The Greenhouse podcast: Talent Makers, featuring Shelley Zalis
Talent Makers are leaders who believe that talent is their top business priority. Rather than seeing hiring solely as the role of People teams, Talent Makers champion better hiring and strengthen DE&I across their entire organizations to achieve business success. On the Greenhouse Talent Makers podcast, join host Micah Gebreyes, Senior Manager of Editorial Content at Greenhouse, as she sits down with hiring managers and recruiters who are changing the game in diverse and inclusive hiring.
In this episode, Micah is joined by Shelley Zalis, Founder and CEO at The Female Quotient, to discuss hiring for passion while training for skill. We’ll also talk about the importance of creating a sense of belonging for new employees and how that sets the tone for their work experience.
I want you to rise. Because when we help others, we all shine.”
Shelley Zalis
CEO at The Female Quotient
To keep top talent engaged, it’s important to create a great culture where people feel a sense of belonging and inclusion.”
