My guest today is, Ryan Ayres. He may not be the patron saint of recruitment, but I can tell you first hand…he is a saint. Having worked along side him for a full year, he had good, bad, horrific and glorious days. Regardless and whatever the mood of the office or the tone of the client, Ryan’s...

The Accidental Occupation - Sara Cooper
Before I announce my guest today, I need to tell you all that this podcast is two weeks late for delivery. My apologies. If I’m not sounding 100%, it’s because I’m coming off a two-week flu followed by a lovely little bout of tonsillitis. Silver linings…I’m down 10 lbs and I’ll take it! Ok, back…

The Accidental Occupation - Jeff Lazenby
My guest today is, Jeff Lazenby - Senior Director, Client Services at Career Edge Organization, Canada’s largest provider of paid internships. So, let’s get it out there…I was instrumental in Jeff getting that job. And, as Talent Acquisition professionals most of us have been fortunate to have...
-
The Accidental Occupation - Marlene Mortensen
My guest today is, Mortensen, but before I get into it I must make reparations. You see, in Shawn Park’s episode, I stated that I’d known Shawn as long as anyone in the industry and in writing this bio it dawned on me that, that isn’t exactly true. That honor belongs to Marlene! I actually...
-
The Accidental Occupation - Ryan Atkinson
My guest today is, Ryan Atkinson, President of Direqlink, an on-demand recruitment platform that delivers top talent while saving employers time and money on their external recruitment costs. Now you might say, “Jesse, how much did Ryan pay you to say that?!” and that would be fair, but the…

The Accidental Occupation - Nigel Pena
My guest today is, Nigel Pena, whom I hereby name, The Unsung Hero of Corporate Recruitment. I’ll qualify that momentarily. In addition to being unsung, he is reluctant. Don’t get me wrong, if you look for him, you will find him. But where you will not find him is blogging, sharing the newest...
-
The Accidental Occupation - Valerie Khan
My guest today is, Valerie Khan. Valerie and I go back a good long while, let’s call it an even decade to be fair. I’ve followed her career closely over the years because even on paper anyone can see it’s been far from dull. But as you will hear shortly and not to give too much away, Valerie is a...
-
The Accidental Occupation - Maureen Carroll
My guest today is, Maureen Carroll and the conversation you’re about to listen to was fantastic and there is some really great stuff in this episode but for me, this episode was so much more. Our subscriber base is growing rapidly at this point and advertisers and sponsors are finding value in…

The Accidental Occupation - John Dawson
Welcome to the podcast everyone! We took a good long break over the holidays, but due to listener demand, WE ARE BACK! And I knew that upon return we would need to bring you an episode that packs a real punch! So, have I got the ticket for you! My guest today is, John Dawson and ladies and...
-
The Accidental Occupation - Shawn Park
My guest today is, Shawn Park. While I have valuable relationships with all of my previous guests, Shawn is different. He’s my brother from another mother, professionally speaking that is. I’ve known Shawn as long as anyone in the industry and we have followed freakishly similar paths; having…

The Accidental Occupation - Perry Monaco
My guest today is, Perry Monaco. First off, I want to say that Perry obviously knows a good thing when he hears it, as he was one of The Accidental Occupations’ very first “followers”! I appreciate that, but he also one of those guys I love to hate. Why? He’s one of those guys that looks like he...
-
The Accidental Occupation - Dan Saul
My guest today is, Dan Saul. The first thing I want to say is, settle in and BUCKLE UP! Dan brought his A-Game to The Accidental Occupation! He came into the session with his adrenaline on 10, but I’m partly responsible for that. You see, I gave Dan the wrong address, which put him up against the...
-
The Accidental Occupation - Dorothy Wolentarski
My guest today is, Dorothy Wolentarski. Firstly, forgive Dorothy’s volume being low, that’s my fault. However, I would STRONGLY suggest you listen to what she has to say, and listen good! Dorothy and I worked together briefly some 15 years ago. She was and still is a lovely person, but I never...
-
The Accidental Occupation - Dana Cioffi
My guest today is, Dana Cioffi. Dana holds an early honor with the Accidental Occupation, in that she is my most blatantly passionate guest to date. Dana’s talent acquisition journey began close to 20 years ago and has weaved its way in and out of some of Canada’s best known organizations. In…

Accidental Occupation - Chris Onorato
My guest today is, Chris Onorato. I’ve known Chris a long while. If you were to meet him for the first time, you might say to yourself, “This guy is way too laid back, he can’t possibly a top corporate recruiter?” Well, you’d be wrong. Very very wrong! Not only is Chris one of the best in his...
-
Accidental Occupation - Trevor Rudd
My guest today is, Trevor Rudd. I don’t know of another recruitment professional with whom I’ve had more business interaction throughout my career. We’ve worked together on literally dozens of highly successful projects. Whenever a client had something new, my first question was always; “I hope I...
-
Accidental Occupation - Michael Lymer
Michael Lymer’s career path is one that screams humility, starting with an internship at the TTC. Stops along the way (no pun intended) include Enterprise Rent-a-car, Spherion and Adecco. Fast forward 14 years, Mike is the Director of Client Services at IQ Partners and leads a successful practice...
-
Accidental Occupation - Adam Cooper
My guest today is Adam Cooper. Adam is a really nice guy and a very good Talent Acquisition professional and leader. While many of us in the industry have a “reputation”, Adam has a genuine brand, that’s been developed through countless speaking engagements and many years of, “jobs well done”. If...

Accidental Occupation - Bruce Powell
My guest today is, Bruce Powell. For the past 15 years, Bruce has led one of Canada’s foremost staffing agencies as Managing Partner at IQ Partners, a 40 person company with a particular focus on Senior Digital Sales and Marketing roles. When Bruce enters a room, you just know it’s not going to…
