Episode 50: Expanding the Labor Pool with Peter Brooks, formerly at Northrop Grumman
In today’s conversation, host Ryan Dull is joined by Peter Brooks, formerly at Northrop Grumman, but who has become Vice President, Global Talent Acquisition at Protiviti since the date of this recording.
The workforce is undergoing seismic shifts in its makeup and workplace expectations. With a lesser emphasis on formal education and a greater focus on remote work and work/life balance, recruiters are being forced to change their approach so as to reach the right talent.
Peter offers a path forward in this new hiring landscape. Some of his proposed solutions include:
Prioritizing skills over education in the talent search.
Taking advantage of new technologies, including AI, to streamline the search for talent.
Focusing on developing the careers of internal team members rather than filling open positions with new hires.
Encouraging recruiters to take a more active role in organizational operations.
Approaching talent acquisitions from this new angle can widen the talent pool. This allows recruiters to reach the right candidates while also bringing them a value-added proposition that encourages longevity. Peter describes how this holistic method brings together the needs of businesses and candidates in mutually beneficial relationships.
