Summary
Jim Miller on Talent Acquisition: Career Growth, Remote Hiring, and Today’s Employer Market On the Cyber Security Recruiter podcast, Thomas chats with Jim Miller, a talent acquisition leader with 25 years’ experience, including early recruitment at Allegis, a decade at Google (rising to global head of inbound talent), VP of Talent Acquisition at FullStory, and now VP of People and Talent at Ashby, where the company is fully remote across 27 countries. Jim shares career lessons: teach and share expertise, explicitly ask for roles you want, and prioritize quality over quantity. They discuss today’s market dynamics: layoffs, heavy competition for remote roles, niche hard-to-fill roles, and intentional application “friction”,plus concerns about overusing AI in applications. Jim advises tailoring CVs to show what you did, how, and the impact and magnitude of your actions, and recommends Ashby’s “Offer Accepted” podcast. 00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro 01:51 Life and Remote Work 03:04 Team Retreats and Remote Culture 04:07 Career Growth Lessons 08:13 Quality Over Quantity 10:06 Intentional Applications 12:19 Hiring Market Imbalance 16:47 AI Use and Integrity 19:33 Resume Impact and Magnitude 22:40 Resume Bullet Formula 22:53 ATS Myths And Evidence 24:05 AI Criteria Matching 25:26 Speed And Transparency 25:41 High Volume Review Hacks 26:37 Accent Banter Break 27:08 Handling Setbacks Adaptably 29:23 Inbound Versus Sourcing 32:33 Early Google Scaling Story 34:41 Choosing Product Market Fit 36:28 Building Google's ATS 39:50 Offer Accepted Podcast 41:03 Learning From Coworkers 43:03 Closing Thoughts
