Many marketers often narrow their focus on branding, concentrating primarily on select elements such as an organization's visual identity, advertising and promotional efforts, and its presence on social media platforms. However, it's important to consider that branding also plays a significant role in the realm of recruitment. This week on the podcast, we welcome Shelley Billingshurst, President of Hire Value Inc, to discuss the delineation between HR and Talent recruitment, the importance of organizational branding and it’s effects on recruitment, why talent tracking systems create horrible brand experiences for talent and so much more. This is a very polarizing episode we hope you enjoy!
