What’s the secret to hiring in today’s toughest talent markets? 🦄 In the latest episode of Hiring on All Cylinders, Talentful CEO Chris Abbass speaks with Christine Ng, Head of People at Quantum Motion, about the unique challenges of sourcing and hiring talent in deep tech fields like quantum computing. This isn’t your typical talent market. You’re not hiring developers who can build a portfolio website after a three-month bootcamp. In deep tech, the stakes are higher, the talent pool is smaller, and authenticity is the key to success. We explore: 🔹 How to craft targeted sourcing strategies for niche and technical roles. 🔹 Competing with Big Tech: why top candidates choose startups instead. 🔹 The power of authenticity in recruiting—real engineer-to-engineer stories that resonate. 🔹 Unexpected skill transfers and how creativity in hiring can unlock hidden talent. Christine brings deep expertise and actionable insights for anyone hiring in highly specialized, competitive markets.

Hiring for passion over skills can transform your organization. Passionate employees bring dedication, innovation, and a commitment that goes beyond learned skills. Investing in people who are genuinely passionate about their work leads to a motivated and creative team, driving long-term success. In Episode 12, Chandler Malone shares his insights on what he seeks in a potential candidate during the hiring process at Path: “I got a lot of thoughts on hiring. I care less about how much experience you have and more about how much you care about the thing being built… I want people who care about the problem and the people we’re serving.” Watch the full episode as Jordyn and Tiffiny dive into the details of what Chandler is looking for in members of the Path team. 🤖Path: https://yourpath.ai/en 📺 YouTube: https://lnkd.in/e5aWY9ZY 🎧 Spotify: https://buff.ly/3Vg3FN1 🌐 Stats on Stats: https://buff.ly/4dx380f 👾 Join Our “Stats on Stats” Discord Server: https://lnkd.in/eyYaJvwZ #Hiring #AI #CareerPath #Education #FutureofWork #Innovation #SkillsTraining #StartupLife #TechInnovation #Technology #WorkforceDevelopment #HR

Jason Fried recently said something on a podcast that caught my attention. He said: "Great companies don't just have products but a strong point of view." That got me thinking more deeply about why we're building what we're building at Spark2. Here is our point of view: "Recruiting is at the heart of every great company and is a critical aspect to get right for anybody looking to be successful. But the current processes don't scale. Recruiters are increasingly overloaded with volume or additional steps throughout the hiring process while facing more and more challenging timelines. At Spark2, we believe that the current state of recruiting needs an overhaul. Generative AI enables the acceleration or automation of many steps in the recruiting process. Not to replace recruiters, but to scale them and again allow them to focus more intensely on their core value add: genuine human connection." #Recruiting #TalentAquisition #AIrecruiter #Sourcing

A few weeks ago, I had the privilege of chatting with the amazing Daniel Harten at hireEZ. We discussed ways to transform talent acquisition with automation and inclusivity, among many other topics! I’d love to invite you to give it a listen (🔗 in comments). This is hands-down one of my favorite podcasts in which I’ve had the opportunity to participate. 🌟 Daniel masterfully connected various subjects I’m passionate about, and his thoughtful approach made it a really positive experience. We kicked off the conversation by discussing my journey in the talent/brand space, leading to my current role at Zapier. I highlighted how our talent acquisition team leverages AI (shoutout to the team at BrightHire!), our #remote culture, and our people-first approach to hiring. A significant passion of mine is helping others, and Daniel provided me the opportunity to share what it means for me to support other women and people from underrepresented backgrounds in their careers and beyond. 🧡 I appreciate that I also had the space to share some of the challenges I’ve faced throughout my career and offer advice to those who might be encountering similar obstacles. I hope you’ll check it out, and if you do, I’d love to hear what resonates with you! 🙌 #CareerJourney #Connections #Culture
