Courtside TA conversation with Brooke Toole at Dicks Sporting Goods

On today’s episode, host Ryan Dull is joined by Brooke Toole, Director of Talent Acquisition - Corporate, University Relations, Gamechanger at DICK’S Sporting Goods, to discuss how her team is using technology as part of a healthy workplace culture. To implement digital tools well, Brooke likes to keep a few important principles in mind: - Digitization is the way of the future and companies must adopt proper tech tools in order to stay relevant. - Having a dedicated IT team represented in leadership meetings is a fantastic culture-building tool. - Regular engagement with digital tools builds familiarity and streamlines workflows. - Open communication is an essential skill for recruiters in all industries. - Honesty with hiring managers builds trust and makes teams more effective. - Everyone has their own recruiting niche and it’s healthy to admit when you’re out of your depth and recruiting in an unfamiliar industry. - The best recruiters are the ones that have the healthiest relationships with their hiring managers. This merging of technology with workplace culture is a fascinating glimpse into the future of recruiting teams and their relationship to technology.
