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.

When you’re under the spotlight, it can be easy to overlook the fact that creating an outstanding conference experience is a team effort. How can you make sure you’re a speaker the tech crew loves to...
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.
There is more and more research now backing up my gut feel. Here are two articles that unpack this pretty nicely.
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.

Right, so I’m back after almost 6 weeks. What did I miss? Other than a new PM in Australia, more gun violence in the US…and the fact that, according to the OECD, Australia has the second tightest skills market in the world.
You may have noticed that I haven’t been posting much over the last 5 – 6 weeks because I’ve been in the US speaking at the annual Association for Talent Development (ATD) conference (funnily enough about employee retention).
