Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Forget the Funnel: Groundworks Grades Its Recruiters on a Single Weekly Number
Q: How do you think about where to plug in AI or the next tool or technology in a human-driven function?
She sees AI as a way to take administrative tasks off recruiters' plates, not replace human connection. That gives recruiters more time to speak with frontline workers, many of whom prefer texts or phone calls to email.
Forget the Funnel: Groundworks Grades Its Recruiters on a Single Weekly Number
Q: What's your advice to someone in their late 20s or early 30s who is doing something but not necessarily loving it and is considering a career change?
Petersen advises finding work that inspires genuine passion and pursuing it, regardless of job title. Her own career pivot let her focus on helping people navigate their careers and experiences.
Inside Power's Recruiting Machine: How a Roofing Company Out-Hires Silicon Valley
Q: What's the skill that team needs more of over the next couple years than we have today?
Delaney says recruiters need to listen carefully rather than simply move through prepared questions. Follow-up questions can uncover candidates' needs and help both sides judge whether the workplace is a good fit.
Inside Power's Recruiting Machine: How a Roofing Company Out-Hires Silicon Valley
Q: How do you build the confidence to know when to let someone figure out their own process and when to step in and correct them?
Delaney recommends letting people try when the consequences are manageable, then course-correcting as they learn. Leaders should listen and observe to recognize situations where there is not enough room for an error and intervention is needed.
Selling a Role Like a Car: Inside Hendrick Automotive's Hiring Playbook
Q: How should we measure the success of your team and the performance of your team over the coming year?
Track open requisitions, their age, time-to-hire, and turnover within the stores to ensure you're not stuck with the same roles or underperforming locations, while also acknowledging that different dealerships may need tailored approaches yet still adhere to core standards.
