Hello! It has been an absolute pleasure to have been this months editor – a lot of highs and lows in the TA community this November… the ATC event is still popping up in my discussions! Lots of forward thinking happening for Talent leading up to this holiday season. Will 2023 be our great divide?…
As we start thinking about our new year’s resolutions, let’s also start thinking about next year’s strategies to ensure that we are leading, not lagging, in the recruitment and career advancement of Transgender and Gender Diverse people. Gemma Saunders, ATC2022 speaker, shares more about how an equitable workplace starts with equitable hiring practices and what…
Hello! This week I almost dreaded reading through my LinkedIn feed each morning, as we have had wave after wave of shock and impacted roles in the Tech sector with an eerie reminder of 2020 pandemic times. Knowing full well the shock of being in an impacted role, my heart is aching for everyone that…
Are you a morning or evening person? Studies show we have strong differences in when we feel most creative and do our best work during the day. These differences go far deeper than just personal preference. Whether you like to get up early (a “lark”) or go to bed late (an “owl”), and when you…
Sydney has a strange buzz… could it be that everyone is still riding on the #ATC2022 (sky) High? Absolutely LOVED the content on LinkedIn the past few days! The team sent me some Day 1 photos so I thought I’d share some of them… Definitely feeling major #FOMO! So last week I shared a few…
Four months ago I wrote about the importance of improving Australia’s labour force participation rate given, with 480,000 vacancies. Even if Australia’s participation rate rose only one percentage point (to 67.7%) that would still represent an additional 210,000 immediately available workers. There are one million Australians who want to work but have barriers preventing them from doing…
Not long ago, an organisation’s employee value proposition (EVP) would only have needed to focus on the salary, bonuses and benefits offered, as well as how close the office is to public transport or a car park, amenities and social venues. Now, you must do more to sell the unique value and purpose of your…
Hello everyone, thrilled to be your Editor for November! I’m in Week 6 of my new role, and my recent experience on the other side of the table, as a candidate, has really made me think and reflect on what Candidate Experience now means to me. When did I go from a passive candidate in…
It is increasingly difficult to recruit solely on the basis of salary or benefits or even on the merits of a particular job. With everyone offering almost the same packages, tweaked and customized as they are, how can an organization gain a competitive advantage in recruiting? What tools or techniques can recruiters use that don’t…
Hi everyone – my last TWIT for the month of October is NOW! I’ve really enjoyed doing the TWIT again. It’s such a great way for me (a busy, important, and equally lazy gal with a job in talent acquisition) to keep up to date on talent things happening around the place. I thought for…
Hi everyone – my last TWIT for the month of October is NOW!
I’ve really enjoyed doing the TWIT again. It’s such a great way for me (a busy, important, and equally lazy gal with a job in talent acquisition) to keep up to date on talent things happening around the place.
I thought for this last issue I could share some tips, tools, and cool things with you – recruitment and not recruitment related. My gift to you so you can be your most mindful, productive, zen self at all times.
Leading into the last few months of the year can be manic, particularly as everyone is clawing their way to the Xmas/New Year break. Tempers are short, patience is gone, and burnout is real. I think it’s important to take time out for yourself, and your mind, and connect with your fellow talent community.
Speaking of … only 2 weeks to go until our ATC event for internal talent acquisition peeps at Luna Park! Get your tickets here. The lineup is insanely good, and there are rides.
Making the right hiring decisions is vital to any organisation’s success. Ideally, you’ll start with a strong pool of candidates. So, how do you increase the quality of the job applications you receive? Here are some simple steps! *spon*

A creative, and delicious, way to get noticed by a recruiter. Also, a lovely story to go with it.
New laws being implemented in the US will see companies forced to display job salaries in their job advertisements. If you’re not doing this already, get up to speed.

Workers with caregiving responsibilities are the fastest-growing category of employee identity groups. Caregivers aren’t just parents – they are grandchildren, friends, aunts, and uncles. A pandemic trend that seems to be growing.
Some legalities in the HR space are about to change for the better and will make it easier and less scary for employees that are victims of harassment at work to notify their employers.
A huge focus point for us at the moment – leveraging EVP, and getting the message out that we’re a great place to work. Some good tips in this article!
