In this episode, we delve into the concept of being "qualified" in the workplace, examining who gets labeled as such, who doesn't, and the underlying reasons. We explore "competency checking"—the practice of scrutinizing individuals' abilities—and how it disproportionately affects underrepresented groups, often going unnoticed or unchallenged. Our discussion aims to redefine qualifications in a fair, equitable, and actionable manner. Our guest, Shari Dunn , is an accomplished journalist, former attorney, news anchor, CEO, university professor, and sought-after speaker. She has been recognized as Executive of the Year and a Woman of Influence, with her work appearing in Fortune Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Ad Age, and more. Her new book, Qualified: How Competency Checking and Race Collide at Work , unpacks what it truly means to be deserving and capable—and why systemic barriers, not personal deficits, are often the real problem. Her insights challenge the narratives that hold so many of us back and offer practical solutions for building a more equitable future. Together, we can build workplaces and communities that don’t just reflect the world we live in, but the one we want to create. A world where being qualified is about recognizing the talent and potential that’s been overlooked for far too long. It’s not just about getting a seat at the table—it’s about building an entirely new table, one designed with space for all of us.

Episode 14 - Mentoring - Special Guest - Curt Mercadante 1:15:16

منذ 6 years1:15:16

1:15:16

Curt is a marketeer, business man, self described Freedom Club Owner and successful mentor and coach. Based out of the US, Curt has created a Freedom movement of people who want to change their life through a number of core ways 1. Identifying the individuals super powers 2. Aligning a vision 3. Creating the structure around you for alignment of the above 4. Identifying 3 outcomes to persue - daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, yearly and so on 5. Flow Background and Experience He was in the midst of running an extremely successful public relations/advertising agency and landing one big client after another. You move around a lot in that walk of life. Regular flights to catch meetings…conference calls and follow-ups…managing the collective anxieties of a demanding clientele base. His family was growing and so was his bank account. Mercadante did what he could to embrace the little moments that matter whenever they cascaded into view, but he also had to contend with the next thing: the next meeting, the next fire to put out, the next brand to promote. A carousel ride that continued in seeming perpetuity, Mercadante was satisfied with the growth of his business — because, why wouldn’t he have been? — though he couldn’t help but feel that there was something missing from the rush a surging career is supposed to offer. Then he remembered what a superhero looks like. Nicholas Mercadante, Curt’s father, was that superhero, almost quite literally. After graduating with an engineering degree from the University of Notre Dame, the elder Mercadante embarked on a career path that would be tough for any child to live up to. When your dad helps design electronic systems on space craft and fighter jets — you needn’t pine for comic book characters to save the day. All you have to do is look across the dining room table if you want to catch a glimpse of someone who boasts actual interstellar superpowers. But that wasn’t the primary reason why Mercadante’s father set such a high standard. What it really came down to was work ethic. Doing what needed to be done. When Nick Mercadante found himself facing a career switch later in life, he got a paper route. A paper route! Why? Simple: income was necessary. If there was going to be a gap in employment, that gap had to be filled. There wasn’t time for the ego to obstruct necessity, especially when there were mouths to feed. The only problem was time. There just never seemed to be enough of it. His father was a superhero, a man who literally helped change the world. Curt, for all of his strides made professionally, did not feel as though he was contributing to the verifiable betterment of anyone’s lives. He was a skilled distributor of information, sure. But just because he was successful did not mean he was particularly proud. Or fulfilled. A change was coming. Not right away, not in one fell swoop. Time, precious and fleeting, you could watch the seconds fall from the clock all while wishing you were doing something else somewhere else. Curt needed some of that time to reestablish his direction without letting too much of it go to waste. He began by informally coaching clients, friends, and colleagues. It was a natural fit. Curt had a snowglobe perspective of what his charges were dealing with. He could see the avenues in which they were misdirecting their energy, the biggest hurdle that causes most professionals to stumble. Indecision is another trap most fall victim to, be it due to a lack of confidence or woeful procrastination. Curt cut through the noise and guided his fledgling clientele away from their self-destructive habits and watched as they reached new heights at a pace so rapid, even he was surprised.…

