    Episode 308 - Discrimination following Maternity leave... it's time to call it out.

    This week on TaPod we jump head-first into International Women’s Day celebrations (or as Lauren says… International Women’s Week), by catching up with our great friend Sarah Purches – Talent Strategy & Experience Manager at RMIT Online.

    Sarah’s journey is an inspiration and let’s just call a spade a spade – we just don’t talk enough about parental leave and all the pressures surrounding the massive life changes it brings with it. Up to 50% of women experience discrimination in the workplace when returning from maternity leave and that’s just not good enough. We talk MAFS… menopause & IWD cupcakes. This episode is pretty Raw. Let’s explore… (and that rhymes in case you missed it).

    Episode 294 - Summer Series - Holy Crap! Now Candidates are using AI... we're entering the age of the Terminator...

    In TaPod's final episode of the 2024 Summer Series, It's Craig's pick... and he takes us back to a fascinating catch up with the brilliant Hung Lee to discuss how candidates are gaming the system with AI. This is one of the most interesting podcasts we’ve ever done. It’s thought-provoking and gives us a window into the (not too distant future). Hung always shares some very ‘left field’ thoughts like AI fulfilling the majority of the recruitment process from both sides – interacting back and forth before humans get involved – but where does that leave us? Are we entering the Age of the Terminator?
