HR Data Labs took the studio mobile and went live at HR Tech 2021 at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, NV, talking to thought leaders in People Analytics and HR Technology.  Join us as we go on this enlightening journey gathering cutting-edge insights from our guests!

Summary:

Tim Sackett is one of the few HR professionals who has been on both sides of the desk. With over 15 years of experience in talent acquisition, Tim has worked as a corporate staffing director for companies like Applebee’s International, ShopKo Stores, Inc. and Sparrow Health System. He has also had two stints with HRU. The first time, for eight year immediately following college; the second, returning à la Prodigal Son to run HRU—and his story is closer to the Biblical reference than you might think! Tim is an active HR blogger, a conference presenter, and an advocate for a Diet Mountain Dew soda fountain in the office. He truly believes that the most important role of HR in any organization is to increase talent. 

In this episode, Tim talks about how recruiting metrics and recruiting performance have changed over the years and where they might go in the years to come.

Quotes:

“All of our funnels, individually and as a team, are all transparent. And if there's a recruiter that had a bad week, or if there's a recruiter that decided to sluff off or whatever, well it shows. And it's not meant to be like a stressor, it's meant to [communicate], “Hey, understand if someone's being successful, take a look at why.” There's no magic, you know, or secret sauce.” 

“The “great resignation,” I think, is a misnomer. It's really just a great reshuffle, and people aren't leaving to leave. We’ll see stories in media like, “Oh, Mary left and she's going to take a break for a year, blah, blah, blah. You know, cause work's changed.” And I'm like, okay, but the reality is people are resigning from your company because you're not paying them enough. And somebody else is going to pay them more.”
