Introductions, Identities & Interviews

  • Summary

  • In episode two of Hidden Talent, host Erin Trafford guides us as we explore the role introductions and identity plays in the hiring process. Qualifying, introducing and identifying great candidates isn't simply about a well-constructed job description or resume. With awareness of the potential for an unintended culture clash, attracting hidden talent requires listening and empathy.   We hear from employers Sarah Dunkley and Janine Harris about employer perceptions, and possibly misperceptions, of candidates with a background of military service.   Chris Stoyles, retired member of the Canadian Armed Forces, shares more about his experience transitioning from military to civilian career life and Lisa Taylor describes common employer and Veteran patterns observed by the team at Challenge Factory. Highlights:   Employer misperceptions about Veterans and the military Where bias is getting in the way of how employers find talent Mission-Team-Self (military) versus Self-Team-Mission (business) One of the best ways an employer can set the tone for a successful interview
