HRchat Podcast
Rehiring at Scale with Brian Sommer
In this HRchat we look at the tech available to help businesses rehire at scale. Listen too as we discuss the moral and ethical implications of using tech to ensure candidates fit with the employer brand.
Bill's guest this time is Brian Sommer. For nearly four decades, Brian has been an award-winning writer, technology industry analyst and consultant to some of the largest firms in the world. He is considered one of the most respected business technologists in the industry, Brian’s counsel is especially sought after by top executives of Global 2000 firms.
Questions include:
* After the recession of 2008-09, employers were unprepared for the sheer volume of applicants that were seeking new employment. This time around they have had time to prepare - including instilling tech and processes to make hiring more equitable. What's different between the tsunami of applicants back then and what's happening now?
* How are AI and machine learning-based applications helping to process more video interviews, rank candidates in fairer ways than an ATS and look for people with new kinds of values?
* There's lots of talk about skills-based hiring over and above hiring based on past performance. In a world flipped upside down; one where many people want to pivot and take their skills into new industries, how can tech help ensure that those people lacking experience can get a fair shot?
* Which firms have done a good job at preparing their HR teams for the rigors of hiring and retaining talent?
* Regardless of if it will happen, should tech vendors continue on a journey to pry into the personal lives and views of employees? With all the talk about ensuring better affinity between the employer brand and the employee and being one's authentic self, is the 'spying tech' justified or should it be avoided?
