Brainfood Live, Ep120: Remaking Candidate Experience, Post Pandemic

Engagement rates dropping, drop out rates increasing, all the signs are there for a talent crunch maybe of the like we have not seen before - not so much no candidates in the market, more so candidates now being much more discerning than they were before. How do we remake candidate experience to better compete as an employer? Friday 6th August, 2pm BST - must attend for talent acquisition / EB / CX folks - register here

I’m in London and - what do you know - it’s a super expensive city to live in. I’ve been out 4 times this past week and I’m £350 down - a shocking figure as nightclubs were not involved! Probably not extraordinary for London pre-pandemic but it feels like excess after 18 months of spending pretty much nothing at all.

Going out of home is definitively necessary but I’m going to have figure out a way to do so without this type of conspicuous spending. It contributes to the world we’re seeing right now.

So DM me on twitter or Instagram or TikTok if you have any ideas on ‘stuff to do’ which isn’t consumerism, cheers

Have a great week everybody.
