Ep 415: LinkedIn & Career Breaks
Destigmatizing career breaks is something that I feel very strongly about and something that talent acquisition needs to take very seriously. With so much lip service paid to diversity and inclusion and the current difficulties of finding talent, it makes zero sense to still view career breaks negatively.\n\nThis week LinkedIn have announced Career Breaks on the LinkedIn Profile to better reflect the realities of career journeys and, in turn, begin to normalize career breaks in the recruiting process.\xa0\n\nMy guest this week is Jennifer Shappley, Global Head of Talent Acquisition at Linkedin. As well as talking us through the new career breaks feature, Jennifer discusses the key findings on LinkedIn's latest Global Talent Trends report and shares her thoughts on the future of talent acquisition.\n\nIn the interview, we discuss:\n\nGlobal Talent Trends\n\nWellbeing and flexibility\n\nTrust\n\nLinkedIn's new Career Break profile section\n\nHow can talent acquisition support people who have taken a career break\n\nHow is talent acquisition changing, and where is it going?\n\nMaking interviews equitable in a hybrid world\n\nWhat are the biggest challenges talent acquisition teams are facing\n\nListen to this podcast in Apple Podcasts.
