Team TuneUp: Hidden Gems in Hiring
You have questions, we have (at least some) answers. Join us for Team TuneUp to ask any people/HR questions that are top of mind for you or your organization.
🗣️ This month:
Team Tune-up is talking about hidden gems in hiring: transferrable skillsets. This comes up in various contexts for hiring, promotions/internal transfers, reorgs, etc:
Veterans returning to the private sector
Caregivers or others returning to the workforce after a long hiatus
Career changers adapting to new industries or contexts
Employers avoiding layoffs in a reorg by reassigning duties to more needed areas
We'll talk about why nontraditional candidates are hidden gems, how to look for them, and how to onboard them to ensure you maximize their potential.
Our Team TuneUp calls are an opportunity to discuss what’s on your mind with experienced PeopleOps experts and like-minded business leaders. If you don’t have questions, come listen in and see what you pick up. All are welcome!
⁉️ What to expect:
We host these regularly. Each 45-minute session will have a main topic (this time, burnout!).
You can submit questions ahead of time or ask them during the session. As time allows, we’ll open up the space to questions unrelated to that topic - whatever is top of mind for you! We’ll provide some thoughts but also open it up to the group to share ideas and recommendations. After the session, we’ll follow up with some resources, ask for feedback, and send a link to sign up for the next call.
🎧 New in 2025:
We'll be recording these sessions, but we won't share the recording directly or in full. Instead, we plan to pull some clips into a podcast to make the conversation more accessible. If you don’t want your voice/opinions to be included in the podcast, just let us know during or shortly after the call! For any clips we do plan to include, we’ll ask how you’d like to be credited before adding them to the podcast.
🙋🏻 Who are we?
Team Tune-Up is hosted on a rotating basis by Claire Baker (of Back Office MVP), AnnE Diemer (of aedHR), Krista Lane (of Headwaters HR) and Tali Ramo (of Organize to Optimize). Our passions and experiences differ but we share overlap in People and Operational work.
🤨 Who should join?
We think this conversation is for anyone who is involved in the hiring process! But especially...
✅ HR leaders who strategize their org’s hiring and restructuring
✅ Employees who participate in the hiring process (interviewers, hiring managers, etc)
✅ Managers who want to support their direct reports
✅ Leaders who value including new perspectives on their teams
