NEW YORK, Oct. 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Greenhouse, the hiring software company, has launched its "Talent Makers" podcast today. Hosted by Micah Gebreyes, this 8-episode podcast series celebrates the relationship between hiring managers and recruiters while highlighting the importance of DE&I across the candidate and business experience.

The new podcast series features Talent Makers – 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.

Listeners can expect to hear from hiring managers and recruiters at global companies such Adobe, Upwork, LifeLabs Learning, OPMG, WPP and more, who will share powerful first-hand experiences and receive advice on how to create access to opportunities for candidates from all walks of life. From actionable ways to advance fair and equitable hiring to strategies that equip teams to build more inclusive teams, listeners will gain knowledge on ways to champion better hiring and drive their businesses forward toward sustained success.

Topics covered in the series include:

Inspiring stories of how hiring managers and recruiters work together to put people first
How to give candidates a more positive and inclusive hiring experience
Challenges and solutions when implementing hiring change management
How to create more access to employment opportunities for candidates

"In order to find, attract and hire great people, hiring managers and recruiters need to work together to build effective DE&I hiring processes," said Micah Gebreyes, Senior Manager of Editorial Content at Greenhouse. "This podcast aims to shine a light on the shift happening in hiring – that it's no longer the sole responsibility of People teams. Hearing directly from Talent Makers and the positive impact that more inclusive hiring has on their businesses is proof that people are a company's most important asset."
