  • Ep.# 9: Colt .45s and Chili’s Beers: Tim Sackett and Kevin Wheeler share their worst HR Nightmare
    2025/01/09
    Kevin Wheeler and Tim Sackett drop some unforgettable HR gems, the kind you don’t hear about in your average conference session. Picture this: a loaded Colt .45 sitting in a desk drawer in California and a Chili’s lunch featuring a Budweiser that cost someone their job. These aren’t just wild stories—they’re reminders of how fuzzy workplace policies and unchecked behaviors can turn into HR nightmares. Kevin and Tim don’t just stop at the stories, though. They dig into how global trends and game-changing tech, like AI tools for hiring managers, are flipping the script on how HR tackles these challenges. It’s a smart, real-world look at the lessons HR pros deal with daily. Key Takeaways A loaded Colt .45 in an office drawer? Yes, that happened. HR’s response: unclear policies make everything harder. Lunchtime Budweiser's aren’t the best career move—how HR handles misconduct matters. Screening for "red flags" like firearms and alcohol issues isn’t always straightforward. Clear, enforceable workplace policies are critical for handling unexpected scenarios. Talent trends show gaps in hiring manager enablement—AI is stepping in to coach in real-time. Governance for HR tech stacks is becoming essential for compliance and mitigating risks. Hiring managers rarely hire often enough to retain training—real-time tools can fill the gap. Global HR challenges vary, but shared lessons highlight the importance of proactive solutions. Workplace misconduct stories offer cautionary tales for developing better HR strategies. Emerging startups at HR Tech reveal solutions even the big players haven’t tackled yet. Talent acquisition trends are about reading the fine print: legislation and small signs predict big shifts. HR’s job is more than policies—it’s balancing human behavior with organizational needs. This limited series is brought to you by FAMA, Modern Candidate Screening.

  • Ep. 8: Bar Raisers, Bra-less Interviews, and Nervous Breakdowns in HR, Steve Levy and Carmen Hudson
    2024/12/19
    Carmen Hudson and Steve Levy share unforgettable recruiting stories, from a candidate accidentally removing her top during an Amazon interview to a bar raiser showdown that tested patience and protocol. These moments reveal how preparation—or lack thereof—shapes outcomes in recruiting and hiring. In this episode, we explore interview blunders, the evolving role of empathy in candidate management, and why skill-based hiring remains a pipe dream for many. Carmen and Steve dive into lessons learned, strategies to improve recruiter-hiring manager collaboration, and how AI might finally deliver on its promise to fix the mess in recruitment. Key Takeaways Preparation is everything in recruiting—blank pads and vague objectives don’t cut it. Interview blunders (like accidental wardrobe malfunctions) require grace and empathy to manage. The Amazon bar raiser program shows how tight processes can help—but rigidity can hurt. Skill-based hiring is still far from reality for most organizations. Candidate nervousness and recruiter anxiety can derail interviews—building rapport helps. Ghosting candidates damages the employer brand—communication is critical, even with rejections. AI’s role in hiring must focus on outcomes, not buzzwords, to deliver real value. Collaboration between recruiters and hiring managers is essential for great hiring decisions. Clear rubrics and performance metrics are key to fair and efficient hiring processes. Empathy isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a game-changer for candidate experiences. Nervous recruiters need lifelong learning to stay sharp in today’s AI-driven hiring landscape. Structured interviews with clear goals lead to better hires and happier candidates.

  • Ep.# 7: Bias, Misconduct, and capital murder. Who hired them?
    2024/12/12
    Workplace bias and misconduct aren’t just buzzwords—they’re real challenges with real consequences. This episode unpacks stories that push the boundaries of HR, from a shocking workplace arrest to the subtle ways bias shows up in hiring. We’re digging into the tough lessons that redefine how leaders create equitable environments. In this episode, we look at workplace bias, hiring misconduct, gender equity, HR leadership, background screening, pay transparency, inclusion strategies, and the role of AI in shaping hiring practices. Key Takeaways Background screening gaps can lead to shocking incidents, as seen in the workplace arrest for capital murder. Gender bias in hiring remains a persistent issue, with real examples showing the impact of unchecked assumptions. Pay transparency laws highlight progress but underscore the ongoing inequity between male and female salaries. Leaders play a key role in fostering inclusion by amplifying marginalized voices and challenging cultural norms. Managing perceptions in the workplace is essential, with even small actions shaping long-term professional credibility. AI tools offer innovative ways to identify and correct biased language, turning errors into coaching opportunities. This limited series is brought to you by FAMA, Modern Candidate Screening.
