MY BLOG!

I love having somewhere to be super opinionated (and helpful!) about all things recruitment and talent acquisition. 😆

Here on the blog you’ll find the Recruitment Isn’t Broken newsletter, show recordings of Hear The Talent People with Glenn Martin, interviews in the series Let’s Talk Human-First HR Tech, summaries from The Hiring Partner Perspective podcast, podcast interviews I’ve been invited onto, and reruns of The #SocialRecruiting Show with Audra Night & Glenn Martin.
