FULL TRANSCRIPT

00:00:14 :06 – 00:00:22 :28

Good morning and welcome to HR Tech Weekly, One Step Closer with Stacey Harris and John Sumser. Good morning Stacey. How are you?

00:00:22 :28 – 00:00:41 :28

I’m doing well John. It’s a good morning here in North Carolina. We are enjoying a beautiful sort of mixed rain Sunny on the same day with the kind of a thing for North Carolina but it is hot and muggy and that is what it usually is this time of year. So I can’t complain because it’s nice and warm in the winter too. How about you?

00:00:42 :00 – 00:00:45 :16

Well you look at that and tell it Lake sounds like the recipe for rainbows.

00:00:46 :00 – 00:00:47 :22

Yes it does. Exactly.

00:00:48 :09 – 00:00:49 :27

You know that would be great.

00:00:50 :09 – 00:01:25 :22

I am in Park City Utah and I’ve had a weak of conference hopping I started at something called Mind the Product which is a bunch of product managers told in San Francisco that the company that does it has product management conferences in London San Francisco and shoot for good. So they are sort of the hub of a large community. Product managers. And that was pretty interesting largely because I took that discipline, product management, is probably coming to H.R.

00:01:25 :29 – 00:01:50 :01

Fairly quickly. And then the last couple days I’ve been in Park City at the PlanSource Users’ Conference. PlanSource is a benefits platform that allows brokers and companies and the people that they support to interact with eachother in order to give people better choice and utilization benefits. So, it’s been an interesting week.

00:01:50 :07 – 00:02:02 :14

Definitely. Park City Utah is not a you know a lot of time out there so there’s a good chance to be in a new area and to learn about benefits. We talk a lot about benefits. Last thing it is a hot topic it seems in the market.

00:02:02 :14 – 00:02:06 :03

So hopefully I don’t like bring us some interesting insight from the conference that they

00:02:07 :29 – 00:02:26 :16

mentioned it’s been very virgins and you know I was born in Utah but I was born a little protein below 30 days before and was only here for six weeks. Never saw the food should go until I was 40 and I’ve never been in the mountains which is it’s a a route.

00:02:27 :14 – 00:02:58 :26

Beautiful scenery and I think I’ve only been to Salt Lake. I guess that’s probably it. Now that I’m thinking about it though you will have been more than probably most. We also have a couple of interesting news announcements this week some fun ones as well as some that I think are kind of interesting as the market is shifting around what’s happening in recruiting. We had actually happened last week. We didn’t catch it in the news run but mainly appointed a friend of I think a lot of people in the industry and our friend Larry Donovan as the new CEO namely he’s been struggling a bit. They’ve

00:02:58 :26 – 00:03:31 :10

They’ve they’ve started out with some great Wow marketing and then I think they sort of we’re trying to figure out where they were going from their meandering a little bit and picking up Larry Donovan as a new CEO is probably going to be really interesting. We also have this week PMP worldwide acquiring Korengal I’m not sure I’m saying that correctly a programmatic recruitment application. And then just the merely alm
