On today’s episode of the RecruitingDaily Podcast, William Tincup speaks to Caitlin MacGregor from Plum about calling bullshit on the talent shortage.

Plum is a SaaS platform that leverages industrial, organizational psychology, to assess people's innate talents and understand what drives them, gives them a sense of self worth, what drains them and leads to burnout.  The platform can quantify people's innate talents,  their ability to innovate, communicate, work well with others.

Their platform is available for mid-size to enterprise companies, to help them in everything from hiring through onboarding, as well as employee development, internal mobility, workforce planning, succession planning, leadership potential, and taking this data across the employee lifecycle.

Why is Caitlin "calling bullshit" on the talent shortage?
Competition for candidates is at an all time high, so we're calling it a talent shortage. But is that really an excuse to say the status quo has been broken? 

The way we've been sourcing, treating, and even thinking about hiring talent is broken. So how do we get to the root cause and deal with that? 

Tune in to find out.
