Motion Recruitment’s Post

So what makes a founder different.......... To start, they think, “what do I need to do to make this work” versus the “This won't work” or “It's not possible for X,Y,Z” Yes, they are all crazy, in their own way. You have to be. You have believe you’ll succeed when most businesses fail. You have to be willing to dedicate 8 years of your life to an idea. So practically what does this look like… Well, Kathleen Webber and I went to the Fintech meetup on Thursday night. Friday 8am - Kathleen decides HR Tech needs one too, as we already meet with other amazing founders on a one of one basis 9am – Kathleen works out an HR Tech Meetup doesn’t exist and calls me – "we are doing this" - (honestly she did this) 10am - calls are out to other founders, they are keen 11am - venue is sorted for the first HR Tech meetup in October after the school holidays (Comment below if you want to join the waiting list) 12pm - possible sponsors are identified 2pm - check with NZTech just to make sure no one else is doing this 3 pm – Notion site is up and the eco system is being mapped with the help of some of the HR Tech founders 4 pm - I'm entering website names into the ecosystem list Saturday  10 am – while watching her kids at the playground, Kat buys the domain for the new NZ HRTech Map  12 pm spends the rest of the day updating the NZ HR Tech map Sunday Kathleen spends the rest of the day updating the NZ HR Tech map. Monday  6 am Kathleen emails me with domain issues to sort out 830 am Kathleen launches the www.hrtech.org.nz group and ecosystem map. Later this week… Registration for the HRTech’s inaugural meetup will be live! Sometimes it’s fun to just be along for the ride. Very proud of you Kat! And if you are in HR, are an HR Tech vendor or just want to know what HR products are available in NZ, take a look at the NZ HRTech Map. Link in comments! Later this week I’ll post on what makes a co-founder relationship work, at least for us. #HRtech #HRTECHNZ #entrepreneurship

Here are a few unique talent acquisition strategies tech companies can use to attract top talent: One unique talent acquisition strategy that tech companies can incorporate to attract top talent is to establish a dedicated innovation lab or incubator program. Here's how it could work Innovation Lab: Create a dedicated space within the company premises or virtually where employees are encouraged to work on innovative projects outside of their regular duties. This lab can be equipped with resources such as cutting-edge technology, mentorship, and funding to support experimentation and creativity. Incubator Program: Launch an incubator program where external innovators, startups, and entrepreneurs are invited to collaborate with the company. Provide access to resources, expertise, and potential funding to help these external teams develop their ideas and solutions. Open Innovation Challenges: Host open innovation challenges where individuals or teams from both within and outside the company can submit proposals for solving specific problems or addressing industry challenges. Offer rewards, recognition, and opportunities for collaboration to the winning participants. Hackathons and Tech Competitions: Continue leveraging hackathons and tech competitions as mentioned in the report, but with a twist. Instead of focusing solely on recruitment, position these events as opportunities for collaboration, innovation, and community building. Encourage participants to work on real-world problems faced by the company or its clients. Cross-Industry Collaborations: Foster collaborations with organizations from different industries to bring diverse perspectives and expertise into the talent pool. Joint projects, co-branded initiatives, and knowledge-sharing partnerships can attract talent who are interested in working at the intersection of multiple domains. Continuous Learning Initiatives: Invest in continuous learning initiatives such as workshops, seminars, and online courses that allow employees to enhance their skills and stay updated with the latest technologies and trends. Highlight the company's commitment to employee development and lifelong learning. By adopting these strategies, tech companies can not only attract top talent but also foster a culture of innovation, collaboration, and continuous learning within the organization. #TechWrapIndia #LinkedInNewsIndia

Ten years ago I cofounded PeopleTech Partners because I was frustrated with the technology tools available to Human Capital leaders.  How could we do a good job if our toolkit was so inferior to all of our counterparts in other departments?  We couldn't. Fast forward to a world where PeopleTech Partners has a 350+ strong advisor network (our max) and has helped successfully bring to market more than 115 companies changing the world of work.  We've supported founders, advised GTM strategy and helped create multiple startups valued at more than a billion dollars.  People spend most of their days at work.  Companies spend most of their money on talent.  It's magic when you bring an insightful customer and an empathetic founder together focused on the future of work:  the world changes.  Lattice is one of our PeopleTech companies.  It's a great use case for what a visionary founder, committed team and awesome product can do in partnership with a universe of Human Capital executives enabling their success. What's next?  I want to share some of this with a broader group of People leaders.  It shouldn't just be venture capital firms that benefit from the efforts of People leaders as buyers who are shaping the future of how our employees experience their work.  That is why we created PeopleTech Invest syndicate.  Join me and the rest of our community in taking this next step into building a better work experience.

Today is my birthday (32 but mentally always 27) and we're about to wrap up the year so I've sat down and reflected on the year that was 2023 - its been a big one!! At the beginning of the year, I was employed as a recruiter for another business. My brain had started ticking and I started to think about the huge potential recruitment companies have in terms of adding further value to their clients. I had also started listening to the Confessions of a Recruiter podcast. So after a few twists and turns, come July, I started my journey to bring some of my ideas to life. Since then, my journey has been, well a journey!!! I have: - Set up Kairos Recruitment, focusing on Start-Up, Scale-Up & impact driven businesses. Defined and built some amazing points of differences in our services (ask me about them) - Started Australia's Tech Start-Up Ecosystem, with the vision which is still very much in the process of being built, to create an online Ecosystem for founders to collaborate, share ideas, and grow faster and better together - Run the first Melbourne's Tech Start-Up Ecosystem: thank you Annette Rose, Phil Ore, and Graham McCorkill for being our first speakers. Also to Rick Giner & EverestEngineering for supporting and sponsoring the event. And our support crew Asmita Govind & Trevor Brunton! - Off the back of being utterly inpsired by this ecosystem, I turned what was a small side business idea called The Resume Renovator, into Mployd, a start-up with the vision of being the go-to platform in APAC for Job Seeker Support - So then I joined FounderLab, an accountability cohort of sorts for Tech Start Up founders, run by Ryan Griffin & Joe Young and alongside • Charlie Crozier • Roselle de Kruijk Mantas Aleks ✊ 🇺🇦 Josh Sprague and Johnny Wen and got my first pitch rep in - Also got accepted into an Start-Up Accelerator for 2024 - Been a guest on a Podcast, thank you Edan Haddock 🐟 and Rubberband. The recruitment network for all for providing a platform for our community - Started posted mostly every day on LinkedIn and saw my community grow as a result! - Learnt how to build websites, register a business, figure out how to do my own accounting, create my own GPTs, DIYed and then paid someone to do my branding, starting dabbling with growing in public, and learnt many lessons along the way on various aspects of business - I also must've registered for 10,000 free resources and webinars - I've also met some bloody cool people that are doing their own thing and I imagine will be big parts of my life moving forward as we all go on our own journies: Asmita Govind Matt Woodard Alyna Pham Laura Morellon Rebecca Roberts Lyndal Hamwood Natalia Tapia 🌈 + everyone I've already mentioned, and honestly there are quite a few more that are going to be stuck with me! If that was 2023, bring on 2024!! I've got so much more to learn and so much more to nail down but can't wait for whats to come! ❤️
