Chris recently caught up with RecTech pioneer, serial investor, and two-time exit'er, Adam Gordon, on the Employer Bland podcast! ️
Adam (Co-founder of Poetry HR) took a deep dive into his journey, starting from his school years. His story is powerful, filled with great memories, role models, and valuable experiences, along with a fair share of struggles and sharp changes in family circumstances. These experiences shaped his solid work ethic and curiosity for business and problem-solving.
Adam shared key moments from his career path; from starting his recruitment agency career, moving on to starting his own recruitment agency/consultancy to co-founding, scaling and exiting his first RecTech start-up, CandidateID.
His thirst for innovation didn't stop there. In early 2023, he launched Poetry HR, the Recruiter Enablement platform that’s been making waves across the industry ever since.
Recruiters need the right tools to perform at their best, yet this often doesn't happen in practice. In this chat, Chris and Adam discussed the critical role of Recruiter Enablement in the Employer Brand process, touching on Recruitment Marketing, Rec Learning, Talent Intelligence, and Rec Ops.
For example, can recruiters deliver an experience that is truly representative of the company, its culture and the many additional elements that make an employer brand if they are ill-informed, lack content, competitor intelligence and general guardrails etc?
The conversation also ventured into GenAI and its place in the recruitment process. Adam emphasised the importance of not fearing GenAI but instead learning to leverage it, in a way that complements our unique working styles.
Tune in to hear Adam’s insights on reshaping recruitment and empowering recruiters.
