Episode 54: Keeping a Competitive Edge with Shameka Dukes at Sysco
On today’s episode, host Ryan Dull welcomes Shameka Dukes, Director of Corporate Talent Acquisition at Sysco, to learn about some of the ways that talent leaders can maintain success in an increasingly competitive talent market.
In a post-Covid world, Shameka offers some points for consideration for talent leaders navigating a new work environment:
Recruiters now have more competitors due to the rise of remote work. Competition is no longer limited by geographic proximity.
Companies are no longer as interested in specific backgrounds or qualifications. Future professional development is a part of recruitment practices.
Increased hiring specialization can take some burden off different departments within an organization.
Flexibility and adaptability are more desirable traits than a specific skill set.
HR departments must be prepared to respond quickly to increased loads on specific organizational operations.
Teams can get ahead of workload surges by being proactive in their operations rather than reactive.
Hiring managers need an abundance of information on company direction and values in order to perform effectively.
Shameka’s advice can help talent leaders stay on the leading edge of a market exploding in competitive activity.
