighting’s Courtney Abraham tells us how she dealt with the situation when it happened to her in real life. (Spoiler alert: she took the job and won over the CEO).  Listen as Courtney sits down with host Dave Sweeney to discuss awkward interviews and:   Why it’s vital to invest in your own people who know your business and culture   Why it’s easier to step up in an organisation than step in   How to succession plan for an ageing workforce   The importance of transparency throughout transitions   And much much more.   Hear about Courtney’s inspiring career including time spent at Adecco, roles in change management and L&D, and what advice she’d give her younger self if she were starting out in HR.
