Talent is an Unfair Game.
You need to know how to play.
Nick Mailey, VP of Talent Acquisition for Intuit (top-shelf industry-leading TA organization) has the playbook, and he's agreed to join ranks with RecruitingDaily for an hour of training and Q&A to guide you through the field.
Understanding which Recruiting Metrics Matter and which are a waste of your time is essential to your success - you already know that.
Nick is going to teach you what you don't know.
And you're going to want to take notes.
Here's what we're going to cover:
The Curse of Talent in an Unfair Game
Understanding Vanity Metrics
Learning and Utilizing Empathy
Community Metrics
Closing Passive Candidates
A whole lot more....
We're not going to feed you basic knowledge you can find on Google.
You're going to take home actionable plans, real-time tools, and informative, common-sense data that will increase your workflow.
So, what do you say?
Do you want to win at the talent game?

Measures that don’t correlate to what really matters
Vanity metrics
Baseball looks like:
• Batting average
• Hits for power (home runs)
• Runs fast
Talent acquisition looks like:
• # of Applicants- careersite
conversion
• Applicant flow- # of interviews
• # of hires
• Cycle time

he's great at playing the part.”

Where we landed
Gaining Deep Customer Empathy allowed us
to re-imagine our value proposition
Transformed the way we evaluate and measure
Where we started
• Used Lean Start In method to create a
product vision
• Gained customer empathy
• Declared customer as hiring manager &
benefit as quality of candidate
Where we went wrong…
and what we learned
• Product focused vs customer focused
• Who was really hiring us and what did they care about?
• What is the real value (Quality vs volume)?
• We only focused on things we could control – not what the
customer cares about!
• Customers:
- Hiring manager
- Candidate
• Benefit:
- Quality of hire
- Speed of hire
- World class experience
“The customer benefit is not a business outcome, a product, or a
service. It is a promise made to the customer.”

What is it? Knowing your customers better than they know themselves
Why do we do it? The better you know your customer, the more likely you will be to know what they
really need (the customer benefit)
Method Best Practices TA Examples
Customer Interviews Broad to narrow, begin with “What’s important to you?” 100+ Hiring manager interviews, starting with “what’s important in your day?”
Experiments Observe actual behaviors and emotions 100+ A4A experiments to define and drive adoption
Customer Safaris Understand workarounds and the emotion behind them
Whine & Dines (dinners with recruiters and non-accepted candidates)—
recruiters said “I never knew this!”
Verbatims Identify root causes and areas of energy Digging through NPS and Glass Door comments
Concept Testing Be open to real feedback and feelings Recruiter feedback on new prototype tools, new playbook and more
Customer Empathy Key: Seek to understand emotion in every interaction. Emotion
signals what is most important to our customer.
