When Talent Acquisition Meets Talent Management (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Most companies keep their high-potential lists and succession plans well away from recruiters. Merck opened both. Colleen Rush is Global Head of Talent Acquisition at Merck KGaA, Darmstadt — around 11,000 hires a year across 60 countries. She joins Johnny to explain what changed when her team got access to that data, what recruiters now do with it, and the capacity, capability and internal agreement it took to get there.
A Wake-Up Call on Attention (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Johnny sits down with Mark Smith, SVP of Global Talent Acquisition at Cargill, for a conversation unlike any other on the show.

He tells Johnny why it's the lowest-risk, highest-leverage place to begin — how he ranked the recruitment process by risk, why legal and privacy were his first call rather than his last, and what changed in the hiring manager conversation once recruiters stopped taking notes.
Talent Intelligence Is Outgrowing TA (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Talent intelligence started as a side effect of sourcing. Fifteen years on, it shapes location strategy, workforce planning and M&A — and increasingly sits outside TA altogether. In this episode, Johnny is joined by Toby Culshaw of ServiceNow, founder of the Talent Intelligence Collective, to trace how the discipline grew up, how the tooling changed, and where AI genuinely helps versus where it just sounds convincing.
