  Beyond the Résumé: How to Find Talent in the Places Everyone Overlooks w/ Jay Kondrup & Justin Brower

  Nov 13, 202535 minS0

  <p >Everyone says they want "top talent." But most recruiters look for it in all the same places. The same résumés, the same titles, the same predictable career paths.</p> <p > And now, with LinkedIn doing most of the heavy lifting, many recruiters have forgotten how to actually recruit. They inbox, keyword search, and wait for the algorithm to serve up the same recycled profiles, and then wonder why their placements feel interchangeable.</p> <p >Talent rarely looks the way you expect it to. Sometimes it's the Ivy League grad working as an accountant for a supermarket chain; a...

  Nov 6, 202528 minS0

  <p >In manufacturing, people are always talking about innovation. But very often, the focus on automation, robotics, and AI leaves out the real key to performance and progress. </p> <p >The frontline workers who make everything run.</p> <p >For decades, the frontline workforce has been managed like machinery: interchangeable, replaceable, and measured only in hours worked or units produced. </p> <p >But if you've ever walked a plant floor, you know the truth: one great employee can change the entire rhythm of production.

  <p >Businesses everywhere are facing the same challenge: trying to meet financial goals, production goals, and staffing needs, all at once.

  What Every Recruiter Needs to Know About Public Health Talent w/ Dr. Desiree Strickland

  Oct 14, 202528 minS0

  <p >Public health is one of the most misunderstood fields in the job market. It's full of people who quietly hold entire communities together, designing prevention programs, managing data, and saving lives. Yet they're often underpaid, overlooked, and invisible to recruiters.</p> <p >The irony is that the very professionals trained to serve others often struggle to advocate for themselves. </p> <p >They're taught to be humble, to focus on the team, and to chase the same oversaturated government jobs as everyone else. It leaves brilliant, mission-driven people stuck, and a huge pool of untapped talent hiding in plain sight.<...

  Why Veteran Hiring Strategies Fail and How Companies Can Get It Right w/ Emily King Grandinetta

  Sep 26, 202535 minS0

  <p> </p> <p >Companies constantly talk about hiring and supporting veterans. While that sounds patriotic and well-intentioned, they often miss the mark on execution. </p> <p><br /> <br /></p> <p >Recruiting campaigns, hiring pledges, and onboarding slide decks look good on paper, yet the results are sobering: too many veteran hires fail. </p> <p >It's not because they can't lead, it's because both sides underestimate the culture shock of the transition.</p> <p >Employers assume an officer's leadership skills will automatically translate. Veterans assume their adaptability in uniform will carry them through. Those unspoken assumptions collide, and the fallout results in...
