This week on Tapod, we catch up with Appy Sarepaka National Talent Acquisition Manager at MSS Security – with the parent group sitting in the top 40 (by volume) employers across Australia.

Appy has led some amazing initiatives at MSS Security, including growing the TA team from 2 to 20 over the past 2 years (with approximately 2,000 hires a year), decreasing time to hire from 24 days to 10, navigating the complicated world of compliance and background checking in the world of security, DE&I programs, and the changing world of recruitment. Join us as we unpack all of these issues with Appy.

Thanks to PeopleOrbitAI for partnering with us this month.