Episode 13 - Mentoring - Top Tips for Interview Debriefs 4:48

منذ 6 years4:48

4:48

Do you want to be a top biller? Do you want to be the best recruiter possible? Interview Debrief 1. Trial Close – gather as much information as you can on the interview so you can work with the candidate to ensure you can begin the trial close process. Remember you are looking for what would stop them saying yes, leaving you with only a yes answer 2. Email Summation – sounds basic, but again, so many people don’t use this tool. Its all about getting the candidaets to commit to writing down what they have said and what they will accept 3. Face to face close / debrief – if you can, this is critical as it means you have a much more powerful connection to the candidate. Stay tuned for more top tips on my 3C's training philosophy - candidates, clients, company.

Do you want to be a top biller? Do you want to be the best recruiter possible? Subject – 3 top tips 1. Learn the CV – a surprisingly large number of candidates go wrong during interviews as they have not double checked their CV. The recruiters job is to prepare them for this. This may sound very simple and basic, however it is always the smallest detail that causes the most problems. 2. What they did – interviews are like anything else, you must practice what you are going to say. There is a difference between sitting telling someone your life story vs describing in details the facts around what your role was. As the recruiters, your job is to prepare the candidate for this. 3. How they did it – probably one of the most important parts of any interview. The HOW. This is critical to demonstrate your thought process and change from story telling to evidence based responses. Many candidates are great on the phone and even face to face, however they fall down on how to interview. Your job is to teach them.

Episode 6 - Mentoring - Top Tips for Screening 6:12

منذ 6 years6:12

6:12

Do you want to be a top biller? Do you want to be the best recruiter possible? Screening – 3 top tips 1. Referrals – get connected. I mentioned this in my sourcing podcast, the better you know someone the more chance you have of them referring people they know. Candidates, like strangers, don’t refer people unless they trust the other person. 2. References – this is a broad subject and we will cover in multiple podcasts, however for now it should simply be the line manager of their last 2 roles. (not the current one). This gives you ability to take a reference on a candidate early in the recruitment process and also do business development while you are there. This only works if you have a narrow function and market to ensure you are only speaking to similar or same contacts. 3. Leads and Market Info – social media now makes it really easy to find out who is hiring, providing you can demonstrate credibility to your candidates when discussing the market and where they are interviewing. You must first give them info, e.g. market data or market intelligence, for them to trust you to do the same. Once you know them, you only need the companies that are hiring as you can find the relevant manager on LI and the BD is complete.

Episode 5 - Mentoring - Tops Tips for Screening 5:40

منذ 6 years5:40

5:40

Top Tips – Screening Do you want to be a top biller? Do you want to be the best recruiter possible? Screening – 3 top tips 1. Qualifying (against a role) – very important note as this is different from prescreening. Qualifying against a role is asking probing questions to a candidate about where they have completed the necessary tasks set out by the hiring manager, JD or briefing document. The better you can do this, the better you interview and placement ratio will be. Remember we are not in the CV delivery business, we are in the placements business. 2. Exclusivity (market them out) – often overlooked simply as recruiters are afraid to ask for it. Don’t be. Much like 8 out 10 jobs worked exclusively are placed vs 2 if multi agent, the ratios for placing an exclusive candidate are the same. They will feel bought into your process and want to work with you to identify opportunities for them. This also means you don’t need as many candidates, only more opportunities to market them too. 3. Follow up (call cycle) – probably the No.1 frustration for candidates across the world, recruiters not calling them back. The key to this is not to over index yourself and have too many candidates. I believe that quality over quantity will work every time. Narrow your function and market, build excellent hot lists of top candidates and speak to them regularly. At least monthly as a minimum. They should give you all the info you need on your market. Stay tuned for more top tips on my 3C's training philosophy - candidates, clients, company.
