    TRANSCRIPT

    Chuck Solomon: Hey, Lindsay. How are you today?

    Lindsey Ault-Authier: Hi, Chuck. I'm doing great. How are you?

    Chuck Solomon: I'm well. Where do I find you today? Where do you live? I'm not even sure.

    Lindsey Ault-Authier: I live in Princeton, New Jersey, and I commute into the city into Manhattan three days a week.

    Chuck Solomon: Gotcha. Tell listeners a little bit about who you work for and, and your specific role.

    Lindsey Ault-Authier: Yeah, absolutely. So I currently head up employer branding and talent attraction for PVH. PVH is a fashion company and you might be more familiar with the brands that they own Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein. Yep. So my focus is helping them to create a really exceptional candidate experience and to overall, you know, really champion them as a great place to work as they are.

    Chuck Solomon: Awesome. Do you get to sample the wares at all or? We do sometimes

    Lindsey Ault-Authier: have sample sales and you do get a a discount on clothes. So that is that is a huge perk. I have quite a few items in my, in my wardrobe from both Tommy and Calvin. So.

    Chuck Solomon: Yeah, I would think that'd be a great perk

    Lindsey Ault-Authier: yeah, well, it is definitely a big attraction, and I find a lot of the people that end up working, you know, at PVH, not that it's a requirement, but a lot of them have quite a, you know, a passion for fashion, so it's kind of a, a nice thing about working there is, you know, a lot of other people who are also excited.

    interested in fashion and, you know again, not a requirement, but it's nice to, it's fun to get the discount and get the clothes and compare shoes. It's, it's, it's nice.

    Chuck Solomon: Sure. So you work in the talent space. I asked this question of, of all my guests about like what led you into working in the talent space?

    TRANSCRIPT

    Chuck Solomon: Hey, Victoria. How are you

    Victoria Myers: today? Hi, Chuck. I'm great. Thank you.

    Chuck Solomon: Can you please tell listeners a little bit about yourself and your company and your role at the company?

    Victoria Myers: Sure, and thank you for the opportunity to share a little bit about my story. I have more than 20 years in recruiting and talent acquisition.

    Way back when, and after 20 years, you don't, you don't count after that. It tells your age. But way back when, I started off in the agency side of recruiting, and I did a split desk of sales and recruiting. And then basically just kind of really felt that I liked the recruiting side of life more. I felt like it was it met an internal need of mine that I wanted to help people.

    And I felt like I was helping people find jobs. So that was very rewarding for me. So I just continued that path and then when I joined Amdocs about four and a half years ago, I joined as the North America talent acquisition manager, and I was leading the strategy and the team specific to filling all the open positions in North America. After about a year and a half, I had the opportunity to then move into a director level role, which is a, the regional lead over Americas.

    And for us, that means now managing the North America team, as well as the Central and Latin America teams. I had managers who reported to me and then they had teams. There was a whole structure to it. Then we really went on, on a quest of this would have been at the end of 2021, early 2022 of thinking through how do we want to grow?

    As a company, how do we want to grow within talent acquisition? So I led a little project team thinking through talent attraction and where are we today and where do we want to be in the future and what are the, what are the pain points and the gaps?

Hot Hot Cold

Loved this episode. So relatable. I think often time this scenario happens and it can be frustrating. I love the idea of “showing love” to all candidates, whether you’re interested in moving forward or not. Good stuff!

RecruiterSally ,

Thanks

Enjoy listening. Wish you had more guests that actually work the trenches of recruiting and HR and slightly less consultant types.

Great tips

As a small HR team, I appreciate the tips as well as the guest interviews.
