Valerie and I discuss innovating from within.

Recruiting chat with Inez, what we love about recruiting!

Welcome to Episode #14 of the recruiting Superhero. Does the candidate suffer in the hiring process? Is your recruitment function failing before its started...Why NOT thinking about your recruitment process could be your biggest mistake yet.... are your candidates enjoying the process.
This weeks episode is totally leaning with content I have been releasing all about culture, candidate Journey, processes and how you make people feel.
In this episode, you will meet Hakon Junge.  Hakon is the Chief Commercial Officer for Capdesk, a start-up with a bright future. Hakon is just as passionate about candidates as me… and in this weeks episode we geek it all out in a bouncy full on conversation addressing this very topic…. WHY it is NOT cool to just write up a job spec and wait for people to apply.
We talk about the process behind recruiting and what it looks like in a successful business and how the old – "You are not quite right in terms of culture fit" feedback should be thrown to the bottom of a black hole!
Listen intently as Hakon describes his own processes at Capdesk and just how polished they are – you will be enlightened by his drive, passion and advocacy for the candidate journey..... right from the moment the candidates can even say the words I want to work in Capdesk they will be enthralled by the journey!
This episode will not disappoint – learn how to switch on your hiring processes and evolve in to something quite magical!
