Ep 28: Selection Crisis, Tactical Empathy, and Mining’s Human Future
Description
👤 Dr. Haydon Mort, Founder of Geologize
🎙️ Lindsey Schultz, CEO of MRC Recruiting
In this live Spokane episode, Lindsay and Dr. Hayden Mort dismantle hiring myths, arguing mining suffers more from narrow school targeting and poor “soft” skills than a lack of talent. Hayden shares practical, brain-based communication tactics—labeling concerns, co-creating solutions, and injecting emotion—to win social license, attract ESG capital, and improve EVP. They explore cognitive diversity and non‑traditional pathways, the dangers and promise of AI in recruiting, and why reputation drives valuation. If you lead, hire, or communicate in mining, you’ll leave with field-ready ways to humanize messaging, broaden the pipeline, and retain people without sacrificing KPIs.
Our Promise:
We aim to engage with the most creative minds in mining—from engineers and executives to environmentalists and geologists—to explore groundbreaking projects and pioneering innovations. Our discussions are designed not only to inform but to inspire action and empower our listeners to lead and innovate.
