“The platform was up and running literally weeks after the pandemic hit. And through this platform they saved 2,000 jobs, so it’s also about saving jobs by redeploying people effectively when the times are needed.”

We’re Only Human — Episode 111

 

In some brand new research, we found that internal hiring and talent mobility is a key priority for employers in the coming year, and they measure success through increased diversity, lower cost to hire, and better performance and retention. These factors all feed into today’s conversation.

 

In this interview with Jerome Ternynck, Founder and CEO of SmartRecruiters (and one of the  most passionate people about hiring on the planet), we dive into what virtual recruiting looked like in 2020, how employers are adopting internal talent marketplaces to support internal hiring and employee mobility, and what it takes to lead the business as a talent acquisition leader. We also look at SmartRecruiters’ intense commitment to equitable hiring and share the playbook SmartRecruiters uses to support these practices internally.
