The Hippo Question Podcast’s Post

More companies are moving away from traditional staffing and adopting direct methods to access talent. This trend underscores a shift towards stronger, direct connections with potential hires. 🤝 As discussed with my good friend Mickey Pelletier on The Future of Work Podcast, this change in talent sourcing is reshaping the industry landscape. Technology is decentralizing the market, tearing down the old barriers to make hiring more straightforward and less bureaucratic. The roles of MSPs and VMSs are evolving, not disappearing. They're integrating into this new framework, seeking harmony with direct hiring strategies. Change (often messy) can disrupt old models and lead to more efficient practices. As Mickey noted, it's about adapting and finding the right balance in this new environment. What's your take on this direct-to-talent trend? Is it the future of hiring?

We're calling bu!!sh!t on "Best Practices." Joanna Parsons is, I mean. And maybe you should too. In this clip from Joanna's episode of The WordBirds Podcast, she criticizes the concept of 'best practices' in internal communications, arguing that context is critical and that blindly adopting strategies that worked for other organizations can stifle innovation and growth. What works for one company may be inappropriate for another due to differences in culture, leadership, employees, and business goals. A better approach is to start with your own organization's unique needs and challenges rather than looking externally first. Listen to the whole interview at: https://lnkd.in/ee5u_Kak
