Contagious passion, gratitude and optimism for the future of Talent Acquisition characterize my discussion with MaryAnne Pelland, Citizens Head of TA Strategy and Services, in Episode 36.  Having studied Biology and intending to be a doctor, she morphed her passion for helping others into an early career in staffing scientific talent, then insurance, then Citizens - where she’s been making a difference for 17 years.  According to MaryAnne, a career in recruiting is "The best job there is!". We talked Customer Empathy, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, TA Tech (Note: Paradox/Olivia and OutMatch skeptics will want to hear this), Candidate Experience , and Citizen’s approach to retraining and repurposing branch banking employees during the pandemic. MaryAnne bakes practicality mixed with innovation into a fascinating TA model.  My favorite quote from our conversation: “In every opportunity, good or bad, you should reflect and think about what you gained from it. Sometimes that gain is what not to do but some of it is recognizing that you pushed yourself to do the hard and scary things.”Can you find the Easter Egg in this week’s Big Fish conversation?
