When it comes to HR and recruiting technology, almost all companies right now have a foundational tech stack: Payroll HRIS ATS Many of you also have learning, performance, add-on tech, etc. But almost all of us have the big 3. What we’ve seen recently with the talent acquisition technology space are organizations merging and buying each other at a rapid …
I’ve been traveling more than usual over the last few weeks, which inevitably means I have to leave the comfort of my favorite airline (Southwest) for more favorable flight times or prices. After one particularly long travel sprint, I ended up on Frontier. Frontier is one of those airlines that promotes the super cheap flights– the “$10 to Vegas” kind …
Yep – that’s me! The low-hanging fruit on the LinkedIn tree. What’s it like being low-hanging fruit and working in Talent Acquisition? Well, you’re popular with a variety of people.

The ad had been brought to the Communications team’s attention via a tweet stating that our reputable media company probably didn’t want to be …
