Everyone is talking about how we’re facing a talent shortage in the minerals industry, so I sat down with Jon Taylor of Discovery Group, which specialises in technical and executive mining recruitment, to hear about the trends he’s seeing.
Jon discusses how to sell yourself and improve your CV, whether you should include a photo, the influence of AI in recruitment, and misconceptions about recruiters.
Measured is RSC’s podcast series, with RSC Managing Director and Principal Consultant René Sterk conversing with a range of industry personalities. Expect a range of talking points, many with a technical theme, but also some of our industry friends sharing anecdotes about their career in the mineral exploration and mining sector and thoughts on some of the issues the industry faces.
Please enjoy, and don't forget to follow RSC on all our social media platforms!
