Make EVP your MVP with Roselle from Fanployer
My guest on today's podcast is Roselle de Kruijk (https://www.linkedin.com/in/roselledekruijk/), the Country Director of Fanployer (https://fanployer.com/). Roselle's ideas (and Fanployer's) align very strongly with my own, to build the best company, you need the best people. Part of this is EVP and employer branding, and we dive into both on the podcast. If you've been thinking about your talent branding, and what candidates think of your business as a potential place to work, this is the episode for you. I know that EVP is a hot topic for my clients, so if you'd like to connect with me and learn more about EVP, Fanployer, or Rosewood Partners, you can find me on LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnvannoorden/) or on the Rosewood Partners website (https://rosewoodpartners.co/) or email (mailto:podcast@rosewoodpartners.com.au). Thanks for listening. john@rosewoodpartners.com.au

A great culture is deliberate with Chris Aitchson from Up Bank
My guest on today's podcast is Chris Aitchson, the CTO of Ferocia and Up Bank. I was lucky enough to visit Chris in the Up Bank offices and I quickly understood what he meant by the line “culture is expensive”. He doesn’t just mean fancy offices and a great coffee machine (which they do have), but it's clear that a culture requires real investment, and a deliberate focus from leadership. We dive into this, as well as ways to build good team balance in the tech space, and how to get great outcomes by maximising autonomy. If you'd like to connect with me and learn more about Rosewood Partners or provide some feedback on the show, you can find me on LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnvannoorden/) or on the Rosewood Partners website (https://rosewoodpartners.co/) or email (mailto:podcast@rosewoodpartners.com.au).

Tracey is someone who has worked up through different roles in IT and technology, and has built great networks to help her grow and solve problems.

Hire then providing direction and accountability with John Taylor
John Taylor (https://www.linkedin.com/in/johngtaylor/) is the former Chief Information Officer at MedHealth, having previously held key leadership roles at AGL, PwC, British American Tobacco, IBM, and IAG. This makes him as well-placed as any to discuss hiring in the technology sector. Although the conversation is centred around hiring, what's clearest to me is the important role that good leadership plays ultimately making those hires' success once they start. This pairs well with the Scott Wall episode, as they are both centred around hiring in the technology sector. If you'd like to connect with me and learn more about Rosewood Partners or provide some feedback on the show, you can find me on LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnvannoorden/) or on the Rosewood Partners website (https://rosewoodpartners.co/) or email (mailto:podcast@rosewoodpartners.com.au). Thanks for listening.

Overcoming barriers for hiring migrants with Pan Perera
Pan Perera (https://www.linkedin.com/in/panperera/) founded of Elevar Career Coaching (https://www.elevardigital.com/) with his passion to help international graduates and skilled migrants to land the jobs that they deserve and pursue their dream careers. His passion for helping people find their dream careers and helping businesses to hire great people overlap a lot with mine, and I've learnt a lot just following Pan on LinkedIn (I highly recommend following him if you're in recruitment). In this episode, we dive into the challenges that migrants face when trying to enter the Australian workforce without local experience, the office-culture differences that migrants need to be aware of and businesses should be assisting with, and why businesses should be making it a priority to get this part of hiring right (diversity leads to better business outcomes). If you'd like to connect with me and learn more about Rosewood Partners or provide some feedback on the show, you can find me on LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnvannoorden/) or on the Rosewood Partners website (https://rosewoodpartners.co/) or email (mailto:podcast@rosewoodpartners.com.au).

Scott has 30 years’ experience as a technology leader, having held the roles of Chief Information Officer, Chief Digital and Data Officer, and Chief Technology Officer along the journey. In this episode we dive into "role fit" and the addition of psychometric testing to get to the heart of it, and more.

Global hiring and ways to enable it with Matt McFarlane from Oyster
With the shift to hybrid and remote work and the ongoing difficulties with hiring excellent people, it's more relevant than ever to not just consider when you should hire, but where.

Matt is an expert in working within, hiring for, and fairly paying a globally distributed workforce.

Hire great people and get out of their way with Peter van Noorden
It felt strange asking Peter van Noorden, aka my dad, to join me on a podcast, but I knew it would be worth it as his views on talent and working with great people have greatly shaped mine. Peter was the Managing Director of Oxford University Press (https://www.oup.com.au/) in Australia (https://www.envirodna.com/), a post that he held for over 10 years, and a place where he could drive a lot of change and hire a lot of great people. Peter's has always found a way to be incredibly passionate about the work he's doing, and encourages others to find a career where it's easy to be passionate about your work. I asked him to join me on this podcast to explore that focus on passion further, as well as to understand that clear message to “hire great people and get out of their way” that's always ringing in my head. If you'd like to connect with me and learn more about Rosewood Partners or provide some feedback on the show, you can find me on LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnvannoorden/) or on the Rosewood Partners website (https://rosewoodpartners.co/) or email (mailto:podcast@rosewoodpartners.com.au).

A Passion for People - hiring for a niche business and de-risking the process with Helen Barclay
I'm one of the very lucky people who are friends with the amazing Helen Barclay. Helen is the Managing Director of EnviroDNA (https://www.envirodna.com/), a business where she can positively impact environments, people and the bottom line. Helen's experience at EnviroDNA's sister company, Cesar Australia, built her foundation for applying business and science for conservation purposes. She has worked with Australia’s leading innovation consultancy, Inventium, where she helped hundreds of people and organisations improve through creativity and innovation. Helen's natural inclination towards people is one of the major reasons I wanted to do this podcast with her. She thinks about great people and hiring a lot, and I really enjoyed the chance to deep dive into how she's managed to build a great team in a smaller niche business. If you'd like to connect with me and learn more about Rosewood Partners or provide some feedback on the show, you can find me on LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnvannoorden/) or on the Rosewood Partners website (https://rosewoodpartners.co/) or email (mailto:podcast@rosewoodpartners.com.au).
