New ways of working often spring up out of challenging times, and this shift toward fractional work makes a lot of sense for both companies and workers — especially those who want flexibility above all else.

138: Tactical Tuesday - The Recruiter's Guide to Email Deliverability Pt. 2, ft. ...Some Special Guests
Episode 138
mardi 15 octobre 2024 • Duration 12:37
In Episode 134 we shared a few quick tips on email deliverability — and since then, we've published a jam-packed Recruiter's Guide to Email Deliverability. It's a big, meaty article that tells you pretty much everything you'd ever need to know about email deliverability. But for those who don't love reading and would rather listen to their content (like, say, podcast listeners), we wanted to get that information out into the world in an audio format.
And being the mad scientist experimenters that we are, we also wanted to take this opportunity to test out a new AI feature we've been hearing a lot about. All that to say: listen with an open mind and then give us your thoughts and feedback. Or read the linked guide, which was written entirely (and paintstakingly) by humans — we promise.
Chapters:
00:00 - Intro: A human welcomes you to an AI-enhanced podcast
01:50 - Can AI teach us better? Exploring new ways to consume information
03:30 - Email deliverability decoded: AI style, with a few glitches
10:59 - Podcast wrap-up: Back to humans, no more AI (we promise)
