The need for everyone in Talent Acquisition is to expand scope but what skills are needed for us to get there?

Ep313 is sponsored by our friends Greenhouse

Hiring is hard, and getting it right is even harder. It’s a core business-building function with high stakes that takes a lot of moving parts to see real success. You need workflows that accommodate how you function given your company size and goals. You need a user experience that hiring managers actually buy into. And you need an application process that locks talent in.

Only Greenhouse gives you all that in one platform.
