HR.Salon Podcast
The salons of 17th and 18th century Europe emerged as intimate gatherings of diverse thinkers who exchanged ideas freely outside the constraints of formal institutions and hierarchies.
HR.Salon carries this tradition into our modern professional context. Just as historical salons fostered movements that shaped culture and politics, we believe our conversations can meaningfully influence the evolution of workplace practices and human resources philosophy.
Join host Andrew Biernat as we explore the future of work, innovative organizational practices, and HR strategies you can apply today.

Stop Waiting for the Unicorn with guest Alyssa Wrobel E3 HR.Salon Podcast
In this episode of HR.Salon, Andrew sits down with Alyssa Wroble, Recruiting and Onboarding Specialist at Quality Vision International, to unpack what it really takes to hire and retain great people in 2026. From navigating layoffs and shifting candidate priorities to mastering the art of consistent employer branding, Alyssa shares practical insights from the frontlines of recruiting in a market that’s equal parts cautious and competitive.
In this episode, you'll learn:
- Why candidates crave growth and stability—and how to design roles that actually deliver both.
- How to use hiring tools without losing your human judgment, and the one story that proves data is never the full picture.
- The secret to standing out at job fairs and online: market your company like you’re recruiting future fans, not just employees.
As recruiters and HR teams adapt to a shrinking pipeline and changing workforce values, the winners will be those who stay creative, curious, and connected to what people truly want from work. It’s not just about filling roles—it’s about telling the right story, to the right people, at the right time.
