On this episode of the Talent Acquisition Leaders podcast, host Ryan Dull speaks with Julie Teague, Senior Director and Head of Talent Acquisition at Danone North America, about what talent recruitment looks like in a post-Covid world.
The last two years have brought many profound changes to the way businesses operate. An increase in remote work availability, non-traditional workweeks, and expanded employee benefits all contribute to the formation of new expectations that employees now have of the companies they work for.
These expectations have an enormous impact on the way talent recruitment is conducted. Finding people with the appropriate work environment flexibility, and being willing to be flexible yourself, is a new challenge facing talent acquisition leaders. While some businesses are trying to return to pre-pandemic standards, Julie thinks the future of recruitment is in embracing a new normal.
To her, these challenges are opportunities in disguise to revolutionize the way TA is conducted, creating more effective teams by catering to the new needs of her employees. As companies grapple with the way workplace culture is evolving, Julie thinks success lies in recruiting according to that culture, not dragging culture backward to maintain prior recruiting standards.
