Welcome back to HR Talk: Trends & Leaders, a new series hosted by our Managing Director of North America Rosh Jayawardena. This series will be a range of interviews with experts in the field on specific HR topics to maximize our network’s skills in the professional world. 

 

The next guest in the series is Elisabeth Woodfield, a Technical Recruiting Manager at Juniper Square who joins Rosh to discuss passive and active candidates and the biases towards the latter. 

 

This year, recruiters in the HR world have seen a huge influx of active candidates in the market amid a rise in layoffs and a desire for change post pandemic. Rosh and Elisabeth unpack the importance of inclusion and diversity amongst both passive and active candidates as well as the importance of maintaining a standardized interview process to give everyone a fair chance!
