Maintaining Human Connections with Annie Carolla at Gensler

On this episode, host Ryan Dull is joined by Annie Carolla, Global Director of Talent Acquisition at Gensler, for a conversation about the impact of relationships on talent acquisition functions. Human connections are the backbone of successful recruiting, which is why Annie approaches her role as a TA leader according to the following principles: - Intentional talent branding efforts are foundational to telling your organizational story to potential candidates. - Internal connections with colleagues and departments outside of HR are as important as external connections with candidates and talent pools. - Recruiting and retention are two sides of the same coin, and TA leaders should still focus on a candidate’s experience after they’re hired. - Open communication between a team and its leaders is foundational to successful recruiting. - The recruiting experience should be tailored to each individual candidate. Having a people-centered view of TA functions creates an approach to recruiting that improves both conversion and retention.
