The Greenhouse podcast: Talent Makers, featuring Judy Jackson and Tyler DeBoard
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 Judy Jackson, President at JLC Ventures and Former Head of Culture and Engagement at WPP, and Tyler DeBoard, Global Director, Talent Partnerships at WPP and Partner, Allies in Recruiting. You’ll learn about the positive effects of workplace representation, not only on employees’ work lives, but on their whole selves. We’ll also talk about how to build DE&I hiring programs with lasting impact.
It fills my heart and soul to make life better for someone else in a meaningful way.”
