The HR Twins Carla Patton & Camille Tate

\\xa0
For departments that are supposed to be working in tandem, HR personnel and recruiters are often putting each other down and devaluing the other\\u2019s role. Today\\u2019s guests have rectified the situation and are showing us exactly how it should be done, with HR and TA working side-by-side to deliver a hit podcast, The Career Saloon. Carla Patton is VP of HR at RAPP, and her twin sister, Camille Tate, is Head of Talent at Strava. The pair give us a breakdown of their podcast and explain why they started it, before detailing exactly how they ended up in their current careers.\\xa0 We discuss how to turn a bad interview into a valuable one, why it\\u2019s vital to be self-aware and own your mistakes, and why personal branding is inherent in every one of us. As Carla and Camille explain why they\\u2019ve never switched from HR to TA and vice versa, they give us their take on their least favorite aspects of the opposite department. Carla\\u2019s passion for TA is mirrored by Camille\\u2019s love for HR and after telling us which type of person is suited for each of their career paths, they explain why recruiters need to up their game and be more deliberate in their approach, and how technological advancements are making people forget about human-centric work departments.

\\u201cPeople are always watching you. It doesn\\u2019t matter if you think they aren\\u2019t; they are always watching you. If you don\\u2019t think you have a personal brand, you do.\\u201d \\u2014 @camilleRecruits [0:09:53]

\\u201cThe recruiting function is super important because we are like the cheerleaders, the welcome mats for the company. And if your welcome mat is tired, worn out, raggedy, then that\\u2019s a disservice, and you shouldn\\u2019t be doing that job.\\u201d \\u2014 @camilleRecruits [0:33:40]
