• EP 189 – The View from Here with Holland McCue August 24, 2020
  The future of employer branding (or maybe the maturation of it) lays in how well it is integrated into the corporate brand.

• EP 187 – Cognitive Bias August 10, 2020
  We all make decisions based on mental shortcuts and pattern recognition. It’s just what humans do.

And it makes sense: if you’ve built all your metrics and value around filling the top of the funnel, not having much of a recruiting funnel makes employer brand redundant.

Lately, it sure seems like employees are having a lot more say in what the company is (and isn’t) okay with. So who’s really in charge?
