Marcus Edwardes: The Winning Mindset for Recruiters

Learn how the best recruiters do it! Marcus Edwardes deconstructs the mindset, methods, and magic of top practitioners in the recruiting profession. Marcus talks to internal recruiters, talent acquisition professionals, agency recruiters, personal branding specialists, recruiting technology vendors, and recruiting technology specialists. If you are looking for a job in recruiting or looking to change jobs in recruiting - this is a great place to improve your skills and understanding of what's working for successful recruiters. Informative discussions about candidate experience, personal branding, sourcing for candidates, recruiting and recruitment technology, LinkedIn, and how to use LinkedIn properly. And of course, candidate outreach and the need for personalization to differentiate oneself as a "relationship recruiter" as opposed to a "transactional recruiter".  Work from home/ remote work is also a recurring topic. One of the central themes is the idea that recruiters need to prioritize their candidate's needs before their own needs - it's when you build a solid relationship and become a trusted advisor to candidates, that the magic really starts to happen as a recruiter.

Vanessa Raath: Leveraging AI to Become a Better Recruiter

Joel Lalgee

As a recruiter, relying solely on cold outreach to find and attract talent can be a challenging and time-consuming process. Fortunately, social media has revolutionized the recruitment landscape, providing recruiters a powerful platform to connect with potential candidates, build their brand, and establish relationships with active and passive job seekers. By leveraging the right social media platforms and strategies, recruiters can go beyond traditional cold outreach methods and establish themselves as thought leaders and industry experts in their respective fields, leading to a stronger employer brand and a more efficient and effective recruitment process. In this episode, we are joined by Joel Lalgee, the Realest Recruiter, who teaches recruitment teams how to win on social media, to talk about building successful recruiting brands on social media. Joel shares how he built a successful brand in a few years, tips for growing your recruiting brand on LinkedIn and TikTok, and the non-negotiables for successful recruiters.
