Led by blockbusters like This American Life, Serial and WTF with Marc Maron, podcasts have doubled in popularity since 2008. As of 2019, 51% of Americans have listened to a podcast, 22% listening in weekly. In fact, podcasts are so popular that every topic under the sun now has podcasts dedicated to it, including, you guessed it, recruiting.
Director of Global Recruiting at Twitch, Arthur Yamamoto, joined Hiring On All Cylinders to chat with the team about hiring at the world’s leading streaming service for gamers. The team reminisces about why “not a culture fit” is the most frustrating interview feedback a recruiter can get, how reducing bias during interviews is crucial for building strong teams, and Arthur’s first appearance at an Entelo recruiting metrics panel back in the day.
The Hiring On All Cylinders team was joined this week by Ryan Naylor, the CEO of LocalWork, a Phoenix, Arizona-based job board and career consultancy. Localwork offers a recruitment tech platform that helps organizations recruit better with a culture-based approach to talent acquisition and retention. Working with companies in many blue collar industries such as trucking, manufacturing, order fulfillment, and home health care, Localwork pairs organizations with passionate, motivated job candidates by focusing on shared values such as collaboration, growth, accountability, and success.
“We are who we say we are,” says Entelo VP of Ops Jill Witty. This week she joined the Hiring on All Cylinders cast for a discussion of how Entelo practices what it preaches when it comes to company culture, and how the company looks for those qualities in new hires.
