The skill set of a TA is evolving and we don’t have the right toolkit to adjust. That’s why it feels messy, hiring managers not engaged, too many tools to choose from, never enough time to work on the right projects ultimately there is a perception problem in Talent Acquisition.
The Holistic Recruiter Club came about after 5 years in my mind, how do we elevate TA teams, how do we provide training and workshops that are 100% tailored to this topic. How do we emperor TA’s to take control of their careers? So we need to stop fighting in the trenches and take a 50,000ft view to understand how to navigate the situation.
Hiring managers and executive teams, through no fault of their own, often overlooked the goldmine of potential lying within their recruitment teams. The field of talent acquisition, although rife with potential, is still in its youth, grappling with inconsistent training standards and the exhilarating yet daunting low barriers to entry. Yet now we are growing, growing from a young department to the next phase.
What if we could arm you with insights and experiences help you do more with less? To help yo grow to take back control of your career?
At the holistic recruiter club we champion a people-first approach, supported not dominated, by technology. We've looked to the best practices in product management, sales, marketing, branding, and beyond, bringing back the wisdom to apply within our own world of recruitment.
Our vision and solution is not a silver bullet, but more like a set of keys to the skills, knowledge, and community you will need to grow during this next phase.
17 years of journeying through the highs and lows of talent acquisition, PeopleOps and start-ups - I think I have finally realised the problem.
What people have to say having worked together over the last 17 years
I had the pleasure of working with John for 3 years during my Journey at talent.io. During this time, he led the UK team with a lot of enthusiasm, and creativity and was instrumental in the result and the growth of the team and the company. He is a very knowledgeable and professional individual, with an excellent sense of customer service! It was a joy to work hand in hand with John and I learnt a lot from him professionally and personally! He has been an excellent mentor and manager thanks to his personality and good vibes! I couldn't recommend John enough, if you're aiming to hire him or if you are looking for a solid partner!
Having worked with John on multiple projects over the years, he has always offered a great sounding board for recruitment and HR topics. He has always delivered a high standard of work even with short deadlines. I’ve always found him extremely easy to work with and a good sparring partner. I’d recommend him to any Leader/Founder, who is looking to upgrade their recruitment team's processes.
In an era where we're constantly challenged to achieve more with less, John's AI workshop is an unmissable opportunity. If you find yourself grappling with the demands of modern recruitment, this course is tailor-made for you. I've worked closely with John as a recruiter, and I can attest to his unwavering commitment to staying at the forefront of technology and innovation. His dedication to mastering cutting-edge tools and techniques, coupled with his natural talent for mentoring, it sets him apart as a remarkable facilitator.
John is a friend from the moment you meet him. For me, this allowed me to find the creative juices to solve problems together quicker and meant the difficult stuff didn’t get brushed aside or downgraded. John shows up with his vast skill set to use his expertise beyond the initial problem. He is a true thinking partner.
