Published: July 20, 2022, 6 a.m.

I'm on holiday at the moment, but I want to make sure that you have plenty of Recruiting Future content to listen to until I'm back. So for the next couple of weeks, I'm going to republish some of my favourite episodes with conversations that you may have missed the first time round.\n\nThis week's replay is my conversation from earlier in the year with\xa0Maggie Spong, VP of Talent Acquisition at AstraZeneca. It is one of the best examples I've had on the show for a while of a company developing holistic, long-term strategic solutions to deal with ongoing skill shortages. It is well worth a listen, even if you have heard it the first time around.\nIn the interview, we discuss:\n\nHow Talent Acquisition is evolving at Astra Zeneca\n\nUsing Talent Scouts to build external talent pipelines for hard to fill roles and where there are gaps in internal succession planning\n\nBuilding a personalised and inclusive candidate experience.\n\nGiving feedback to all interviewed candidates\n\nThe challenges of the pandemic\n\nEncouraging candidate self-selection by showcasing the authentic employee experience\n\nTurning The Great Resignation into The Great Opportunity\n\nThe role of technology\n\nEmployer brand advocacy\n\nInvesting in development and the Talent Acquisition Academy\n\nAstra Zeneca's focus for 2022\n\nListen to this podcast on Apple Podcasts.
