Your August content plan + five roles worth bookmarking

We're back in your inbox with our latest updates, tidbits and insights.

This edition includes a reminder to download August's Content Calendar before the month gets away from you, a podcast with a senior Talent Acquisition leader sharing why candidate experience is employer branding's most important battleground, and a new feature that people have been requesting for years.

Grab a coffee, take five, and enjoy this fortnight's roundup.

🎀 Bringing TA and EB together

Wak Solis has spent 20+ years across banking, professional services and BPO, and she's direct: talent acquisition isn't a seat-filling function, it's a growth and advisory one.

In this episode, recorded live in Singapore, Wak makes the case for why candidate experience is employer brand's most important battleground, and how TA and EB teams can stop operating in silos.

Well worth the listen if you're on either side of that table.

Check out the full episode here, hosted by our own David Macciocca and series co-host Emma Lang.
