As soon as I was introduced to Iris Kroonstuiver, I knew it was going to be an amazing conversation and it sure is, grab pen and paper. Of course, Iris is an exceptional hiring leader (referred by Alla Pavlova, thank you!) so you'll hear some great tips for partnering better with recruiters and lesson learned as she grew into the role of hiring leader and her new role at GameHouse.  But I also had...

At the end of this conversation, you'll know why I was excited to speak to Operations Director, Kay Epps, after Michael Goldberg kindly made the introduction.  Kay talks about 'loving the bricks', working in a white male-dominated industry, and the resilience it took to secure the career she loves - a great lesson for today's new grads! Plus why it's important to have a coach & support network. We...

Without hesitation, Alla Pavlova said, "Joshua Hoffman!" when I asked for a fabulous hiring leader to interview and in 30 minutes you'll understand why! As a recruiter, she has seen how the engineers respect him and his effective hiring decisions.

Suzanne Wolko is a fabulous Financial Services Executive with experience in Finance, HR and Operations, and a slayer of "this is how we've always done it" mentality which I adore, of course. She doesn't fit in a box. A recruiter's nightmare to understand instantly and overlooked because let's be honest, we don't really know what to do with, erm, hybrids. 😖 In fact, a recruiter called her weird! W...

You are seeing more people talk about how, there needs to be more mental health, resources, and communities. It starts from these small, one-on-one conversations to these larger like workplace conversations to these policy conversations. It all bridges out. That's why we can't stop talking about it. Tamara Raspberry talks to us about mental health and the importance of having transparent conversat...

By the end of this interview with CIO & CTO, Peter Nichol, two of his books were in my shopping basket (but don't tell him I was multi-tasking!).

Plus Peter shares his tips for interviewing, how he's grown as a hiring manager, and of course why you'll ben...

There was never going to be anyone else but Glenn Elliott as the first guest on The Hiring Partner Perspective (Unedited) and why will become very clear to you during the course of this episode. Glenn & I met when I ran the very first DisruptHR London event and he invited me to his offices to discuss how Reward Gateway could support the event. Glenn was totally in support of my decision to use spo...
