The HR community is full of amazingly talented individuals, and the podcast scene is a vibrant source for sharing expertise and talking about the latest trends in the space. With colorful hosts, some totally bad*ss names, and fun formats, the HR tech podcasting world is a shining example of inclusivity and passion. From the latest technologies helping people leaders drive hiring, cultural alignment, and recruiting, to serious conversations about Diversity, Equity and Inclusion and bias, the following podcasts make my Top 10 HR Tech Podcasting list (in no particular order, and this list is not exhaustive).

The Recruiting Daily Podcast with William Tincup – Recruiting Daily has several podcasts, but William Tincup’s podcast (I told you there would be bad*ss names) gives leaders at HR tech companies a chance to shine. If you’re wondering how the latest technology applies to recruiting professionals, these 30-minute podcasts offer a fanastic glimpse into the impact technology is having on the profession.

  2. HR Tech GTM with EJ Lawless – Yet another bad*ss host name. EJ is the head of performance marketing at Indeed.com and launched this new podcast last year. He’s passionate about the intersection of HR tech, the work place and go-to-market strategies. He’s had great discussions with guests about talent acquisition tools and software, the work revolution, building community and more.

  3. HR Famous with Madeline Laurano, Jessica Lee and Tim Sackett – This podcast feels like hanging out with old friends. While they don’t often have guests, the podcast tackles an eclectic range of topics that are not all HR (for example, they can be talking about ghosting new hires and then jump into what it’s like to hire reality TV stars). This mix is pure fun.
