18 JUN 2024 · This Tactical Tuesday conversation highlights the limitations of using job titles as a search term when looking for candidates — and introduces better ways to source talent. Job titles are not always indicative of the specific skills, experience, and responsibilities of a candidate — and often, they're more of a representation of where the candidate is than we're they're going. There are other issues, too, like the fact that companies often use creative job titles that may not accurately represent the role, and job titles can vary widely between companies — making it difficult to compare candidates. Vivien's recommendation is that instead of relying on job titles, recruiters should use Boolean search and filters to find candidates based on specific skills and experiences.

11 JUN 2024 · Exit interviews are often missed opportunities for companies to gather valuable feedback from employees — especially those who are leaving on quote-unquote "good terms." In this episode, our resident Tactical Tuesday queen, Vivien, walks us through the four different kinds of exits (employee resignations, layoffs, firings, and changing team) and what insights each kind of associated exit interview can provide into what can be done to improve retention and make better hiring decisions moving forward. Yet even knowing that these insights are available, many orgs don't formally conduct exit interviews — and those who do are often not doing them as effectively as they could.  Listen in to hear some of the top ways to structure an exit interview to get the most out of it — as well as Sam's #1 favorite exit interview question that transformed the way he looked at them entirely.  Chapters: 00:00 - Podcast Intro 01:43 - Understanding Exit Interviews: Types and Insights 05:24 - Top Questions to Unlock Exit Interview Insights 19:50 - Closing Thoughts and Farewell Explore all our episodes and catch the full video experience at https://loxo.co/podcasts/?utm_source=speaker&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=Episode+Description https://loxo.co/blog/podcast/089-tactical-tuesday-post-placement-candidate-hiring-manager-check-ins-ft-vivien-maron/https://loxo.co/?utm_source=speaker&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=Episode+Description
