Hi - we’ve got a double feature of Hirewell content for you this week. Dan and Louie discuss the NFL playoffs and the recent coaching changes. 

Plus, Liz and Shania return for Part 3 of their guide of prepping for interviews. 

Check them out!

The Hirewell Hot Corner, Ep 33 "Stability: NFL/NCAA Coaching and for Candidates"

In this week’s episode Dan and Louie start the show chatting about the NFL Playoffs and the excitement from the Wild Card weekend. From there, they talk about the passing of the guard as we see Bill Belichek (Patriots), Nick Saban (Alabama) and Pete Caroll (Seahawks) all step away from their long-tenured coaching positions with their respective teams.

The guys segue this into recruiting by discussing how valuable stability is in a job and industry. The tech market, having its up-and-down roller coaster-like patterns, allow for industries like manufacturing and industrial to seem more appealing because they are more stable. We urge candidates to seek roles where stability is a top priority and how to assess a company’s stability in the interview process. Dan and Louie give their picks for the upcoming playoff game so stay tuned to the end for the Two Minute Drill.

Recruiting Reality, Ep 23 “How to Prep for an Interview Part 3”

In the final segment of the ‘How to Prep for an Interview’ series, Liz and Shania delve into the effective method of aligning your experience with the job description and articulating it clearly. Throughout this series, they’ve paralleled recruiting tips with origin story movies. In this episode, they compare the X-Men Origin story movies to illustrate this tip. Be sure to tune in!

The 10 Minute Talent Rant, Episode 81 "Remember Employer Brand? It's Dead."

The tech layoffs aren’t over. Marketing budgets haven’t recovered. DEI programs are slashed.

Might explain why we don’t hear anyone talk about employer brand anymore. It’s probably for the better: workers are skeptical. A lot of people got burned in the last 18 months and no one believes the old corporate jargon when they’re looking for their next role.

Hiring isn’t dead, but the talent attraction playbook needs a reboot. Jeff Smith and James Hornick discuss what resonates with job seekers and what falls flat in episode 81 of The 10 Minute Talent Rant, "Remember Employer Brand? It's Dead."
