Fiserv VP of Talent Acquisition Bryan Schreiber

Talk Talent To Me

Today, we chat with VP of Talent Acquisition for Global Business Solutions at Fiserv, Bryan Schreiber. Bryan walks us through how recruitment has changed over the years, whilst still remaining true to a single core philosophy: Building relationships. We get to understand that the more honest a company is and the more they work on building that initial relationship with a potential employee, the more likely they are to find the right candidates and indeed keep them.

Key Points From This Episode:

• Engagement and company culture is what will keep retention numbers up.
• Many companies are attractive so job seekers are looking at many places at the same time; a big problem for recruiters.
• It's important to make prospective employees aware of your company's ethos.
• Successful recruitment can happen in any industry, as long as you know how to engage.
• In executive recruiting, people generally know exactly what they want.
• As a recruiter, you should know what you're selling, and keep selling it.
• It's all about relationship
• Recruiters and hiring managers should have a great relationship with one another.
• Behavioral stacks are great indicators for recruiters.
• It's not a bad idea to stay at one company for a while and build those relationships.
