Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How to tell if a screening tool actually works | With Dr Charlie Eyre
Q: What is the role of a technical manual in evaluating a tool?
A technical manual should lay out the theoretical basis, trial process, data on reliability, validity, and fairness, and provide enough detail for an evaluator to assess defensibility and regulatory readiness.
How to tell if a screening tool actually works | With Dr Charlie Eyre
Q: How should organizations approach evidence for a new tool?
They should seek robust research, including predictive validity showing relation to future performance, convergent validity with related measures, and clear, replicable methodology; also, a strong emphasis on evidence from realistic testing environments.
How to tell if a screening tool actually works | With Dr Charlie Eyre
Q: What are the basic principles we should look for in a screening tool?
The core considerations are validity (does the tool measure what it claims to measure?), reliability (is it consistent over time and across administrations?), and fairness (does it avoid disadvantaging any group and comply with relevant standards).
This is why inclusion efforts fall short for neurodivergent candidates | With Theo Smith
Q: Where are we today in terms of neuro inclusion within recruitment?
Theo explains that awareness has grown, especially in the UK, but there is a gap between interest and action, with many organizations still treating Neurodiversity as a narrow concept or a medical issue rather than a broad, practical spectrum of supports.
High volume, high stakes: building a retail hiring engine in the AI era | with Andrew Porter
Q: What tangible results did you see after implementing the new process?
Attrition fell from 40% to 25% in retail, fewer hires were needed overall, cost savings emerged from reduced sourcing and better candidate quality, and candidate and hiring-manager experience scores improved significantly.
