An insider's look at what happens once you've applied for a job
In this episode of The Imaginary Possible host Suzanne LaGrande speaks with Abby Engers and and Corbin C about how people actually get jobs.
Abby is the HR manager at Boly:Welch, an employment agency in Portland Oregon. She helps with internal recruiting and does HR consulting for external clients. Corbin C. Is a career advisor at Boly:Welch who works with job seekers whom recruiters cannot help.
Topics discussed include:
- How recruiters evaluate resumes and decide who is a good candidate for a particular position
- Why employers use employment agencies to help find the right person for the job
- How sometimes employers don’t know what they are looking for or may have unrealistic expectations about finding the person who matches every job qualification ( “A Purple Squirrel”)
- Why AI is not going to replace human job recruiters anytime soon.
