Sounds like a joke, right? Well, it happened—and it cost a major pitch. In this episode, Ryan Leary and William Tincup dive into workplace mishaps with Doug Shonrock from Joveo, unpacking the infamous shipping blunder that became a legendary example of brand oversight. From the high-stakes world of programmatic job advertising to why small mistakes can cost big dollars, this conversation is loaded with insights (and some laughs) about the workplace’s unspoken rules. In this episode, we look at employer branding, recruitment marketing, DE&I partnerships, and strategic networking at HR Tech. Doug shares why understanding your audience matters in both advertising and day-to-day business interactions—because sometimes, the simplest mistakes make the biggest impact. Key Takeaways ➡️ A DHL pitch got rejected because it was delivered in a FedEx envelope—brand awareness fail! ➡️ Small workplace mistakes can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars in lost business. ➡️ Understanding company values and branding isn’t just for marketing—it’s for every role. ➡️ HR Tech has shifted from direct sales to strategic partnerships and networking. ➡️ Joveo's evolution: From programmatic job ads to full candidate funnel optimization. ➡️ Why DE&I partnerships are a major focus for HR vendors and talent platforms. ➡️ HR Tech has changed over 25 years—direct employer buying is fading, partnerships are rising. ➡️ The importance of engaging every employee in the business mission—no task is “too small.” ➡️ If you work in recruitment marketing, know your audience, their competitors, and their values. ➡️ HR vendors are looking for new partnerships, especially in DE&I and candidate supply. ➡️ Don’t assume your team understands the stakes—communicate, align, and reinforce. ➡️ Always double-check your workplace processes, from shipping to strategy. 💬 Ever made a costly workplace mistake?

  • Ep. 10: Addiction, Empathy, and Missteps: HR Stories That Shape Leadership
    Jan 16 2025
    Torin Ellis and Rob Boersma bring unforgettable workplace stories that go beyond bad behavior to the tough leadership calls behind the scenes. From managing an addicted but high-performing employee to diffusing hostile interviewees, their experiences reveal the human side of HR’s toughest challenges. In this episode, we dive into addiction and enabling, lessons in leadership accountability, and how empathy and clear processes can transform outcomes. Rob and Torin also explore how emerging tech, like AI-powered skills matching, is reshaping the future of recruitment. It’s a mix of hard lessons, practical advice, and new ideas for HR professionals. Key Takeaways Addiction in the workplace can present tough leadership challenges—balancing accountability with empathy is key. High performance doesn’t excuse misconduct; clear processes and support systems are essential. Hostile candidates during interviews can derail hiring—empathy and preparation help defuse tension. AI-based skills matching is disrupting the "crappy keyword search" approach in recruitment. Leadership lessons often come from missteps; documenting processes builds accountability and fairness. Site visits and hands-on learning can help recruiters build trust and avoid conflict with candidates. Empathy doesn’t mean enabling—it means providing resources and holding people accountable. Companies need a stabilization system for DEI initiatives to withstand shifting market pressures. HR’s client is always the employee first; everything else builds from that foundation. Walking the HR Tech floor reveals buzzwords like AI, but outcomes matter more than jargon. A strong organizational ethos is the backbone for long-term DEI success. Transparency and clarity in leadership decisions build trust and prevent future challenges. This limited series is brought to you by FAMA, Modern Candidate Screening.
