Listen "#1 What can recruiters learn from Ottoman Empire?"
Episode Synopsis
Recruitment, a vital aspect of HR, can derive insights from history. The Ottoman Empire's recruitment strategy for its elite infantry unit, the Janissaries, provides a remarkable case study. The success of Janissaries, like their role in the 1453 capture of Constantinople, demonstrates the power of nurturing untapped talent pools. However, it's crucial to adapt to today's societal norms and ethics. The Janissaries’ rise and eventual fall serve as reminders of the importance of balance in organizational power.
