Talking reimagining talent acquisition with Nate Hewitt of Sapia.ai on their Pink Squirrels Podcast.
We had a very spirited discussion around:
What companies are getting wrong with talent acquisition right now
How companies stand out against their talent competitors (even with little or no budget)
How to think differently about the roles they are filling to access more candidates.

About
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 love, love, love Korn Ferryโs 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,
My Facebook memories told me that 1 year ago today was my first appearance on Nineโs Today Show. Georgie and I had a spirited discussion about the older workforce. I was optimistic back then. I was FINALLY seeing some cracks in our decades old discrimination against older workers.
Not so much anymore. Iโve read recent stories that Ageism is still alive and well and increasing in our new COVID environment.

Iโm 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 Iโve 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 โwrong wayโ (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, itโs a poor use of limited resources that could cause more damage and exacerbate the very issues it is trying to solve.

Did you know that 65% of candidates who turn down jobs or decline to go through the entire interview process do so because of poor candidate experience, according to LinkedIn? And that only 25% of candidates are satisfied with candidate experience according to Sapia.ai?
Candidate experience is key. But what is candidate experience exactly?
My definition is an experience where every interaction leaves the candidate feeling good about:
โ Themselves (first and foremost โ even if they donโt get the job)
โ The process itself (again, even if they donโt get the job)
โ The company/brand (turn all candidates (successful or not) into raving fans
Friday funny. Youโve heard of the KISS Principle, right? Keep It Simple Stupid (or I prefer Silly). Now Iโd like to introduce the KSS Principle!
KISS Principle
My clients have told me for years that one of my superpowers is breaking down complex concepts and making them simple.
In fact, one of the best testimonials Iโve ever gotten came from Mike Saxton, who said,
A few months ago, I was leading a training session, and I mentioned the KISS Principleโฆand one of the participants said, you should rename it the KSS Principle for Kim Seeling Smith. We had a good laugh, but now I find myself saying it frequently.
