How To Build A Talent Ecosystem
Moving to a new place can be a thrill a minute and completely daunting. As a person working to attract talent to your community, it is essential to make the process as easy as possible - from helping someone identify a community that suits their needs down to recommending your favorite place to get pierogi’s for lunch.
But you can’t do it alone.
I assure you, dear reader, you. cannot. do. it. alone. I know you’re going to try because you’re an overachieving, smart, beautiful musk ox. But please. For all that is good in the world… ask for help!
From Fargo to Cleveland: Why the 2025 Talent Attraction Summit Should Be on Your Calendar
Hosting the RoleCall Talent Attraction Summit last year in my community was a true highlight of the summer. For five days, I experienced RoleCall’s value of Joy as the talent attraction community came to Fargo.
Starting our mornings at The Jasper, exploring downtown Fargo in the afternoons, and introducing friends and clients from across the country to my favorite restaurants, coffee shops, and stores made it an unforgettable experience. Even better, my colleagues got to see firsthand the place that’s a big part of who I am.
Gratitude Across the Map: Celebrating What Makes Our Communities Shine
As Thanksgiving approaches, the RoleCall team is taking a moment to reflect on the many things we're grateful for—not just as a team but as individuals scattered across diverse communities. Being a remote team, we each bring unique perspectives from our corners of the country. We're all passionate about connecting talent with opportunities in thriving places, and we believe that appreciation starts right at home.
Your City’s Soundtrack Could Be a Magnet for Growth
I spent much of my youth hovering over my tape player as I recorded TLC’s “Waterfalls” every time it came on the radio. Fast forward to high school, and for every sentimental occasion or relationship I entered, I made mix CD after mix CD to express myself. Music has a way of shaping our emotional lives, and putting words and chords to the feelings, swirling inside of us.
This summer, while driving through rural Ohio with my daughter in the backseat, windows down, a song from the Garden State soundtrack transported me straight back to 2003. That was the year I was burning endless mix CDs to tell a high school boyfriend how I felt, carefully balancing indie gems with classic clichés. When "New Slang" by The Shins came on, I was reminded how a song can instantly take you back in time and shape the way you feel about a place.
My Takeaways (Salt LakeAways?) From #ACCE2023
As always, the ACCE’s annual convention exceeded my (already very high) expectations. Every year, I come back to my desk energized, impressed, and unequivocally confident that our industry is moving forward in bold ways. This year was no different, in fact, we’re all moving together faster and bolder than ever before.
