À propos de cet audio

 Brandon Jeffs isn't your average recruiter. He's the founder of Building the Talent Machine, a content studio serving the recruiting tech industry, and he's built his brand on storytelling, authenticity, and refusing to blend into the beige corporate landscape. This conversation cuts through the usual conference BS and gets real about what it takes to stand out in recruiting today: humor, intentionality, and understanding your why. In this episode we talk about RecFest experiences, the power of personality in recruiting, and why authenticity beats polish every time. You'll hear Brandon's journey from working in homeless shelters to building a recruiting career that blends content creation, executive search, and storytelling. We dig into how humor functions as strategy, brand amplification, and rebellion against the boring status quo. Brandon shares hard-won lessons about building community, leveraging content for business development, and why asking "why do you recruit?" might be the most important question you answer today. KEY TAKEAWAYS: ➡ Brandon runs Building the Talent Machine as both a podcast and a content studio that services the recruiting technology industry while doing executive search work. ➡ Shally's show has reached 312 episodes with 173 unique guests and over 24,000 total views without any intentional self-promotion strategy. ➡ RecFest brings together 3,000+ recruiters in Austin for networking, learning, and building community in ways traditional conferences can't match. ➡ Humor in recruiting serves triple duty: it's a recruiting strategy, a brand amplifier, and an act of rebellion against corporate blandness. ➡ Brandon built his entire recruiting career thanks to one recruiter who gave him an opportunity when he was living paycheck to paycheck working at a homeless shelter. ➡ Authenticity beats perfection: showing up in tie-dye and cowboy boots at HR Tech is memorable brand building, not career suicide. ➡ Content creation for recruiters isn't about going viral. It's about building genuine relationships and creating value for your specific community. ➡ The most important question recruiters should ask themselves daily: "Why do I do this?" Knowing your why changes everything about how you recruit.
