Hiring Excellence with Johnny Campbell

Understanding what your audience wants is crucial, no matter what industry you are in. But when it comes to hiring, often a lot of focus is given to the organization’s mindset and values – the things they want from employees. But if you were to look behind the veil, at what candidates themselves are really searching for in jobs and roles, do you think that the two would be aligned?  Joining u...

We’ve had a slight change of plan for today’s episode of The Shortlist. Unfortunately, our guest Lori Sylvia, the Founder of Rally Recruitment Marketing, was unable to join us, but never fear, we can’t wait to welcome her to the show in the very near future! Instead, we have a bit of a retrospective episode for you. Last November, we launched an online event entitled, SocialTalent Live: Hiring at...

Creating positive employee engagement can be a rather complex situation. Many factors play a role in how we experience work, but if one thing’s for sure – most companies can do a lot better. From the hiring process to onboarding and beyond, organizations are presented with a plethora of opportunities to make work richer and more memorable, yet invariably fail to capitalize. Joining us to discuss t...

When it comes to diversity and inclusion efforts in organizations, often the major focus is placed solely on hiring diverse talent. And while this is an important step, without a psychologically safe and inclusive environment to support and value these employees, you’ll find it increasingly difficult to retain and engage your staff. Joining us to discuss this topic is Madison Butler. Founder and C...

As 2021 comes to a close, we thought that there’d be no better way to wrap up this season of The Shortlist than to welcome back an absolute legend of the recruiting world, Gerry Crispin. The Principal and Co-Founder of CareerXroads, Gerry is a renowned speaker, author and walking encyclopaedia on all things talent and hiring. And it’s this depth of knowledge that we’re going to be tapping into tod...

We’re feeling nostalgic on The Shortlist this week! With over 40 unique episodes in the bag for 2021, it’s time to look back at some of the best advice we’ve received over the course of the year. Every guest we’ve had on has contributed immensely to our shortlist, graciously imparting pearls of wisdom on all the topics that have shaped this incredibly uncertain year. So, to dive into this cor...

As the world grappled with the onset of a pandemic in early 2020, it also rather disappointingly saw an increase in anti-Asian sentiment associated with this. From the disproportionate representation of South-East Asians on news stories regarding COVID to growing reports of verbal and physical abuse and even xenophobic scapegoating from political leaders, it seemed like the virus almost afforded p...

Given everything that has happened over the last eighteen months, it’s not surprising that we’ve essentially gone through an identity crisis around work. Power has shifted from employer to employee as work has changed from somewhere we go to something we do. This in turn has also altered how we prioritize other aspects of ourselves and how we approach work. So what does this mean for employers and...

It’s always important to be on the lookout for underutilized sources of talent. Given how competitive the current market is, being able to attract star candidates is a huge boon for any organization. And there’s one pool in particular that often gets overlooked – the unemployed. With an unemployment rate of around 7% in the EU, this offers a huge opportunity for companies to find amazing employees...

The role that media platforms, like film and television, play in advancing the DE&I movement cannot be understated. Visual, mainstream representations of diversity help massively to normalize conversations and promote inclusion. But, it’s also never been more important for companies to truly embed this same tactic in how they push for greater diversity. TV and movies are evolving to authentica...

There has never been a more crucial time to build a culture of hiring within your organization. Given the ever-escalating number of vacancies, it’s important to ensure that hiring is seen as a team sport. It is a function that should be aligned and woven into the very DNA of a company and not siloed to a single person. In this special edition of The Shortlist, Johnny Campbell looks back on an intr...

But for many trans people, the fear of stigma and discrimination can lead to devastating consequences when it comes to looking for employment, job satisfaction and emotional wellbeing.

The drive for diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace is perhaps the most important cause for every organization. And while progress has been made, there is still considerable work to be done – on every front. But for this week’s episode of The Shortlist, we’re going to be focusing on race in the context of hiring. The murder of George Floyd in 2020 reignited conversations about inequali...

When we think about executive recruiting, the model often follows a very traditional route that focuses on headhunting talent outside the company with the experience deemed necessary to fulfil a role. But there is an element of this process that is often overlooked at the detriment to success – internal mobility. Joining us on the show to discuss this is Roopesh Panchasra, the Global Head of Execut...

Finding a way, as an organization, to stand out from the crowd in a way that’s both authentic and compelling is becoming an ever trickier task. In this post-pandemic environment, where trust and humanity are rising to the top in terms of key employee needs, how can you create a successful employer brand that reflects the changing environment? Well luckily we have a true expert on the show this wee...

We speak about diversity, equity and inclusion a lot on The Shortlist because it is such an important thing for every organization to drive. Workplaces need to be environments where ALL people can feel comfortable, accommodated and free from prejudice and discrimination. But we know there is still so much to be done on this front, and it’s crucial to dig into each specific cohort to understand the...

COVID flipped the script for the workplace and talent.  We can hardly get through an episode without saying this!  And while the pandemic has seen a wave of negative impacts, it also offered opportunity for change. It brought perspective on what’s important and unlocked a huge amount of potential for a new way of operating. People are altered since COVID and if organizations want to attr...

t’s difficult to stem the tide of technical innovation. In every facet of our lives, technology is constantly being developed to improve processes and increase efficiency. And recruitment is certainly not immune from these advances either. Every year, new tools are being created with the promise of helping organizations find and hire the right people in a manner that’s faster and cheaper than ever...

The world of work has changed irrevocably. And as we continue to navigate the choppy waters of the pandemic, it’s becoming ever more important for organizations to plan with uncertainty in mind. After pivoting so quickly in the wake of COVID, we have to now take stock – we must look back at what worked, what didn’t, what core elements are missing and adjust business strategies to facilitate more o...

Millions of US workers are resigning from their jobs in a phenomenon that’s being referred to as the “Great Resignation.” A variety of reasons have been cited for this exodus, ranging from the effects of long-term lockdown giving people more clarity on their future, to disgruntlement over poor working conditions and lack of flexibility. And while this is currently a very US-centric issue, the tren...

Leaders make a huge difference in any organization. They set the tone, have the ability to rally employees and become a linchpin for success. But in the charity sector, there is often much more at stake. So it’s imperative that leaders of NGOs can both deliver on results and inspire action. Which makes hiring them a trickier and complex proposition. So with that in mind, we’re delighted to be spea...

It’s the next installment in our summer series here on The Shortlist, and in this episode, we’re going to be looking back on our event, SocialTalent Live: Onboarding in a Virtual World, from earlier in the year. We’re broadcasting a talk from Anjana Sreedevi, the Global Onboarding Design and Delivery Leader at IBM, about how she and the company redesigned their approach to remote onboarding during...

There can be absolutely no denying the need for diversity, equity and inclusion in the workplace. But, when we use the term “diversity,” it’s important to remember what this actually means. Types of diversity are theoretically infinite. They encompass every characteristic that appears with variations among a group of people. So, if we are to make organizations truly inclusive, we have to look beyo...

It’s been just over a year since the murder of George Floyd sparked a renaissance for diversity and inclusivity tactics in organizations around the world. But there is still so much work to be done on this front. In this special edition of The Shortlist, we want to look back on a panel originally broadcast in November 2020 at SocialTalent Live. It brought together four leaders from big organizatio...
