We scroll through social media, send quick texts, and attend virtual meetings, but how often do we truly connect with others? One answer lies in a skill we often overlook: empathy. Empathy is the ability to understand and share another personโs perspective. Itโs the cornerstone of human connection, allowing us to build meaningful relationships both personally and professionally. We were fortunate to have Mimi Nicklin join us last year to talk about empathy, a skill that matters not only in the workplace but also in tackling global challenges.

In 2012, when Adaptive was first established, we all fit in a room, so fostering relationships and cultivating shared values came naturally. Now, 13 years later, weโre a global company with offices in Barcelona, London, Manila, Montreal, and New York and count a few hundred people globally. Writing things down as we continue to expand helps us preserve those values and serves as a guiding principle for our work and interactions. ๐ Read the full blog below: https://weareadaptive.com/life-at-adaptive/adaptives-core-values/

In part one of our two-part blog series, Marie Downes, Chief Talent Officer at Adaptive, explores: โช๏ธThe impact of mental health on individuals and teams โช๏ธHow open cultures and safe spaces for honest conversation can break stigma โช๏ธ Small, actionable changes we can all make to support one another At Adaptive, weโre committed to building a workplace where people feel safe to speak up and supported when they do. ๐ Read the full blog:

Why Is the Initial Call with the Recruitment Team so Important? โWhy should I speak with you? Youโre not even technical; youโre HR.โ If youโve ever thought the initial call with the recruitment team isnโt necessary, itโs time to set the record straight. First, letโs clarify a common misconception: recruiters are not HR. While HR focuses on maintaining a healthy work environment and ensuring organizational compliance, Talent Acquisition is dedicated to finding and securing top talent and, most importantly, providing the best recruitment experience ever. Our expertise lies in understanding the job market, evaluating candidates, and ensuring a perfect fit between you and Adaptive. As talent acquisition specialists, our role is pivotal in the hiring process. We work closely with technical teams and hiring managers to grasp the nuances of each role. Although we may not write code daily, rest assured that we know what we are talking about. Letโs be honest: no one knows everything. If we did, weโd be coding, testing, managing projects, and moreโall at once! Now that weโve cleared this up, letโs delve into why your conversation during the initial call with the recruitment team is crucial and how itโs about more than just your technical skills.
