Bonus Episode! Retelling Talent Chooses You (in 15 minutes)

Season 2 · Episode 29

lundi 1 août 2022Duration 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 2022Duration 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 2022Duration 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?

Presenting Your Employer Brand

Episode 124

lundi 27 mai 2019Duration 43:32

When it's time to reveal your employer brand to leadership, what's your plan? Were you just going to take a page from that episode of Mad Men and make a big creative reveal? Wow, that would be a mistake. Here is my surprisingly nuts-and-bolts approach to presenting your new employer brand to leadership to increase your odds of buy-in, acceptance, and even use it as a means to clearing out obstacles in front of you.

Employer Brand Activation 101

Episode 123

lundi 20 mai 2019Duration 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! Show Notes: Yes, I can speak to your team! Yes! you can have my ebook!

Skill vs Will with Torin Ellis

Episode 122

lundi 13 mai 2019Duration 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 2019Duration 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? SHOW NOTES Since I mentioned his book, here's all of Atul Gawande's (amazing) writing MRA Bettendorf Transform - Boston RecFest - London SRSC - Philly MRA Minneapolis Recruitcon - Nashville MidwestTechRecruit - Chicago

The Big Red Phone

Episode 120

lundi 29 avril 2019Duration 46:04

Today, we try a little experiment and talk to my friend and recruitment marketing genius Tracey Parsons. Topics covered along the way: why doesn't the business work well with recruiting, creating surprise and delight in candidates and just how low the bar is t0 making most candidates thrilled to apply. If you enjoyed this "experiment," let me know! I've got a few more on deck and want to make sure its delivering value to you!

Strategy First

Episode 119

lundi 22 avril 2019Duration 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: ERE San Diego Strive Conference (Chicago!)

Control (and your lack thereof)

Episode 118

lundi 15 avril 2019Duration 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.
