This week sees a first for the show, rather than me just interviewing one guest, in this episode I’m interviewing two. I recently headed down to Pepsico’s) UK offices in Reading to have a conversation with Kevin Hough), their Head of Talent Acquisition for the UK and Ireland, and Dan Fitzpatrick), Talent Acquisition Lead for PepsiCo Global Concentrate Solutions. We covered a lot of ground in our discussion and it was great to hear Kevin and Dan talk about some of the everyday realities of in house recruitment within a large corporate. In the interview we discuss: • PepsiCo’s recruiting challenges • Anticipating STEM recruitment needs • How Talent Acquisition is changing as a discipline • Is recruiting the same as marketing? • The changing skill set of the in house recruiter • Rethinking relationships with recruitment agencies • The role of technology Kevin and Dan also give us their views on the likely future for talent acquisition.
