Over the past 12 months, there has been a lot said about the changing labor market. From 16% unemployment in March 2020 down to less than 4% today, we’ve seen a recruiting challenge unlike any other.
Our guest today knows a thing or two or three about these changes. He’s been on the technology side of the talent acquisition industry for more than 20 years, and today, he is the CEO of Talroo, Thad Price.
As someone who oversees more than billion monthly searches by job seekers, Thad has a fairly unique perspective on the trends on the job market and what it takes to hire top talent.
In this show, we discuss:
- The current labor market and four critical factors driving talent shortages.
- Why talent acquisition needs to be viewed as a sales and marketing process.
- The impact of remote work and what small to midsize companies can do to effectively compete against larger, often higher paying organizations.
- The value of creating “battle cards” as a way to think through talent attraction.
- The impact of gig work on recruiting and the often overlooked advantages of traditional employment.
- How organizations need to change the paradigm of hiring from reactive to strategic and see people as a revenue center.

Technology.
It’s probably the hottest topic in the staffing industry. Well, maybe after recruiting and vaccine mandates.
On this show, Vicki and I chat with Tim Jackson, Principal & Senior Consultant with PPT Partners Group and a Senior Consultant with Newbury Partners, the staffing industry’s leading Bullhorn integrator.
Tim is a 20-year veteran of the staffing industry with a REALLY unique background that includes finance, staffing operations management, and more than six years of technology consulting.
While you might expect Tim to be focused on automation and apps, he brings a very different view on the value of technology in our industry, and on this show, we talk about:
The role of technology as a driver to lower S,G&A costs as a percent of revenue.
- How unsexy areas like pay/bill automation may be most ripe for automation.
- The evolution of RPA and low-code platforms.
- Why staffing companies must avoid the “shiny object syndrome.”
- How to estimate the true costs of technology projects (and why companies underestimate so badly).
- How to best evaluate technology investments – and watch out for stranded costs.
- The impact of the pandemic on digital transformation and what the most successful companies are doing differently.
- Keys to avoiding technology project failure.
- What the future of staffing technology may look like.
- And best of all, that the machines are not taking over!
Sit back and enjoy a bit of geek talk that could make a big impact on your future success.

Not every staffing executive comes with an Ivy League pedigree. In fact, many of the most successful staffing entrepreneurs had humble beginnings—and created great success through grit, determination, and a lot of street smarts.
Today’s guest, Leslie McIntyre Tavella, is one of these people. As you’ll hear in her story, she grew up in a blue-collar family, leaving high school at age 16 to take on the world.
And boy, has she succeeded.
Leslie has had a 31-year career in the staffing industry. In that time, she founded and grew an award-winning agency serving central Connecticut, CT, wrote a book on the lessons of growing an entrepreneurial company, and founded an HR consulting business training small to midsize employers to become “HR progressive.”
In this episode, Leslie talks with us about her experiences in the staffing industry, the keys to breaking through the ceilings that often constrain small staffing companies, and her remarkable journey to becoming a community and industry leader.
Here are a few of the topics we discuss:
- What staffing company owners need to do to build a rock-solid foundation for growth.
- The importance of having a clear “MVP.”
- The one-question Leslie trained her team to ask – as question she credits for increasing company revenue 10 to 15 percent each year!
- What it means to be “HR Progressive” and why companies need to start thinking this way.
- Reasons to create a “bragable” brand, and why this has become so important for staffing companies and their clients.
- Rethinking job postings with the HYMN process.
- Why today is really not a “new normal” and we’re never going back to what was.
