    Brainfood Live On Air - Ep262 - Skill Based Hiring - A Conversation with Johnny Campbell, CEO of Social Talent
    Jun 28 2024
    SKILL BASED HIRING: A CONVERSATION WITH JOHNNY CAMPBELL One of the first people to really break down to task and activity level was Johnny Campbell. As CEO of market leading hiring training company SocialTalent, his taxonomy of the skills required by a recruiter to perform in their work remains a canonical artefact in the world of talent acquisition to this day. This is why I was excited to get a DM from Johnny on the topic of Skill Based Hiring - in particular, why we might have cause to pause in our charge to implement a concept which requires greater understanding, definition and modelling before put into the workplace. We are shifting gears in today's Brainfood Live - instead of a panel, we are going to critically but fairly examine Skill Based Hiring in a 1-2-1 conversation. Expect the following topics to be covered: - How to define skills that need to hired? - How to identify those skills pre-assessment - How to effectively and fairly assess for those skills, in a scalable way - What is the expected outcome of SBH hiring done well? Do we have any examples of this? - Is downgrading credentialism risking the downgrading of valuable experience? - Do we expect greater workforce diversity with Skill Based Hiring? What we do not get this result? - Where does Skills Based Hiring need to get to before it becomes viable? Ep262 is sponsored by our buddies Social Talent SocialTalent is the world’s leading e-learning platform dedicated to hiring and talent management. Hire top talent. Lead Hybrid Teams.

  • Brainfood Live On Air - Ep259 - Expanding Scope from Talent Acquisition to Talent Everything

    Brainfood Live On Air - Ep259 - Expanding Scope from Talent Acquisition to Talent Everything
    May 31 2024
    EXPANDING SCOPE: FROM TALENT ACQUISITION TO TALENT EVERYTHING Talent Acquisition has spent the past two decades attempting to create an identity distinct from HR....was this mistake, and do we now need to discreetly reverse course?? Apologies for the provocation but I suspect this is more or less what we NEED to be doing, especially as the employers everywhere demand more from people teams, forcing us all to expand scope to take on work that was previously someone else's theatre. Additionally, our understanding of the human journey through a company tells us that we need break functional siloes which emerged in a different era of business. What is it like to expand scope beyond TA? Should more of us do it? Let's speak to TA professionals who have already. - How did this journey start? - Was it a strategic decision to expand scope from just TA? - What new functions are most interesting for you? - Which ones are most difficult for a person coming from a TA perspective? - What have you learned ABOUT TA since you expanded scope BEYOND TA? - What skills should professionals develop in order to best position for future expansive roles like this? - What next, what else do you personally need to learn about your current career path? - How do you envisage the future of TA / Talent Everything? All this and more on Brainfood Live On Air, We're with Manjuri Sinha, VP of Talent Success, OLX Group, Yasar Ahmad, VP of People (HelloFresh), Christine Ng, Head of Talent & Communication (Quantum Motion) and on Friday 31st May, 2pm BST / 9am ET Follow the channel here (recommended) and click on the green button to register for this show.
