TaPod - We Talk Talent

TaPod - We Talk Talent is a leading HR and recruitment podcast brand proudly ranked the number one HR & Recruitment podcast in Australia, top 10 in the UK, and in the top 50 globally, attracting listeners from 115 countries and more than 3,300 cities worldwide. Hosted by industry insiders Lauren Sharp and Craig Watson, the show explores the fast-paced, ever-evolving world of Talent Acquisition through candid conversations with in-house TA leaders, agency recruiters, industry suppliers, and experienced voices from the so-called “Agency Dark Side.” Each episode combines thought-provoking debate, occasional controversy, and light-hearted moments to demystify the hiring lifecycle and share practical insights that professionals can apply immediately. Programming spans sourcing strategies, employer branding, recruitment marketing, DEI, candidate experience, assessment, offers, onboarding, and retention, as well as operating models and technologies shaping the function, including RPO and MSP partnerships, total talent strategies, analytics, automation and AI, and the modern TA tech stack. TaPod’s audience includes HR leaders, TA executives, hiring managers, and talent technology providers who value real-world case studies, practitioner tips, and transparent conversations that elevate outcomes across permanent, contingent, and executive hiring. Beyond interviews, the hosts deliver panel discussions and event coverage to surface timely perspectives from conferences and community roundtables, helping practitioners benchmark practices and stay ahead of emerging trends. While TaPod operates as a media and community platform rather than a staffing firm, its content informs strategic decisions and everyday execution for teams across industries and company sizes. By amplifying diverse viewpoints and bringing clarity—with humor and candor—to complex topics, TaPod is shaping the voice of talent acquisition globally and strengthening the professional community that designs, delivers, and continually improves the recruitment experience.
