In this conversation, Adam Posner and Tim Sackett discuss their experiences at the SHRM National Conference in Chicago. They talk about their time at the House of Blues, karaoke in Chinatown, and the sense of community and energy they feel at the conference. They also discuss the challenges and opportunities in the recruiting industry, including the impact of AI, the importance of hiring veterans, and the need for honest conversations with candidates. They touch on the future of recruiting, the disconnect between how success is measured in recruiting and the expectations of CEOs, and the role of employee referrals in building a solid company culture.
