Podcast Guesting | Schwan Stratifyr

PODCASTS

I shared hard-hitting job search strategies on the Leaderish: Leadership lessons straight up (Podcast) about why too many candidates get ignored for having generic resumes and profiles. We covered how to write authentic resumes, use measurable results and smart keywords, leverage the "Open to Work" banner effectively, and post LinkedIn insights that showcase your value to hiring managers. While these strategies aren't foolproof, they give job hunters a clear competitive edge.

I sat down with Ellie Hoekman on her The I/O Careers Podcast to discuss workforce management and career strategy, sharing insights from my journey in retail management, I/O psychology, and founding Schwan Stratifyr. We covered common mistakes I/O job seekers make (like not researching companies or asking strategic questions), how to determine accurate market value using salary tools, and the importance of focusing on company needs rather than just personal qualifications. Listen in.

I shared with David Zylstra on The Growth Shift Podcast to discuss how small businesses can access enterprise-level people operations without the enterprise costs. We covered the shift from command-and-control to empower-and-coach leadership, installing effective SOPs and onboarding processes, and using frameworks like the Covey/Eisenhower matrix to prioritize people-ops initiatives.

I joined Guillaume Jouvencel on his podcast Consulting Leaders to discuss how consultants like me can fix workforce problems and speed up hiring. I share how my approach replaces jargon and bloated decks with repeatable workflows that shorten time-to-hire and lower hidden costs. I've worked hands-on with enterprise programs (Google, Uber, Microsoft) and now I bring that rigor to SMBs, connecting strategy to the realities of staffing, coverage, compliance, and capacity.
