Listen "Ep 736: Trust, Influence & The Future Of Recruitment Marketing"
Episode Synopsis
Something fundamental has shifted in how people find work. Job boards that dominated for decades are losing their effectiveness. Candidates are overwhelmed and skeptical. Employers are drowning in applications that are all the same. The old playbook simply isn't working anymore.
Meanwhile, the TikTokification of communication and the rise of the creator economy are reshaping the marketing landscape. People trust other people more than corporate messaging and want to hear authentic voices, not polished PR. So could this approach work for hiring?
My guests this week are Tracey Parsons, CEO of Flockity, and J.T. O'Donnell, founder of Work It Daily. In our conversation, they explain how the influencer model not only has the potential to transform talent attraction but could also fundamentally change the way recruiting works.
In the interview, we discuss:
What's gone wrong with job boards and the job search
The loss of trust
The reality of interest-based algorithms
The growth of the knowledge creator economy
Using influencers to promote jobs
How job seekers and employers feel about influencer marketing
Why the recruiting process needs radical updating
Inserting the right friction points in a seamless experience
What does the future look like?
