    Up Next @ Work, Episode 11 with Bennett Sung
    Sep 23 2024
    High-quality, accurate candidate-matching software is considered the "silver bullet" of the HR Tech world. Bridging the gap between the language of the recruiter and the language of the applicant to build the best possible candidate pool has been a puzzle the industry has been trying to crack since the mid-90s. Still, solutions are falling short of expectations. Our guest this week, Bennett Sung, draws on his nearly two decades of experience as a Product Marketing Manager and CMO in the HR/Recruiting Tech industry to discuss how solutions providers can make their products more effective for the end user. Bennett and Kate discuss a wide range of topics, including: The disconnect between resume and job description language causing issues for automated matching systems. The need for stricter job intake guidelines, including detailed ideal candidate profiles. The risk of bias in candidate selection, even with AI, and the need for hiring teams and solutions providers to address it. Current benefits of Generative AI in hiring and its potential future developments. Learn more about the state of the candidate matching software landscape by listening to our conversation with Bennett. Thanks for sharing Up Next @ Work with your community.

    Old-school go-to-market tactics simply don’t work anymore, says our guest, Josh Schwede of Aventura Growth Labs. In this episode of Up Next @ Work, he talks about why bombarding prospects with unwanted emails, day in and day out, won’t result in a sales order. Given the extreme pressures on CEOs and founders, he recommends abandoning the harsh “grow or die” mentality and redirecting sales and marketing energy towards building loyal followings. This community-building GTM approach generates better engagement and brand awareness. Jeanne and Josh discuss: What's changed with GTM expectations and experiences. The problem with over-innovation within the HR Technology space. What companies need to know now. Learn more by listening to our conversation with Josh.
