## Resource

In episode 252, Coffey talks with Beverly Parker about how recruiting and talent acquisition are evolving and why relationship-based recruiting still matters. They discuss the shift from newspaper job ads, to Monster, to today’s AI-powered recruiting platforms; why “post and pray” or “post and spray” recruiting fails to attract high-quality passive candidates; how recruiters use professional networks to identify specialized talent faster; the growing impact of AI-generated resumes and fraudulent job applicants; why recruiters should avoid over-relying on AI resume filtering tools; strategies for sourcing passive candidates in competitive hiring markets; the value of agency recruiters for hard-to-fill and specialized positions; how employers can improve hiring processes during a frozen labor market; candidate expectations around compensation, flexibility, and work-life balance; why transparency about career growth opportunities improves retention and hiring outcomes; the increasing importance of training and development in workforce planning; how younger workers want meaningful work and stronger onboarding support; the importance of hiring for adaptability and learning agility instead of static skills; lessons from building recruiting functions inside growing organizations; and how long-term recruiter relationships create stronger organizational outcomes than transactional placements.
