Kaitlyn Tarpey Borea Hi, Chuck, I'm so great. How are you? Chuck Solomon I'm doing well, Happy Friday to you. I appreciate you taking the time to have a conversation with me and share your insights and knowledge with my listeners. But before we get started, can you let listeners know a little bit about yourself? Kaitlyn Tarpey Borea Sure. Well, thanks for having me first. My name is Kaitlyn, I run the talent function at TOMO, which is a fin tech startup. It's about two and a half years old. But prior to working in the startup world, I had a really fun career in fashion and in finance before that. So I've been on the HR recruitment side and many different industries, but have always found myself within the recruitment space. That's where my heart is. Chuck Solomon Gotcha. I totally understand.  How did you know how did you get into this? Talent? People attraction space? Kaitlyn Tarpey Borea It's such a good question, because I feel that so many people say they fall into it. For me, I was I am the daughter of an accountant and a math teacher. And so I knew from a very early age that I did not want to work with numbers. I wanted to work with people. And so I knew at least that much going through undergrad. And really, when I think about what recruitment is, it's matchmaking but it's also being an ambassador for a company for a brand for an organization that, that you're passionate about. And I've had some good practice, in situations like that I grew up in the pageant circuit. And you know, it's very natural to me to connect people, and to guide people to into whatever it is that their heart's calling them for. So there's a little bit of I knew I wanted to do with people versus numbers. And then just sort of a circumstance where I fell into an assignment, I ended up being successful in that assignment. And then my career really took off after that. Read full transcript https://docs.google.com/document/d/1NnN37SS2Yug0BqRqDYOsKWho78TtcRcMUYS1GCvRguA/edit?usp=sharing

Chuck Solomon  0:12 Appreciate it. So before we get into talking about candidate experience, can you give like a, you know, quick overview of sort of how how'd you get into the hiring industry? Omer Molad  0:24 Sure. So this startup that I'm a co founder of Vervoe is really my first kind of official foray into the hiring industry. Prior to that, I, my only experience in hiring was being hired or trying to get hired and, and hiring people as a hiring manager, which, which I did a lot of, in a past life, but I was not a recruitment practitioner in any in any form before starting this company. Chuck Solomon  1:02 Sure What, you know, you talk to a lot of companies out there, and I'm, like, you've seen a lot of, sort of can't good candidate experience bad candidate experience? Like, what are you seeing, like, where companies are getting candidate experience? Where they're doing it well? Omer Molad  1:22 Unfortunately, it's the minority of companies that, that do it? Well, in my opinion, and, sure, yeah, and if I had to really sort of boil it down to something really simple. A good candidate experience is an experience that sets a candidate up for success and, and gives them an opportunity to, to put their best foot forward. And a bad candidate experience is one that creates obstacles for the candidate, and makes it difficult for them to put their best foot forward. And all the rest is really just detail. Right?

 Welcome to this bonus episode in which I’ll share some recent research on Millennials and Gen Z in the workplace.  This week I am talking with several great guests and just haven’t decided yet who I’ll air on Friday. I’ll make a decision by Thursday and post a Trailer then. According to InsideOut Development, more than 75% of Gen Z employees believe they should be promoted in their first year on the job, these findings from a recent survey of 1,000 individuals ages 18 to 23. These findings are something for HR and Hiring Managers to think about so they can best manage the expectations of this newest generation to join their workforces. Here's the link to the WSJ article for you to read more https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-office-rookies-who-ask-for-the-world-11554730098? Would love to get your reactions. Thanks for listening!

Thanks to Alicia Parr for sharing her wisdom on this episode of The Candidate Experience Podcast where we discuss the good, bad, and ugly of the candidate journey.  Alicia is the Principal of Performentor,  a management consultancy where they use people science to help you grow your business fast with fewer speed bumps. She paraphrased the quote attributed to the French philosopher, Voltaire "Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good". We couldn't agree more, incremental improvements to the candidate experience are all good.  Here's the quote I read to start off this podcast from Peter Cappelli ... Companies often say people are their most important asset. But, for many, you’d never know it by the way they actually go about hiring those people. Also, here's the link to the full article The Mistakes Firms Make With Hiring. Sorry it's behind the WSJ's paywall. Thanks for listening and please subscribe!
