Episode 62: Developing Current and Future Talent with Nick Mailey at Equinix
Nick Mailey, Vice President of Talent Acquisition at Equinix, has a long history of tech industry recruiting, but he began that path after a short political career pursuing social justice. That early political experience gave him a values-driven approach to recruiting that he lives by to this day.
Chief among Nick’s talent acquisition values is a willingness to invest in his people. He encourages his fellow leaders to lean into this concept, his advice is to:
- Provide opportunities for development after a candidate joins your organization.
- Encourage organizational leaders to be part of an ongoing development structure both for themselves and their teams.
- Seek out candidates that are in career transitions and provide the skills training they need to effectively change roles.
- Veterans, refugees and immigrants are often avid job-seekers who can be effective team members given the right onboarding and training.
Current hires lay the groundwork for future organizational leaders. Investing in those hires ensures that your company builds a pathway toward continued growth and success.
