Recruitment Industry: What is Right Could Be Written on a Stamp!

What is Right About the Recruitment Industry Could Be Written on a Stamp!
Join Lisa Haggar and Katrina Collier to discuss what is wrong with the recruitment industry. The horror stories of people going through 6 rounds to get a job and then getting no reply, or how people receiving job offers then leave their job, only to be told that the job they applied for & won, has been made redundant before they even start!

Darren A. Smith:
Hi I'm your host, Darren Smith. We'll come back to these lovely ladies in a moment. Our topic for tonight and I'm going to blame Lisa for this is what is right about the recruitment industry could be written on a stamp. Katrina, I'm just gonna come to you and ask what's your name in this game? What do you do?
Darren A. Smith:
Let's stop listening.
Katrina Collier (Guest):
So I am best known as the author of the Robot Proof Recruiter that I have been in the recruitment industry for nearly two decades, and I spend most of my time delivering design thinking workshops to fix candidate experience and recruitment. And I also have a coaching and mentoring group that's probably me in a nutshell, but plenty plenty of experience in their recruitment and talent acquisition space.
Darren A. Smith:
Brilliant. Brilliant. But we wanna get into that and ask you what's wrong with this industry. Let me just come to Lisa for first. Lisa, what do you do?
Lisa Haggar:
It's a good question. I tell people I knit Jelly for a living because when you tell them the work in HR, it switches people off quicker than if you're the tax man. So I knit Jelly Darren.
Darren A. Smith:
Yeah.
Darren A. Smith:
Yeah. It's. OK. That's good.
Lisa Haggar:
Or otherwise known as the ******** from HR Queen of HR on LinkedIn, the opinionated small 5 foot blonde who has a lot to say about most things.

Lovely. And how do you guys know each other?
Katrina Collier (Guest):

Lisa Haggar:
Uh, Katrina's fabulous, and I know everybody who's fabulous on LinkedIn. Simple.
Katrina Collier (Guest):
Is it LinkedIn? I don't know how we know each other. That's hilarious. Yeah, LinkedIn.
Lisa Haggar:
It is, yes, yes, I remember. I remember the day we met Katrina. Do you mean you? You can't remember that wonderful time? I don't know.
Katrina Collier (Guest):
Yeah.
Darren A. Smith:
