Today, we chat with VP of Talent Acquisition for Global Business Solutions at Fiserv, Bryan Schreiber. Bryan walks us through how recruitment has changed over the years, whilst still remaining true to a single core philosophy: Building relationships. We get to understand that the more honest a company is and the more they work on building that initial relationship with a potential employee, the more likely they are to find the right candidates and indeed keep them.
Key Points From This Episode:
- Engagement and company culture is what will keep retention numbers up.
- Many companies are attractive so job seekers are looking at many places at the same time; a big problem for recruiters.
- It’s important to make prospective employees aware of your company’s ethos.
- Successful recruitment can happen in any industry, as long as you know how to engage.
- In executive recruiting, people generally know exactly what they want.
- As a recruiter, you should know what you’re selling, and keep selling it.
- It’s all about relationship
- Recruiters and hiring managers should have a great relationship with one another.
- Behavioral stacks are great indicators for recruiters.
- It’s not a bad idea to stay at one company for a while and build those relationships.
