Brainfood Live On Air - Ep183 - The Psychology of Recruiter Redundancy

The Psychology of Redundancy: Mental Health Tips for Recruiters Affected

 

Big Tech Winter + Economies close to recession....means redundancies for many members of our community. It's incredible that we are back here again, after the first wave of layoffs in 2019/2020, but here we are. What has been missing from the discourse is the psychological impact of redundancy, especially on the suddenness it has been happening!

 

We are going to explore:

 

- Loss of identity

- Loss of relationships & social network

- Change of pattern of behaviours

- Lack of closure

- Dangers of negativity as basis of forward relationships

- Survivor bias for those who stay

- Appropriate distance with former colleagues, bosses and reports.

 

It's going to the fascinating conversation, with recruiters who have psychology backgrounds, have experienced redundancy before in the past, and are currently in the middle of redundancy today.

 

We're with Linnea Bywall, Head of People, (Alva Labs), Kristian Bright, Recruitment Lead (Rooser), Octav Buzoianu, Lead Tech Recruiter (Snyk) & Katrina Zlateva-Bowles, Founder (PeopleHealers)
