Calculated Hire’s Post

Can you believe we're about to wrap up another year? 😮 Time truly flies! As I take a quick break, I can't help but think about my journey in recruitment this year. Starting SPG Talent Group in January, I cannot believe I am ending the year having serviced many clients and finding ALL of them amazing candidates for their teams. But let's reflect on the bigger picture of recruiting..... 🔍 So, Why Does This Last Week Matter in Recruiting? Taking Stock of Wins: 🏆 Remember that awesome hire we made back in March? Or that new strategy that surprisingly worked wonders? Now's the perfect time to celebrate those wins and learn from the not-so-perfect moments. Plotting Our Next Moves: 📊 With a bit of quiet time this week, I'm diving into our recruitment game plan for the upcoming year. Got any cool tools or strategies you've stumbled upon? Let's chat! Spotting New Talent Waves: 🌐 I've noticed that this time of the year tends to spark interest from folks looking for new opportunities. If you come across someone special, let's connect! Strengthening Bonds: 🤝 More than just business, this week's also about reaching out, catching up, and saying thanks. If we've worked together this year, know that I truly appreciate our collaboration. So, as we gear up to say goodbye to 2023, let's keep in mind that recruiting is all about connecting dots - dreams, goals, and opportunities. Cheers to a chilled-out, introspective week ahead, and here's to whatever exciting adventures 2024 has in store for us! 🚀 #RecruitmentChat #YearEndVibes #LetsConnect

"OMG it's a video with a dragon in it. Wow, that company must be so cool!" Oh wow, thank you so much! That's so kind (and accurate) of you to say... 🐉💜🗡🕯⛓🔮🗝 Ok, but for real, lol, I really do like this ad I made.  It gets to the point about what it is we at Talent Masters do, and highlights that we do it differently to most. We get clients hard-to-find candidates of rare, peak quality (as rare as purple dragons!), and we do it with a verve for DEIB, as well as a bit of humour and fun... because we want to be easy and pleasant to work with, obviously! #PurpleDragons #Recruitment #ExecutiveSearch #QualityOverQuantity #FairRecruitment

I practice reflecting and measuring the ROI after attending events and encourage all leaders to do the same. Today, I was privileged to participate alongside global talent leaders on Day 1 of the Talent Connect Show. This event prompted deep contemplation about the future of work in the age of AI. Thank you, LinkedIn, for offering this exceptional platform for learning, networking, and mutual inspiration. In our ever-competitive job market, where talents are everywhere but opportunities are not, here's a message for jobseekers: When you decide to join an organization, you're not merely taking on a job or project but embarking on a meaningful journey. It's essential to ask yourself: -Can I envision my career development within this organization? -How does the organization handle onboarding for new hires? -Leveraging the power of word-of-mouth, consider reaching out to recent hires or those with 1–2 years of experience to gain authentic insights into their journey and how the organization fosters continuous career development. Today's summit featured inspiring speakers, including Maud Alvarez-Pereyre, CPO from LVMH Group; Donna Morris, the EVP, and CPO from Walmart; Stacey A. Gordon, MBA, an Executive Speaker and DEI Strategist at Rework Work. In the presence of over 1500 talented leaders, both in New York and virtual, collectively representing an impressive $8 billion in revenue across various industries, I firmly believe that we should strive to give more, foster greater humanity and transparency, and express gratitude for the meaningful work we do. After all, we are the architects of lives and the shapers of future generations. I can't wait for Day 2 of the show! #TalentConnect #PeopleExperience #LinkedInevents #careergrowth #careerdevelopment #GlobalTalentAcquisition #futurework #jobseekers #candidates #startuptalentacquisition #LinkedIn #workculture #layoffs2023 #empowerment #DEI #learninganddevelopment #techlayoffs #startuptalents #leadership #teambuilding #organizationalleadership #talents #skills #wlb #opportunities #GenZ #empathy #diversityandinclusion

Global Partnership News: Hireguide x RecFest UK + RecFest USA I've been bottling this for a while so it gives me so much joy to circulate the announcement with you all, finally... Let's dive into who they are: Hireguide is a end-to-end interview management system that makes hiring decisions faster, fairer and twice as predictive of performance. The Challenge: Talent teams know that skills-based, structured interviewing yields better results, but current solutions lack the specialised capabilities for consistency at scale. This leads to a costly, labour-intensive process and higher attrition, with critical data often going uncaptured. The Solution: By uniting AI and hiring science to make it easy for interviewers to adopt best practices at every step. The Mission: Founded by 10+ Sr. LinkedIn alumni and I/O psychology PhDs. As a Certified B Corp they're on a mission to make 1 billion annual interviews clearer and less biased by making structured interviewing easy to use. --- It's been an absolute pleasure getting to know Steve Lewis & Tiffany Heimpel. Their social impact initiatives to help talent teams #HireKind is nothing short of remarkable. I'm incredibly excited for what the future holds in collaboration as we stand together to elevate the future of Talent Acquisition through skills based hiring via gen AI. #skillsbasedhiring #recfestuk #recfestusa #skillsbasedhiring
