We believe that the potential for people to do something amazing has everything to do with being in the right role, on the right team, at the right time. On the Greenhouse What's your why? podcast, we're celebrating recruiters – individuals who are dedicated every day to helping others unlock that potential. Listen as Ariana Moon, Director of Talent Acquisition at Greenhouse, sits down with talent professionals to discover their motivation, inspiration and journey through today's world of work.
In this episode, Ariana Moon talks to Brandi Bergstrom, the Head of Talent at Heartex. They chat about the ethical role of talent acquisition, culture add vs culture fit and the ways in which her “why” has evolved over time.
When you find a great candidate but the timing is off, keep them in your sights – you never know when they might be ready to have another conversation.”
