Published: Jan. 29, 2021, midnight

b'In episode 123 of #thePOZcast, my guest Scott MacGregor and I talk about the business and art of recruiting, as well as how to give back. Scott is the Founder & CEO of SomethingNew and the Founder of the Talent Champions Council. He has written three books under his \\u201cStanding O!\\u201d series; or to be more specific, he\\u2019s coordinated the stories of entrepreneurs, military personnel, and other people with amazing experiences into a powerful tool for giving. Scott donates the proceeds of the series to respective causes and charities, and we dig into the inspiration and thought process behind that as well.\\xa0\\n\\nWe also talk about Something New, which is Scott\\u2019s answer to the flaws that he saw in the recruiting industry. Scott and I share a ton in common in the way of trying to fix old habits that recruiters have developed overtime, so much so that Scott has actually started to prefer to hire candidates without experience in the industry. We also talk about his company\\u2019s unique namesake, and how he has challenged himself to continually innovate because of it.\\n\\nScott has done a phenomenal job branding his company, and has also come up with the \\u201cPeople Over Everything\\u201d mantra that we both embody in our recruiting. As a key figure in talent access, Scott is a great example of how companies can become extremely successful by putting people first.\\n\\nCome listen to us nerd out over what we both love to do most-- helping people find their purpose-- in this episode of The POZCast!\\n\\nIf you enjoyed this episode, please leave a review/rating: https://ratethispodcast.com/thepozcast\\xa0\\n\\nThe POZCast is brought to you by our friends at Interseller - the prospecting + outreach platform of recruiters and sellers.
