Launching the AirSource Podcast
Every month Katharine from Sourcing Hat and Andy from Aspen In-house will be bringing you soundbites from the world of sourcing in the form of the AirSource podcast.
Look for new episodes on the second Thursday of every month. The next episode will be ready to download on 13th April.
Why should you listen?
Well, that’s simple. It’s not like it was 10 years ago – we can’t count the number of sourcers we know on our fingers anymore! There are so many talented sourcers out there and we want to chat to them. We don’t want to keep those chats a secret either. We want to share them with you on the AirSource Podcast. We’re all better at what we do when we’re connected.
So far, in episode one, we spoke to Irina Shamaeva about her new search tool, SocialList. In episode 2 we heard from Jim Stroud about Jobs on Facebook and Jeremy Roberts about the rise of AI in recruiting.
How can you get involved?
If you have a fascinating sourcing story to tell, we want you to be a guest on the show. Get in touch and we can see about getting you on air.
We also want to partner with a few select suppliers that have brilliant tools – if you think you could be one of them, let us know.
How can you listen to the AirSource Podcast?
There is a feed on the AirSource website where you can find all our podcast episodes. You can subscribe to the podcast using iTunes or SoundCloud. This makes it super easy to get new content on your mobile. You can find us on Twitter and Facebook too.
