In this episode, you'll learn key strategies for effective talent acquisition from organizational psychologist Tom Skiba, VP of Talent Strategy at Redesign Health. Discover how to set a high bar for hiring, challenge candidates with job-relevant tasks, and create a vision for roles that inspire trust and success in your team.

• Importance of Trust in Leadership: Trust in leadership is crucial for employees to feel secure and valued in the workplace. Leaders need to provide confirmation and recognition to instill trust in their team members.
• Challenges of Complexity in the Workplace: Managing complexity in the workplace requires a shift from stable roles to dynamic team structures that can adapt to changing priorities and demands.
• Transactional Nature of Work: The trend towards more transactional work relationships can impact trust and motivation in the workplace, leading to a focus on specific tasks and outcomes rather than broader purpose.
• Fractional Talent Trend: The rise of fractional roles presents opportunities for flexible work arrangements but can also impact organizational trust and collaboration.
• Purpose and Meaning in Work: Employees seek meaning and purpose in their work beyond just social justice initiatives, looking for tasks that provide impact and recognition.
• Vision for Roles and Teams: Having a clear vision for roles and teams helps set a high bar for performance, aligns expectations, and fosters trust and motivation among team members.
• Challenging Candidates in the Hiring Process: Challenging candidates with tasks related to the job during the hiring process can provide valuable insights into their capabilities and motivation, setting a high standard for performance.
• Fair and Challenging Candidate Experience: Providing a fair and challenging candidate experience, where all candidates are tested on relevant job tasks, can enhance the selection process and ensure a high-quality hire.
