Recruiting is moving into a new era. Recruiters have to wear many different hats, manage their company reputation, provide a hospitable candidate experience, and source for roles that didn’t exist a few years ago, all while delivering on aggressive hiring goals.
As a company that specializes in helping other companies find the best candidates, we pride ourselves on "walking the talk" and hiring the best talent in the industry. To that end, I couldn't be more excited to announce the addition of three senior executives to the Entelo team. Gaurav Kataria, Mike Trigg and Yasmin Zarabi will help us fuel Entelo as it reshapes the talent acquisition industry by helping companies to hire better. Please join me in welcoming these three to the team!
Automation was the word on the tip of everyone’s tongue as talent acquisition leaders from the Seattle area gathered at Payscale’s offices just south of CenturyLink field for Recruiting @ Scale: Seattle. With nearby giants like Microsoft and Amazon pioneering new technologies almost daily and hiring the talent to fuel their innovations, Seattle recruiters are well-acquainted with the world of smart technologies.
But recruiting isn’t just about technology, even though it can feel that way sometimes. At its heart, recruiting is still about connecting people with opportunities and persuading them to take the leap to something new and exciting. And the truth is, that will probably never ever be fully automated. The key, then, for those of us in talent acquisition is to figure out how we can strategically leverage technology without losing the very human skills and attributes that make us effective recruiters in the first place.
