    155: Trending Topics - Knowing WHY You're Winning is How You Keep Winning ft. Lex Winship

    In this Trending Topics episode, Sam and Lex talk DATA. But before you make any assumptions about how much of a bore this episode must be, listen to this:  According to a recent survey, 72% of recruiters don't know their conversion ratios.  Which means that 2/3 of recruiters are missing out on critical data insights that could help them be more effective. In this conversation, we spend time talking about the fact that even when things are working, it's good to understand why they're working — so you can double-down on winning behaviors and keep improving with every day. We'll get into why performance metrics are more powerful than volume metrics, the role technology plays in recruitment data, and the importance of data integrity. And we promise that, even with all that data-talk, it's not boring.  Chapters: 00:00 - Podcast intro: Why recruitment data matters more than ever 04:02 - Recruiter.com insights: The future of talent acquisition in 2025 05:40 - The inefficiency of recruiter analytics and how to improve them 13:05 - How recruiters measure performance: Metrics that matter 21:56 - High costs and low returns: The challenge of outdated recruitment tech 28:22 - Expert advice for improving recruitment strategies with data 32:36 - Podcast farewell: Using data insights to drive recruitment growth Explore all our episodes and catch the full video experience at loxo.co/podcast Becoming a Hiring Machine is brought to you by Loxo.

    153: If Your Tech Doesn't Support Your Workflow, It Can't Help You ft. Sam as a Guest on Ringover's Podcast

    In this guest episode, Sam joins the crew at Ringover on their The Staffing Ring podcast to talk about everything from: why some tech tools get used daily (while others are left to wither away in tech purgatory), to honing in on your Ideal Customer Profile, to how play the long-game when it comes to building trust and brand awareness, and beyond. Of course there are some subtle plugs for Loxo in there — but the point of this episode is really to highlight how vital workflow integration is to user adoption. Adding more tech to your stack is always going to come at a cost — and if you're not getting the most possible use out of that investment, across your entire team, it starts to raise some bigger questions.  Tune into this episode if you're thinking about switching technology providers, contemplating adding more tech to your stack, or looking for ways to build a trusted brand. We cover a lot of bases, and it's a good time!
