SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:
1:30 - Tim recently went and sat on the floor at an MSU game. He said he doesn’t know how to go to a basketball game ever again.
9:45 - Bruce Springsteen recently sold his music catalog for $500 million. Tim asks the group what artist/group they would buy a catalog from. JLee chose Mariah Carey. KD chose Nirvana.
13:00 - Tim mentions that Taylor Swift’s catalog got sold but she is now re-recording all of her catalog to get back at the owners. Tim chose Michael Jackson just over Prince.
15:15 - JLee saw Yao Ming in her office once and was blown away by how big he was and how it impacts every part of his life.
16:30 - Tim mentions an article about how Uber made it’s users okay with waiting. He relates to a candidate experience perspective and asks how HR pros and recruiters could put something in place to make waiting better.
18:00 - KD thinks that hiring managers need to commit to a day that they will make their decision and communicate that date. It's the equivalent of arrival time for Uber!
20:00 - Tim says that ATS status updates are too high-level and unspecific.
24:00 - JLee has the idea to do “hiring manager ratings” just like “driver ratings” that are on rideshare apps. Tim iterates off that and comes up with “number of interviews/hires” just like “number of rides”.
25:15 - In 2021, the US population grew .1%. This is the lowest amount since 1918, when the influenza pandemic and World War 1 were happening. Tim thinks this is a major demographic issue where we aren’t replacing as fast as we are losing people.
27:30 - Tim asks the crew how revamping immigration could help fight against this problem. JLee and Tim discuss making it easier for people to immigrate by focusing on the process.
31:00 - KD mentions how 300,000 visas sounds miniscule for what is actually needed to help with the lack of workers issue in this country.
