HRO Today Educational Podcast Series – Details, episodes & analysis

Companies benefit from adding contingent workers to their staffing strategy as it allows for greater flexibility and scalability. This approach can address short-term projects, specialized skill gaps, or seasonal needs without the long-term commitment of permanent hires, and it accelerates time-to-productivity. But what steps should companies take to find the right partner?

Anamarie DeVito, Vice President of Client Services for Sevenstep, visits the HRO Today Educational Podcast to discuss what it takes to manage a contingent workforce.

Listen in as Anamarie and host Elliot Clark, CEO of HRO Today, explore the importance of data beyond reporting and dissect how service providers can build trust with their partners to perform more than just the core operational work of talent recruiting and management.

When you strip everything back, it is fair to say that a business is only as good as the people working within it. As the center of attracting, developing, and organizing talent within a company, Human Resources plays a critical role to impact an organization’s productivity and profitability. But just what is going on in HR that can so heavily influence a company’s performance?

On this episode of the HRO Today Educational Podcast Series, Sarina Ryczek, Managing Partner and CHRO of Empower Partnerships, joins host Debbie Bolla, SVP and Editorial Director of HRO Today, to take a comprehensive look at the role of HR in a company.

Listen in as Sarina and Debbie discuss the primary areas and functions of an HR department and how organizing top talent can affect a company’s bottom line.

Middle-market companies are competing for the same talent as Enterprise-level organizations. However, most companies of this size have smaller hiring teams that are reactive and struggling to proactively set talent strategy and infrastructure. So how can they gain a competitive advantage? Finding a talent acquisition partner to support and guide them through can be a fruitful strategy. But where should mid-market organizations start when looking for a talent acquisition partner, and what should they expect?

To answer this question, Felix Mitchell, co-founder and CEO of Instant Impact, returns to the HRO Today Educational Podcast Series to offer his perspective on the role of Talent Partners in the middle market. Felix and host Elliot Clark, CEO of HRO Today, explore the partnerships between RPOs and small to medium-sized companies, the cost of the talent acquisition process, and how candidate experience is suffering amid it all.
