Platypus
This week’s brainfood is sponsored by our buddies Platypus.
Platypus gives you the data point you’ve been missing when it comes to assessing if a candidate will thrive in the team & company culture. 
With systematic data on team culture and candidate values, Platypus allows you to track alignment, build strong teams, and tackle retention issues at the root cause. 
It’s next-generation stuff folks, so book a demo with a friendly member of the Platypus team, or give the methodology a try by experiencing their candidate flow.

How To Have Better 'Intake' Meetings With Hiring Managers
How To Have Better 'Intake' Meetings With Hiring Managers
Thanks to everybody who contributed to this post - all the commentators on the LinkedIn thread and the guests on the Brainfood Live. I’m going to start doing these threads more regularly to follow up the conversational content - hopefully they will become useful resource documents or quick and dirty ‘how to’ guides for the community. Take a look here

We Are Hiring (Someone A Bit Different)
The individual we are looking to hire for the role will have previously been convicted of a domestic burglary……
I’m sure we all agree of the need to actively support the criminally convicted back into the world of work but I have never quite seen it so explicitly stated as this. H/T to brainfooder Matthew Hill for the share in the fb group.

Interesting angle on assessing candidates at interview. The questions are thought provoking, and I suspect very rarely asked in most recruiting processes. Must read folks. H/T brainfooder Colin Donnery for the share in the fb group

Which are the best European countries to source Java programmers? This is the question, amongst others, that our buddies at AmazingHiring started to ask themselves - and their answer is this breakdown of programmers per language, per country, in Europe. Tech recruiters, take note.

Strategies For Onboarding In A Hybrid World
Strategies For Onboarding In A Hybrid World
“Nothing changed except the computer I use and the sites I access,” says Nobles, who tried moving his desk to a new spot in the room when he joined Microsoft, “just to make the experience feel a little different"
One of the unanticipated challenges of hiring in hybrid, is how to make the new hire feel that there’s a change. High touch with the line manager is the critical factor. Excellent post from Microsoft (whose internal research on hybrid is also available here)

Looking past the distractions of automated screening, this report from Accenture raises some pertinent questions about how and why our entire hiring systems and processes are configured around the default on the full time, onsite, permanent employees.

The 8 Keys for Managing Multicultural Teams by Erin Meyer
If you wanted one person to summarise Erin Meyer’s classic book The Culture Map, it would be Laetitia Vitaud. It’s all laid out here in one, easy-to-digest post. Must read, especially in these days of globally distributed teams
CULTURE

Tax Not The Robots
Tax Not The Robots
Persuasive argument against the Bill Gates position of taxing robots which displace human workers - it will simply discourage robot adoption, leading to less competitive businesses who are precisely those firms which employ less humans as well as robots. One to think about folks, especially as it does dip into an interesting side discussion as to how to define a robot….

The preview image of this post is the reason why should click on this link - basically summarises the entire article in a single, at-a-glance matrix and provides a framework with which we can develop better strategies for retaining staff. If you’re in a leadership position in your business, you need to read this. H/T to brainfooder Adam Gordon for the share in the fb group

The Incalculable Cost of Cheap Chicken
The Incalculable Cost of Cheap Chicken
The ‘candidate shortage’ disproportionately impacts industries which have long exploited immigrant labour. The UK Gov ‘solution’ of using prison labour simply transfers the exploitation from one vulnerable group to another. What role do we - as recruiters - play in this system? Long, important read. Especially if you also enjoy eating chicken.

Lily Russell-Stracey went to an exclusive boarding school and a top university – and is now a plumber in Glasgow. Dr Wanda Wyporska comes from a working-class background and was raised by a single mum. She went to Oxford University and is now Executive Director of the Equality Trust.
Fascinating premise on the role of social class to self perception. H/T brainfooder Colin McNicol for the share in the fb group.

Factoring High-Skills Freelancers Into The Enterprise Equation
It’s a fascinating challenge - how to integrate different types of worker into the enterprise. Recruiters will have embrace the increase in scope and care for a much broader universe of talent than just FTE. Have a listen. H/T to brainfooder Bas van de Haterd for the share.

End notes
Actually I am not in London, I am in Hemel Hempstead, just about to start Day 2 of helping my brother move house. Going to be a super busy week from now on - TWIR tomorrow, IHR on Tuesday, Founders Focus on Weds, before traveling down to Margate for RecFest on Thursday night in time for hosting the Brainfood stage on RecFest on Friday.
Going to need a mega long rest after this week.
Anyways, here ares some AI generated movie posters - they are quite beautiful eh? And…. can you guess which movie? So DM me on twitter or Instagram or TikTok if you can.
