| Identifying Transferable Skills - Episode 2 - Garry Harrison, Chief Executive Officer at OARO | 10 oct. 2022 | 00:46:30 | |
Identifying transferable skills in candidates is an essential skill for recruiters in today’s workplace. Talent who have the relevant soft skills (or hard skills as I refer to them) are in short supply. When you meet someone who claims to be strategic, driven and focussed, it sounds too good to be true. Then they evidence it by claiming to be in the top 1% of marathon finishers and using the same strategy whilst wearing brogues that they do in their Nikes. You might worry that they’re looking for an easy, repetitive experience at work that reflects their Sunday morning training run, but not this guy! He loves to sail the high seas, the rougher the better, and he has the same approach in his oilskins as he does his suit jacket. He is as fanatical about the Financial Services industry as he is about his leisure pursuits. That person is this week’s guest, Garry Harrison, Chief Executive Officer at OARO. In this episode, we talk about why diversity is key to the success of our teams, how happiness can increase productivity and fulfilment, how NFTs play into seamless, ticketless travel and how technology can help us fight climate change.

We are excited to speak to John Gaunt as our first guest on The Disruptive Podcast! Growing up, his homeland of South Africa was still in the midst of apartheid so he followed what some would describe as, a rather unconventional career path.

From this early experience, John enjoyed what he describes as an early gap year on his hitch-hike. He gained an appreciation for a disciplined attitude and a profound inner strength to know that whatever happened, he would be OK and finally get a top-class education. What was to follow was an enviable career trajectory with our guest. Proving to be a natural leader in his field of expertise, from his formative career days in Accenture, to now sitting on the board at leading Financial Services digital transformation consulting firm, Synechron.
