Speaker 1 (00:07):
Well, it's the end of the day and you are tuning in
to the last episode of the dayof HR Tech, with Ryan Leary and
Brian Fink from the TalentAcquisition Content Lounge,
which has been powered by Olioand recruiting daily, sourcing
school Right we made it.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
We made it.
You sound tired now.
We did make it.
This was a fantastic show.
I think the buzz here wasamazing and we have two special
guests here to talk about itwith.

Speaker 1 (00:35):
Yeah, two people who have truly experienced, or
helped us experience, what it'slike to be a partner.
I want to welcome Britt andAdam from Olio.

Speaker 3 (00:42):
Thank you, thank you.

Speaker 4 (00:44):
Yeah, guys, hey, I just want to say this is, I
think, my 18th HR Tech.
We were talking last night andthis has been the most fun we've
had.
I've had new guys here do thisand bringing folks from
practitioners to CEOs of otherorganizations and other partners
here, so this has been great.
Well, thank you all.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
As much as we appreciate that that's sad.
That we are part of your bestprogram.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
You know what's a really good program, adam Britt.
It's two words.
It's a really good program.
It's a really good movie, it'scalled Star Wars.

Speaker 2 (01:13):
I thought it was Adam Britt.
I thought that was the actualgame of the show.

Speaker 4 (01:17):
Adam and Britt show.

Speaker 3 (01:19):
Britt, would you see this go around, not just outside
, but the agenda that you guysput together with the amount of
speakers that came in wasamazing.
I think I saw our booth nonstop.
People were lined up wanting totalk, talk shop, talk about AI,
talk about the technologiesthey saw.
I mean it was really cool.
It was probably my 15th show atHR Tech and definitely one of

(01:44):
the funner ones, just being herewith you guys and getting to
see the many people speak aboutwhat they've seen.

Speaker 2 (01:50):
They're giving us yeti chairs.

Speaker 4 (01:52):
And we've done more podcasts in the last day than
I've done in my lifetime, soit's good.

Speaker 2 (01:57):
I saw you on another podcast.
I'm a little upset about that.

Speaker 4 (02:01):
Well, you know what are you going to do, ladies and?

Speaker 1 (02:03):
gentlemen, ryan Leary competing with one, william
Tynko, I am upset about that.

Speaker 2 (02:08):
So what have you seen ?
This is for both of you.
What have you seen on the flooror throughout the last couple
of days that has really changedwhat you are going to think
about moving forward in HR Tech?

Speaker 3 (02:20):
Well, the booths keep getting bigger.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
They do, they do and I almost think it's part of the
sales team somehow, because Ishouldn't say this on like
probably they all got the sameshit.

Speaker 3 (02:30):
They got like the lights they go around in the
marquees.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
They got lights that go around.

Speaker 2 (02:35):
TVs on this side of it, like wall TVs and all that
stuff.
I think they're pushing them togo bigger.

Speaker 3 (02:43):
Yeah, I mean, the real estate's definitely gotten
larger and you know, HR tech'sall about networking, and so
last night was a testament ofthat.
I think we hit maybe fournetworking events bounced around
and it was really cool.
We had more conversations lastnight about what people were
doing, what kind of technologiespeople were looking for at

(03:04):
those networking events, and Ithink that's a big part of HR
tech as well.

Speaker 4 (03:10):
Yeah, and I'm seeing well just what we're hearing is
a lot about, obviously, ai, alot about people, analytics,
talent inventory, skills it'sgoing to coming back into being
a hot topic and skills, not ofonly today, but what the next
skills are.
But for me, at the end of theday, it's a pretty simple
equation it's about hiring thebest people faster, cheaper and

(03:33):
of higher quality than you everdone.

Speaker 1 (03:35):
And that's what Olio does too, right?
Well?

Speaker 4 (03:37):
that's what we do.
I mean it's a simple mission.
I tell people what do you dofor life in a job.
I chase kids and chase dealsPretty simple.

Speaker 3 (03:46):
It's difficult, but that's what we do.

Speaker 4 (03:48):
And so and a recruiters has never changed
it's about quality, speed andtime.
That's it.
Well, there's actually threequality, speed, and what's the
other one cost, and so, but atOlio, that's what organizations
do Britt, put you on the spothere?

Speaker 3 (04:02):
No, I mean you nailed it.
I think we're trying to behyper focused in certain areas,
whether it's high volumerecruiting.
Definitely campus in thefinancial sector has been big
for us.
So we've.
That's an area that's notslowing down.
No, we were actually.
We were in New York last weekat Black Rock's headquarters,
which was amazing, getting tospeak there to the whole
financial sector.

(04:22):
So I think we're, you know, weare well known there.
We're well known in thefinancial services.

Speaker 2 (04:27):
We're obviously expanding more in the RPO
markets and so Talk about andthis is Adam, for you or Britt,
either Talk about where Oliogoes in the next, say, six
months, 12 months, can't goreally too far out.
But what are some of yourprospects and customers?
What should they expect?
Go ahead, adam.

Speaker 4 (04:49):
Yeah, no, I was going to say so they should expect.
I think one of our biggestfocuses is obviously candidate
experience but also recruiterexperience.
Great, and so, I think, theoverall experience from all
stakeholders involved in thehiring process.
Through our technology, whetherit's more mobile, whether it's
better UX on the backend, you'llsee that You'll see more
distributions of jobs anddifferent ways of getting the

(05:10):
jobs out there to help in thesourcing crisis that some of our
customers have today.
And then also from an AIperspective I mean, I said this
yesterday, but we've had datascientists on our staff for over
eight years now, so we'd liketo think that we were on the
leading edge of that, and sothey'll see the continued
innovation of how do you goingback to that, how do we help you
find candidates faster, cheaper, better and more diverse than

(05:33):
before?
And so and they'll see someadditional diversity tools
coming out from the product setover the next six to nine months
.

Speaker 3 (05:40):
I don't know how to follow that up.
How was the sourcing?

Speaker 2 (05:43):
crisis.
I was impressed with that.

Speaker 1 (05:45):
Okay, so wait a minute, so like you bring that
up and like I feel that becausethere are a lot of sourcers,
there are a lot of okay, sothere are a lot of sourcers out
of work.
There are more sourcers out ofwork than there are recruiters.
Recruiters are having to pickup recruiting responsibilities
and sourcing responsibilities.
How do they do more with less?
And, to your point, how do theydo it better, faster, cheaper

(06:06):
than they ever have before toshow ROI to the business?
So they're not the next head onthe chopping block.

Speaker 4 (06:12):
Yeah, I mean, if you look at what our sign says, is
data driven recruitmentautomation right, and so how can
you use automation to scale anduse AI to get to the right
people and we talked about thisyesterday.
Get back to havingconversations, right.
So to me, it's all aboutsourcing.
Yes, you got to get to thepeople, but you got to get to
have conversations, and so youuse AI to pick up the phone,
meet a person, do whatever it is, just to get in front of them

(06:34):
and have human interaction.

Speaker 3 (06:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (06:38):
Well about human interaction.
I don't think that we couldhave interacted with as many
humans as we possibly did in thepast 48 hours.
That's a lot.
This has been an exceptionalevent.
I want to thank the team atOlio for making this possible
and for putting us here on thefloor to talk to the good people
that make up the community HRtech.
Thanks so much, guys.

Speaker 3 (06:56):
Thank you, guys, thank you guys.
