TaPod - We Talk Talent Acquisition.

Welcome to our special partner podcast for this month. Lee-Martin Seymour takes us through the evolution of XRef from automated reference checking to some amazing survey tech that allows you to conduct exit and engagement surveys. Growing from the concept of ‘5 fun questions on Friday’ to a complete hire to retire (and sometimes fire) solution.

And there’s more to come! Watch this space as Xref help you solve your talentpooling challenges.

It’s a great listen!

WOW! This week on TaPod we 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?

Thanks to Xref for your amazing support this month.

It’s because of groups like MelbRecMeetUp that recruiters continue to network, develop and grow the profession and it helps all of us… thank you.
