School of Hiring School of Hiring

Welcome to the School of Hiring podcast, where in this episode we dive into the complexities of leadership hiring with our special guest, Anaïs Neumann. Anaïs is the Head of Global Executive Recruiting at HelloFresh and a Career Coach & Podcast Host of The Curious Recruiter.
As the market pace accelerates and strategies constantly evolve, finding the perfect fit for a company's leadership position has become more challenging than ever before. In the past, a cookie-cutter profile may have sufficed, but in today's landscape, traditional pedigrees no longer guarantee success. Instead, it's a leader's attitude and communication skills that are emerging as key indicators of success.
Anaïs joins us to discuss the changing nature of leadership hiring and the reasons why tried-and-tested methods of the past may no longer be sufficient in today's business world. We also explore how leaders should define their hiring needs and initiate a hiring process.
Creating an exhaustive hiring brief is crucial for hiring managers to ensure that their team is on the same page, and Anaïs provides valuable insights on how to compose that brief. Additionally, she shares her tips on ensuring a positive hiring process that is informative to the candidate and gives a higher success rate for the hiring team.
Tune in to the School of Hiring podcast to learn more about the changing landscape of leadership hiring and how to make the right hire for your company's success.

Boom to Bust Hiring - The Foundations of Sustainable Employment

Sustainable employment practices that prioritize stable, continuous employment for workers can have many benefits for both the employees and the companies they work for. In this episode of the School of Hiring podcast, we'll explore the concept of sustainable employment and how companies can implement policies that prioritize job security and stability for their employees. 

We'll discuss the impact of layoffs and fluctuations in employment on workers and their families, as well as the benefits of offering long-term job security, such as increased job satisfaction, employee loyalty, and reduced turnover rates. 

Joining us today to delve into the importance of sustainable employment practices and the positive impact they can have on both workers and businesses alike I have Hessel Reimerink, VP Talent and Employee Experience at OBI.

In his role, Hung has a unique helicopter view of the recruitment space across industries, markets and niches.

It is thus no surprise that when he speaks people take note.
In this episode we discuss:

1. How has recruitment changed over the last 10 years
2. What changes have have there been in the leadership and executive search segment
3. How has the importance of nurturing relationships with candidates changed and how can companies get better at this.
4. What is the difference between recruitment, talent acquisition, headhunting and executive search and when is one better than the other.
5. At what point do you decide to use an external agency vs your inhouse talent team.
6. How has the introduction of technology/AI into recruitment & executive search changed things.

And much much more!

In this episode of the School of Hiring podcast I wanted to look further into the topic of how the world of work is evolving and what impact this is having on (and will continue to have on) how we not only hire but also retain people within our organisations.
I am joined by Jessica Kafka. She is an international HR executive with more than ten years experience in orchestrating strategic transformation projects, managing people product lifecycles, heading employee experience and growth.
Jessica’s particular experience of leading Zalando through their rapid transformation to what we now call New Work at the onset of the pandemic in 2020 has given her a front row seat while many were trying to figure out how the world will change.
In this episode you will learn about:

1. How has the world of work changed and what mistakes are you seeing companies making when it comes to hiring and retaining their staff.

2. Is flexibility at work becoming a currency?

3. What can we do to improve long term staff retention?

How confident are you that your business is safe from hackers and scammers? 
Did you know that 46% of small and medium businesses have been targeted by ransomware and 73% of those have paid the ransom? 
This is one of the most serious threats to businesses today.
But given that this podcast is about hiring, why are we all of a sudden talking about hackers, ransomeware and cyber crime?
Well, the security of your systems is only as strong as your weakest link and this, in most cases, is people. It would thus make sense that when hiring and onboarding new team members you would also want to understand their approach to security.
In this episode I am joined by Jan-Henry Ohlert, the CTO of Autobahn Security to discuss exactly that. How do you hire for a security mindset and consciousness across your entire business?
In this episode you will learn about:
How to hire for a security mindsetWhat questions to ask in interviews to test security experience across all roles in your businessWhen to start thinking about security in your business

There are so many questions we face as business leaders when it comes to the future. Even more so as we head into the unknown of 2023.

In this episode some of the questions we tackle are:
How will the sphere of work develop over the coming years? Will an economic downturn propell us back towards 5 day office work or will we continue on a trajectory that will result in a new status quo? Is the 4 day work week a inevitable outcome we are heading towards?Is a status quo even possible when it comes to work or will companies increasingly compete in how they design their work environments? What will the emerging world of work, often also called, new work, look like and how should we as leaders prepare to hire, lead and retain people in it? How will the new generation of employees want to work and what will help them be more productive? To discuss this with me, Konstanty Sliwowski, I am joined by Dr. Tina Ruseva, the founder & CEO of Mentessa, a peer learning platform for the future of work that helps everyone in the workforce to maximise their potential. She is also the founder and driving force behind the Big & Growing New Work Festival, the biggest future of work conference in the DACH region.

As a female founder, festival host, coach, public speaker, author and mom of 2 Tina is an inspiration to many. She particularly loves working with women and young entrepreneurs in the Central and Eastern Europe to promote the use of technology as a means for social progress and innovation. She is an active mentor for women in STEM at the TU Munich as well as Technovation Girls, Techstars, Project Together, and is a regular jury member and speaker at academic entrepreneurship events like the Jacobs Startup Competition.
