Episode 47: Valuing Human Capital with Derek Guide at Fragomen
On this episode, host Ryan Dull is joined by Derek Guide, Talent Acquisition Director at Fragomen, to explore some ways in which talent acquisition leaders can embrace the human element of the recruiting industry.
As Derek highlights in this conversation, it’s important for recruiters to remember several important tenets of talent acquisitions:
Face-to-face interaction will often provide greater returns than digital communication.
Automate as many tasks as you can to free up your team to do the work that only a human can do.
A candidate experience is more than a data point. Understanding the desires and motivations of candidates will lead to more successful recruiting.
Talent acquisition is a very human industry. Embrace that part of the work and lean into its relational quality.
Mentorship is an unspoken, but fundamental, part of any HR manager’s job.
Following up with former team members is a great way to develop broader industry knowledge and learn better hiring practices.
In an increasingly digital age and an ever-more automated workflow, Derek’s emphasis on human interaction is an important reminder of the unique value proposition talent leaders bring to their organizations.
