Imagine stepping into a job interview where the vibe isn't about ticking boxes or rattling off achievements, but instead about genuine human connection. This episode of Rebel HR is precisely that breath of fresh air, as we welcome Lori Wallace from Career Ecology to the stage. Lori shares her vision of recruitment as a deeply personal journey, celebrating radical kindness and a Sherpa-like support system for those navigating the precarious paths of career transitions. It's a conversation that will leave you rethinking the way we approach the delicate dance of hiring and getting hired. Ever walked into an office that boasted a 'family-like atmosphere' and found yourself in a cutthroat corporate Hunger Games instead? We've all seen companies where the gap between their polished values and the daily grind is wider than the Grand Canyon. In this session, I recount a tale of a wolf in sheep's clothing—a company that talked a big game about mindfulness but dropped the ball when it mattered most. Contrast that with the Cleveland Clinic's approach, where servant leadership isn't just a buzzword but the golden thread woven into their culture, and the difference is staggering. It's a deep dive into the essence of organizational integrity and how staying true to one's values can be a magnet for lasting talent. To close, we focus on revolutionizing the job interview, transforming it from a stage of high stakes to a space of heartfelt service. Lori walks us through mindful interviewing, offering solace to those who've felt the sting of rejection and practical mantras to shift perspectives from ego-driven to heart-led. We wrap up pondering HR's potential to not just fill positions but to fulfill human potential, urging a move away from seeing people as capital and towards recognizing them as the beating heart of every organization. So, if you're ready to see HR in a whole new light, this is one conversation you won't want to miss.
