Coca-Cola Refreshments employs over 70,000 people working across their facilities operating vehicles, coolers, vending machines and beverage dispensers. We're delighted to have DJ Norman with us today.

Welcome to the special Insights: Amplified edition of TotalPicture Radio's talent acquisition channel. This is Jeremy Eskenazi, Managing Principal of Riviera Advisors. Today you'll meet DJ Norman, Group Director of Talent Acquisition at Coca-Cola Refreshments.

Why did we want to interview this talent acquisition executive?  DJ is responsible for recruitment in North America and leads a large number of managers and recruiters responsible for hiring thousands of employees every year across the US and Canada.

DJ supports multiple client groups including sales, distribution, and production operations. A major challenge of the staffing operation has been the integration of Coca-Cola Enterprises into the newly organized Coca-Cola Refreshments Organization.

I'm sure you'll gain a good deal of insight from this podcast. Enjoy!

Stay tuned... Our exclusive interview with DJ Norman will air Monday in the Insights: Amplified Talent Acquisition Channel!

Often we think that facts and intuition don't belong in the same conversation, but in reality, hard data and the "softer" side of human interaction continually come together in our decision making.  According to my guest today Karl-Heinz Oehler, Vice President, Global Talent Management of Hertz, this doesn't mean, however, that we can't apply rigor in how we evaluate all of these inputs. 

Oehler has pioneered leading-edge Global Talent Management strategies at Hertz Corporation. His responsibilities include: Talent Acquisition, Succession & High Potential Management, Performance and Career Management, Organizational Learning, Organization Development & Design, Human Capital Measurement, and HR Due Diligence and Post Merger integration.

At Hertz, Six Sigma approaches are being combined with innovation, creativity, and emotional intelligence to derive better analytics, insights and outcomes.
