It's a big day! So happy to share a few updates with you. I've been away from the social media / speaker circuit for a bit. Always said I'd be back when I had something that I was excited to talk about. (Didn't wanna be delivering Stacy's Secret Sauce 9.0!) Well, I have something I'm more than a little excited to talk about. Here we go! Tenfold is back! It's been months and months of building and planning, but it's official! And not just that, we're getting the band back together. So lucky to have Mike Bailen joining as my Partner. He's the yin to my yang and the most creative, innovative person I know. Hard to believe it's been 10+ years since we first worked together doing fun Zappos stuff, then several other engagements at Eventbrite, Lever, Handshake, etc. It's all come full circle and we're doing this thing! Our mission? To help teams tackle the funnel noise problem... volume, bots, spam, fraud. Help real talent shine through. (Something very similar to some of our work together back in the day!) We're calling it Candidate Curation. Not filtering, narrowing, screening... curating. Candidate Curation is *continuous* talent attraction, assessment, and authentication through each stage of the funnel. We're gonna help teams build their playbooks and processes and learn how to implement it. (First process, then skills and tools. Right?) And don't worry, there will still be lots of tips and tricks, because that will always be how I roll! Thank you all for your support and stay tuned for more updates. Lots more to share in upcoming days and weeks.

This is memorable little mnemonic device created by Stacy Donovan Zapar Founder of The Talent Agency ★ , from her presentation at RecFest earlier this month. She’s generously shared the presentation on her site - along with other amazing sourcing tips and tricks!! (Direct link to slide deck: https://bit.ly/MadLibGPT) ChatGPT was a HOT topic at #RecFestUSA this year, but Stacy’s mnemonic was my favorite tool for leveraging it. But… what does it stand for?  🤔 𝗥𝗖𝗜𝗙𝗖𝗘 - the cheat code to using ChatGPT like a pro!! 🅡  Role. Tell ChatGPT who you want it to be for the question.

Feeling anxious and uncertain in this roller coaster talent market? You're not alone! It's been a bumpy ride for all of us! Here are some of the tips that have helped me as well as Stacey Gordon, J.T. O'Donnell and Hung Lee. Thank you LinkedIn for the opportunity to share my thoughts! :) #recruiting #talentacquisition #talentmarket

Wow. This is so cringe and so impressive at the same time. Wonder if it would work for sales emails and fake scam recruiters?? Might have to give it a go! The big question now… what kind of recipe should I ask for? 🤔😂

Work with Lars? Um, yes! Where my People Ops friends at? :)
