Episode 15 | Building Recruitment Trust

The Big Themes

• Contingent agency vs. other recruiting models: The differences between contingent search (fee-based recruitment paid upon successful placement) and other recruiting models, like retained agencies and social recruiting, are explored, emphasizing the value of contingency agencies in today’s job market. Contingency agencies mean less risk for the client.
• Connecting with good candidates: Todd explains he has a good team, with many senior people who get that it’s about really understanding who that candidate is and that the candidate is an individual in addition to his or her resume. The focus shouldn’t be on sending a large number of resumes along to the client, but on the quality of the candidates.
• Opportunities in a down market: In a down market with layoffs and increased talent availability, there are still critical hiring needs. Companies must focus on essential positions, and this presents opportunities for recruiters who can deliver quality candidates efficiently.

The Big Quote: “LinkedIn is a huge asset, but, because the market is so soft, and there’s so many people in the marketplace, the postings on LinkedIn are more frustration than benefit. Because of social recruiting, a lot of candidates think that they should be following LinkedIn when in actuality they shouldn’t, they should actually be engaging with people like Todd and his team.”

In this bonus episode, we have a special guest, Tim Keckler, joining our host, Kortney Harmon. Tim is a seasoned software implementation expert and decision-maker who has worked with numerous organizations to successfully adopt new software. Today, Tim shares valuable insights on the challenges of balancing the ongoing work of producers, recruiters, and salespeople while introducing new software. He explores the importance of assembling a diverse buying committee and valuing the opinions and feedback of end users. Tim also dives into the common pitfalls in software rollouts and offers practical advice on evaluating and selecting the right software for your organization. Don't miss this episode packed with actionable tips and strategies to maximize software adoption and implementation. Let's jump right in!

Across East Africa, cult recruiters are targeting students—and young people who don’t know they’re in danger are the ones most easily trapped. How can teachers, chaplains and CU patrons equip students to recognize and resist cultic groups on campus, on social media and elsewhere? ACFAR director Rodgers Atwebembeire gives solid answers to real-life questions in this special presentation to the 2023 East Africa Christian Teachers’ Conference.

In this episode, Tudor welcomes Bobby Burack to discuss the topic of affirmative action and its impact on minority communities. They argue that affirmative action should have had an expiration date, as it has led to increased dropout rates among black and Hispanic students. They also criticize the media for not discussing the negative consequences of affirmative action and instead focusing on celebrating certain individuals. The conversation also touches on the challenges of openly discussing these topics and the need for conservatives to provide a counter-narrative to the victim mentality perpetuated by the left.
