This ep features two additional Sapians: Toby McKinnon, CMO, and Rhonda Zoef, Head of Growth. We discuss our recent appearance at the illustrious Australasian Talent Conference in Luna Park, Sydney. The team spoke to many thought leaders about diversity, recruitment efficiency, the future of talent acquisition, and more – and we're thrilled to share it with you in a compact session.

Barb Hyman is joined by Keri Foti, Head of Talent Acquisition at Woolworths Group. Woolworths is Australia’s largest private employer, and they use our tech to screen and interview a million candidates per year. They talk about the logistics of implementing a game-changing tech solution: Why to do it, how to get a big business united behind the project, how you measure return on investment, and more.

This ep, we’re talking candidate experience with Lars Van Wieren, CEO at Starred. Sapia and Starred’s solutions are quite complementary, in that they solve for candidate experience issues in similar and different ways. Today we talk about candidate experience, but less about the ‘DO IT NOW’ and more about the ‘How to do it at your company’ - because we hear from a lot of people that the issue is not desire, but capability.

Barb Hyman is joined by Meahan, CHRO at Redbubble. Meahan Callaghan is a 30-year veteran of HR and talent acquisition. She has worked and consulted for major companies like Seek, AMP, and Mecca.
