In 2009 CEO and founder Kim Seeling Smith started Ignite Global after deciding that instead of being paid to put bums in seats (working as a recruiter for the 15 years prior to that) she wanted to help More
I’m cheating a bit. Last week I promised to post 3 things that I found inspiring every Friday. Today I’m posting 20.
Last night I attended Consult Australia‘s FutureNet awards night for NSW (magnificently convened by Linda Gaunt). It was a COVID-safe event held in the Grand Ballroom of the ICC in Sydney. There were only 30 people in attendance including 19 of the 20 participants, all 4 of the mentors and the facilitators, like me, who...
I loved this article about the things companies get wrong when writing job descriptions. I only disagree with their first point. A long job description/job ad isn’t necessarily a bad thing. I’ve helped clients write very lengthy but VERY compelling job descriptions that vividly describes the company culture and values, outlines what the prospective candidate can achieve in the role and what they need to bring to the table (innate abilities and strengths) to be successful.

I’m curious, what has your experience been with implicit bias training?
Having spent 15 years working as a professional recruiter and 11 years teaching hiring managers how to hire more effectively and efficiently I’ve always felt that implicit bias training was a waste of time.

Even worse, there is consistent evidence that bias training done the “wrong way” (think lukewarm diversity training) can actually have the opposite impact, inducing anger and frustration among white employees. What this all means is that, despite the widespread calls for implicit bias training, it will likely be ineffective at best; at worst, it’s a poor use of limited resources that could cause more damage and exacerbate the very issues it is trying to solve.

I had a great time speaking to Ben O’Shea on The West Australian‘s The West Live show about what really drives people to change jobs.
Like in all booms, companies within WA are losing great people for the allure of a high pay packet working in a FIFO environment. Can leaders do anything to stop this from happening (spoiler alert – yes!).
Why do people look for other roles (spoiler alert – despite what most leaders think, it’s rarely about money)?
What do you do if you lose someone that you don’t want to lose? Can you entice them back (spoiler alert – statistically, yes, 20% of the time).
I love, love, love Korn Ferry‘s research, and the Future of Work Trends 2022: A New Era of Humanity report does not disappoint. One of the best quotes from page 6 is,
