Podcasts are definitely making a comeback, in fact, they are more popular than ever before!

As opposed to reading, they don’t require active attention to convey information, they can be played anywhere, anytime, also while engaging in other activities. Listening to podcasts can be great for your personal and professional growth and development, and you can choose from thousands of topics online in case you get bored. And most importantly, they are all free!

If you’re tired of hearing about the same old recruitment tips and tools, and wish to freshen up with new ideas, techniques and technologies, there are a bunch of great podcasts we recommend you listen to. Aside from specific recruitment-themed series, our favorites include industry-specific and tech-related podcasts. After all, a great recruiter must be well-informed and know the markets and all the positions they search for. Let’s dive in!

Technology: NPR- National Public Radio

Clockwise- Dan Moren and Mikah Sargent

Clockwise is a rapid-fire discussion of current technology issues featuring two special guests each week. All the interviewees are talented individuals in different fields of business, asked to express their opinion on certain topics.

The #SocialRecruiting Show – Katrina Collier

Social recruiting is a 21st century phenomenon, and came to life as social media began to gain popularity. Here at IseeQ we also believe in scouting connections and working from networks, so hearing about all this from a globally recognized expert in social recruitment is our dreams come true. The series unfortunately ended last October, but we recommend listening to past episodes as the topics are still relevant.

Episodes are available on all streaming platforms, including Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

IseeQ wishes you happy listening!

If you’re not into podcasts just yet, we recommend you start exploring all the possibilities online and dive right into the middle. You may find it more interesting and addicting than being attached to your screen through articles, and we hope that you’ll find joy in this form of entertainment as well. Also, as we mentioned before, besides HR and recruitment-related podcasts we recommend you to check out some shows in the domains you are searching for since credibility is the key. If you are a recruiter working on IT or business roles, as most of us here at IseeQ, check out the articles of our TechTalk series (some of them are available in podcast format too!). We wish you happy listening!
