Bonus Episode! Retelling Talent Chooses You (in 15 minutes)
Season 2 · Episode 29
lundi 1 août 2022 • Duration 21:55
I hope you enjoyed the podcast-as-audiobook update of Talent Chooses You. As a special bonus to celebrate/announce the launch of EmployerBrandLabs, I challenged myself to "retell" the book in just 15 minutes.
And I think I succeeded. Enjoy!
Final Thoughts on Talent Chooses You
Season 2 · Episode 28
mercredi 27 juillet 2022 • Duration 21:30
I started this book as a way to champion the idea of employer branding. But along the way, I wanted to temper it with reality, the honest challenges and frustrations and employer brand professional faces. Building an employer brand, in whatever capacity you choose to do it, is intensely hard work.
What we do is ART. Embrace it.
Distilling and Communicating the Brand
Season 2 · Episode 19
mercredi 25 mai 2022 • Duration 26:42
If you understand what motivates some people, you can look within your company and see which of these motivations you are rewarding. Are you rewarding people who innovate and drive change, or treat them like rabble rousers and try to silence them? Are you promoting the people who cultivate your “together” culture, or focus on the ones who do the best individual work? When you say you are trying to save the world, are you recognizing the people who work towards that goal or the people focused on developing their own career ladder?

Employer Brand Activation 101
Episode 123
lundi 20 mai 2019 • Duration 37:32
A great brand position, brand promise or even strategy that sits in a deck without being used is 100% worthless. So while thinking strategically is a great start, you need to activate the brand in order to see your employer brand's value. While we've talked about specific channels and media before, we've never thought through activation as a concept. In this episode, we'll reveal the secret to activating your employer brand across any channel in any company. Enjoy!

Skill vs Will with Torin Ellis
Episode 122
lundi 13 mai 2019 • Duration 43:53
While I'm a big believer and proponent of opening the doors to let everyone find frustration and satisfaction at work, as a middle-ages white guy, I always feel out of my depth. Luckily, I know a guy who lives and breathes diversity. We have yet another rambling conversation on what its going to take to change minds and the world. I'm a huge fan of Torin Ellis, but I'm also his friend, so I'm tickled purple to bring him onto the podcast. And for real: if you get the chance to hear him speak, do it. The man's got the mojo.

Why Hiring Is So Hard
Episode 121
lundi 6 mai 2019 • Duration 35:51
Haven't we been doing this recruiting thing for a LONG time already? Does it feel like we're not really getting any better at it, that we're all throwing up our hands and giving up that things can be better.
And if we look at recruiters and sourcers and HRBPs and hiring managers as independent actors instead of an integrated system, that might be true. But pilots and surgeons face similar problems with far higher stakes and have found ways to achieving much better outcomes. What can they teach us about improving hiring systems?

Strategy First
Episode 119
lundi 22 avril 2019 • Duration 38:26
How do you define "strategy?" Go ahead. I'll wait. It's a lot harder than you might expect. Now take the definition and see how it fits as your employer brand strategy. A little awkward? Here's the deal: it's very rare that any of us are taught "strategy" as a concept, and yet our jobs depend on our ability to develop and execute one. In this episode we go hard into what a strategy is and how you should go about developing one. Show Notes:

Control (and your lack thereof)
Episode 118
lundi 15 avril 2019 • Duration 29:51
It's so much easier to work on and with the things we control. But... that's pretty limiting, isn't it? Especially in our jobs where we control almost nothing at all. If you want to succeed as an employer brand or recruitment marketing pro, the smart move is to ignore the things we control and focus on what we don't. Show notes:
