It’s a good time to be in talent acquisition. Right now there are more recruiting job openings than programmer openings in the U.S. Everyone is hiring and every company needs talent acquisition leaders to reach candidates, hire, and scale quickly. But the market to hire great talent continues to be a challenge especially in certain key industries. And that’s exactly what we are exploring.

Episode 305: TA Insights Featuring Jamie Starner, Marsha Lacey and Shelly Wilt
This interview is part of a new series called TA Insights for the Workology Podcast powered by Heroes Jobs. It’s an opportunity for TA leaders to share what’s happening in this wacky talent marketplace right now. Think of it like speed networking where I introduce to you the talent acquisition leaders you need to know. The good news is there is no travel or awkward handshakes or elbow bumps while you chat about the weather or how weird it is to be at an event face to face. Each episode in the TA Insights series features three 7-10 minute interviews with different TA leaders. In this podcast, we are focused on conversations with hospitality and restaurant TA leaders.
