Chuck Solomon
Hey Kaitlyn, how are you today?
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.

I'm doing well. Dee, how did you get into this whole talent, attraction space.
Dee Commodore 0:12
It was 2008, I attended a job fair. And Tish Moore from Greene Resources at this time had interviewed me and hired me on the spot as a recruitment coordinator. And after working there at Greene Resources on assignment, I had seen the impact that, you know, all the recruiters had on peoples lives, it basically piqued my interest, and then, therefore, became my career path after working as I was, as I've been for.
Chuck Solomon 0:45
Excellent, thanks for sharing that. Yeah, I tried to ask that same question to everyone. And I think everyone's path into this career is, is unique and different. So and I think I have yet to hear someone say, Oh, I I planned on it from doesn't It doesn't sound like you planned on it, right?
Dee Commodore 1:10
No, I know, I definitely didn't. However, it did. Pull from my background. Because, again, to me, recruitment is about relationship building, customer service, and, you know, being from the islands, you know, that's something that is important, because tourism is the main part of my community. So I wanted to go originally go into hospitality manage to meet the same thing. But it's just the flip side of it.

I'm well, thanks so much. Can you let listeners know a little bit about the company work for and your role there?
Emily Kaija
Oh, I'd be happy to. So I work for XWP as a candidate experience specialist. And my focus is to deliver exceptional experiences for everyone who participates in the hiring process at x WP web agency and we deliver enterprise level solutions with WordPress technology. A lot of our clients are publishing entities like magazines, newspapers, who need a really strong and versatile content management system. So we worked with Rolling Stone magazine, News Corp, Australia, a Variety magazine, a lot of companies like that WordPress is an open source software, which means that anybody can use it, modify it, make it better. And it powers about 40% of the websites on the intranet. So actually, a lot of people probably see WordPress sites every day and may not even realize it. But right. We work with digital partners as well like Google and Pantheon and automatic to develop new technologies and plugins to share with the WordPress community.

Rosie Martinson 0:51
It's a really great question. Because as as you know, I'm sure being in this world, some people are in HR, and some are marketing. And some as recruiters, there's lots of different ways to get into this space. And so, I actually am a marketer at heart, I've been in marketing for over 15 years, I have a public relations advertising degree. And about seven or eight years ago, as I was working in healthcare marketing, I was looking for something new, and I wanted to grow my career and work for a larger company. And so, I came across a demand generation manager role. And, you know, if if, you know, marketing demand generation is a marketing term, and it's a marketer that is generating demand, or a company's product or service, right, that you are marketing to your audience.

Omer Molad 0:02
Hey, Chuck I'm great, how's it going?
Chuck Solomon 0:05
It's going very well. Thanks for being a guest on the podcast today.
Omer Molad 0:10
Thanks for having me.
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?

And so what I did was I put a bug in my supervisors ear, that's really that's really a like route I feel like I would be good at and I would love to take, and it just so happened that are all around HR accounting person left, and I was able to take on some duties. And the first thing I did was a sexual harassment training, the interaction that I had with the group, it really put a fire in me. And I said to myself, this is what I'm going to do.

Bonus: Millennials & Gen Z in the workplace
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 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!
