Talent Makers: featuring Fran Weems and Kristin Knihnicki

In this episode, Micah Gebreyes is joined by FleishmanHillard's Francesca Weems, SVP, Director of DE&I and Global Lead of the Race & Culture Media + Platforms Team, and Kristin Knihnicki, Senior Vice President, Talent Acquisition Lead, Americas, to discuss hiring trends like “candidate ghosting” and “company catfishing.” We’ll also discuss the most effective ways to invest in and grow both candidates and employees.

Talent Makers are leaders who believe that talent is their top business priority. Rather than seeing hiring solely as the role of People teams, Talent Makers champion better hiring and strengthen DE&I across their entire organizations to achieve business success. On the Greenhouse Talent Makers podcast, join host Micah Gebreyes, Senior Manager of Editorial Content at Greenhouse, as she sits down with hiring managers and recruiters who are changing the game in diverse and inclusive hiring.
