- Ready to Build a Talent Sourcing Team in HR? Here are 3 Tips to Get StartedSHRMApr 2017I’ve had a great response from HR leaders on my earlier blog showing why the Outbound Sourcer was the most important hire to make in 2017. As the landscape of talent acquisition shifts it’s great to see not only Tech companies but traditional industries also moving towards this model. Over coffees and calls across different continents the most common question to me is: How do I build an Outbound Sourcing team from scratch? Based on years of experience leading a global Tech 50 Sourcing team and conversations with over 100 current talent leaders, here are three tips to get started: 1. Hire the right People It seems like a no brainer but the DNA of an Outbound Sourcer is drastically different from most HR personalities. Keep in mind th

Have you felt it? The old days of your best hires coming from applicants ended somewhere around 2012. Can you still make hires via your ATS, certainly. Are they the best at their position? Not really. Ask any talent leader at a high-growth company how much of their budget is allocated towards agency spend and you’ll more than likely get a huge groan and then an astounding number. So how do you put those dollars to better use? Simple: hire an Outbound Talent Source
- 3 Reasons to Hire a VeteranSHRMOct 2016Full disclosure: I've never served in any branch of the military, but I have spent the past decade in talent acquisition. This has given me the great opportunity to interview and hire veterans. It started when I began early in my recruiting career in staffing. A friend returned from two tours in Afghanistan and was looking for work. Although college educated, he didn't have experience outside of the military. This motivated him to take on any opportunity temporary for the chance to quantify how his experience would transfer into the corporate world. He also was willing to take any temp role to start building his professional resume. For each assignment we threw at him (and there were some doozy's), he showed up early and stayed late.
- Why the Cubs Winning the World Series is a Love Story to HRSHRMNov 2016It finally happened Wednesday night. The lovable losers, The Chicago Cubs, raised the World Series trophy as champions. In doing so, they erased 108 years of frustration. As the world watched (and celebrated) with them, I couldn’t stop thinking how much of their story mirrors situations often faced by today’s talent leaders. A new leader rarely walks into a good situation. We all hope to land our dream job, but the reality is there’s usually a caveat. Finally landed a role with your dream company, but had to take a step down in title? You finally made that coveted Manager/Director/VP of Talent Acquisition role, but did so joining a company in distress? These are common scenarios recruiting leaders face.
