In this episode I chat with Bob Athwal, Fellow of ISE and currently leading Racial Diversity at Skyscanner. Bob has a vast range of experience in recruitment and higher education. This makes him the perfect chap to chat with about early careers recruitment in a decade that has been kick-started by crisis.
Bob gives us an inside view from both the early careers recruitment and the university market and we talk about a range of topics:
- Challenging the way organisations market to students: go beyond marketing messages with a more human and caring approach
- Not paying lip service to Diversity & Inclusion
- What smart employers are doing in response to the challenges this year
- Does the early careers market have enough experience to move from being transactional to transformative?
- Using your network to navigate the challenges you face
- Is "campus swag" the best way to invest in your future talent?
- Seeking out talent from a diverse range of universities.
