I’m joined by my dear friend and recruiting powerhouse Molly Anderson. She has 15 years of talent acquisition and recruiting experience and has helped build teams at places like Groupon and Lumi, and now at Mothership. We discuss how she got her start in recruiting and how her background in improv, comedy, and writing has served her in this industry. Molly highlights what leaders of small businesses can do to improve their hiring process, current trends she’s seeing in the job market, and what candidates are looking for in potential companies, regardless of the size of an organization. Molly also explains the difference between tech and non-tech recruiting and shares her top tips for people looking to hire right now. 

IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT:

• The matchmaking aspect of hiring and recruiting 
• The types of communication skills that are crucial for business leaders 
• The roles that are the hardest to fill right now 
• Why having a LinkedIn page is necessary for hiring and recruiting
• The baseline benefits that Molly is seeing most employers offer 
• Trends in remote working stipends, retirement funds, and wellness packages

ABOUT MOLLY

Molly Anderson is a badass recruiting professional who fell into recruiting completely by accident. In her 15 years of recruiting she has worked within tech and startups of all sizes, recruiting for roles from entry to VP level. Currently she works in freight tech recruiting for Mothership. The best part of her life is her two year old daughter who has no idea what recruiting is, let alone what a job is.
