TaPod - We Talk Talent Acquisition.

In this episode of our Summer Series we revisit one of our most raw and revealing episodes ever, TaPod speaks with Stu Holmes Founder of The Green Collar. Fresh off his presentation at ATC2023, Stu has spent time in prison himself for armed robbery and we look at how it affected him both inside and upon his release. Stu spends his days now dedicated to helping people who have been in jail get a second chance… and find a bridge back to employment.

In an environment where many industries just can’t find talent there is a ready-made workforce here to consider.

Stu’s story is compelling and is a lesson in how anyone’s life can go off the rails… it’s what you do next that counts. Thanks to Jo Vohland for choosing this interview.
Big Shout Out to TaPod Connect for sponsoring the Summer Series!

Today we bring you the first in TaPod's Summer Series of Podcasts! This week Lauren has chosen to revisit a fun and informative chat with  ‘Big Al’ Schirmer – GM Technology & Innovation at TQ Solutions from back in September.
Alistair is at the forefront of building Tech Stacks that support talent functions and his insights on AI and how they will affect HRtech are unmissable. He encourages us to embrace AI and look at it like an Administrator or Assistant to help us make recruitment easier.
According to Alastair we are entering a golden age of Tech and who are we to argue? 
It’s really fascinating and anyone looking to explore their tech should take a listen.
Thanks to TaPod Connect for supporting the Summer Series!

We are so excited at TaPod to have one of the brilliant global minds, Dr Margie Warrell back on our podcast! Last time Margie spoke to us about Imposter Syndrome and this time we focus on Survivor Guilt. With all the lay-offs in our industry what about those left behind? The why me questions… We discuss all of this with Margie. Not only that we ask the really tough questions relating to her recent visit the Whitehouse (hobnobbing with Albo & Joe), like… ‘What’s the toilet like?’ 

It’s a fascinating chat and we are very thankful to Margie for sharing her thoughts with us.

A big shout out to refapp for supporting us this month.

We cover AI in recruitment and all of the shenanigans going on at OpenAI… X goes Job Board… Livehire CEO takes a pay cut… WFH banned!... speaking of banning should your workplace ban the Christmas party?

Once in a while we sit down with someone that completely blows us away and on TaPod this week that’s exactly what happened! We caught up with Dom Price from Atlassian at the HR and L&D Innovation Techfest. Dom is a Work Futurist and TED Speaker and quite simply we could listen to him all day. But in Dom’s own words nothing he says holds any value unless you take action. So bolt in for the next 40 minutes, turn the mirror on yourself, ‘remove stuff’ and make change… Dom makes it easy.

Lauren also admits to being 50% bogan Australian… she was probably being a little conservative.

Thanks to RefApp for your brilliant support this month

Thanks to the brilliant people at Indeed for the support.

This week on Tapod, Craig is forced to fly solo as the Optus outage kept Lauren offline. He sat down with ‘Best Vendor Solution’ winners from ITAs2023, Giovanni Ribudiyanto from Allianz & Damian Bridge from Oncore.

If you have a contingent workforce you really need to ask yourself 4 questions… Do you easily know how many contractors/contingent workers are in your business? Do you know where they are in your business? Do you know how much they are costing you and do you know if they are fully compliant?

If you answered no to any of those questions  you should really take a listen. Even if you answered yes give it a go!

Thanks to RefApp for your brilliant Support this month.

Today on Tapod we Get ziggy with it… Ziggy Dequito from Workpro to be exact! And WOW – didn’t we learn a thing or three!

 It’s not me… it’s you – Challenging the status quo of Australia’s Hiring landscape is the new Whitepaper recently released by Workpro… It’s a great piece of research… it’s driven by a survey of almost 2,500 candidates and sets about myth-busting some of the most widely accepted notions across the recruitment industry. It is simply a must-listen – and we’ve put a link to download the whitepaper in the comments… you’re welcome.
