It is an absolute delight to be back after a slightly longer summer podcasting break than I was anticipating. I've nearly finished my book and, most importantly, have put a lot of time into planning the future of RecruitingFuture. The first thing to announce is that there will now be a full transcript of each episode in the show notes to make recruitingfuture.com more accessible and more searchable. The transcripts start from episode 369 onwards. I'll have more exciting news to share in the coming weeks, so keep listening and make sure you subscribe to the show whether you get your podcasts.\n\nSo on with Episode 370, earlier in the year, my long-time collaborator Mervyn Dinnen and I partnered with the team at SHL on a piece of research into the future of candidate experience. We identified six fundamental shifts in thinking which will help employers deliver an exceptional candidate experience and have published all the findings in a new whitepaper.\n\nTo talk through the six shifts, I'm delighted to welcome one of my co-authors on the whitepaper Sam Whiteman, Head of Solutions at SHL. Enjoy the conversation, and please download the whitepaper once you've had a listen.\n\nIn the interview, we discuss:\n\n\xa0\xa0\xa0\u2022\xa0\xa0\xa0The current state of candidate experience\n\n\xa0\xa0\xa0\u2022\xa0\xa0\xa0The employer brand opportunity\n\n\xa0\xa0\xa0\u2022\xa0\xa0\xa0Translating lessons from consumer experience into candidate experience\n\n\xa0\xa0\xa0\u2022\xa0\xa0\xa0Automation and asynchronous empowerment\n\n\xa0\xa0\xa0\u2022\xa0\xa0\xa0Realistic job previews\n\n\xa0\xa0\xa0\u2022\xa0\xa0\xa0Real-time candidate experience optimisation\n\n\xa0\xa0\xa0\u2022\xa0\xa0\xa0Offering personalised feedback at scale\n\n\xa0\xa0\xa0\u2022\xa0\xa0\xa0Authenticity\n\n\xa0\xa0\xa0\u2022\xa0\xa0\xa0Demonstrating Diversity, Equity and Inclusion\n\n\xa0\xa0\xa0\u2022\xa0\xa0\xa0The role of technology\n\n\xa0\xa0\xa0\u2022\xa0\xa0\xa0Realistic and practical advice for talent acquisition leaders\n\n\nDownload the whitepaper\n\n\nListen to this podcast in Apple Podcasts.
