We’ve made the business case for the unemployed and helped to further humanize brands. The growing space in between elevates employee and employer to better see into each other’s yard. The Internet’s collaborative inter-connectivity empowers us all to own our online presence, our personal branding , our development, our successes, and our painful failures. And own them we must. This goes for professionals and the enterprise.
This new level of social transparency presents a peer-vetted playing field unprecedented in the world of work. We continue to learn from one another, mentor one another, give it to each other straight whether we live in the same town our across the globe — especially about professonal development and career decisions. Inject a little branded entertainment and you’ve potentially got something crazy good on your hands.
Or more precisely, something crazy good on your computer screen. Queue the wildly popular recruiting show called “Top Recruiter, The Competition Miami ” reality show. Creator and executive producer Chris LaVoie brought together savvy recruiter pros and pitted them against one another with a variety of talent acquisition tasks, all in the name of helping professionals find promising employment. Mix in HR and recruiting thought-leader judges along with some melodramatic moments, and you’ve got a hit with season 1. (He’s working on season 2 now.)
Listen to the #TChat Radio show This week on TalentCulture’s #TChat Radio and Twitter #TChat, we’re going to discuss the good and the bad of putting such an important topic under the hyper-reality TV camera lens.
This week’s theme is world of work transparency and branded entertainment. Following are our very special guests:

And here are this week’s questions:
Q1 : The level of transparency for job candidates, employees and employers is higher than ever. Good or bad? Why or why not?
Q2 : Does the world of work need a reality-based TV show? Why or why not?
Q3 : Do we really live in an online peer-vetted playing field? Why or why not?
Q4 : Should we film our daily body of work? What other technologies should we use to empower our personal and corporate brands?
Q5 : What should business leaders do to better improve the recruiting process and the candidate experience?
