* Why we podcast and how podcasts fit within the world of fake news
* Thinking around marketing and recruitment
* The state of the recruitment industry, where Martin sees the industry going and the role of job boards
* Where Martin sees idibu traveling to as a technology business

Enter Stuart Bentley – Stuart Bentley is a longtime partner and collaborator with idibu – an ex-RDB employee who went on to form his own business Needlestack, a business consultancy providing value added services to clients wishing to enhance their recruitment capabilities and increase overall efficiency via appropriate recruitment technology.
Stuart is “obsessed with efficiency improvements”. He believes that technology is there to serve us – and he observes a mass of business inefficiency because people don’t spend the time, or don’t understand how to setup their systems in order to maximiser the return on their technological investments
This is why he’s had so much success in his business – he clearly addresses a pain point, and brings fresh eyes to clients who cannot see the wood from the trees.
We talk about:

* How and why to get the most out of your recruiting CRM
* The benefits of good quality data management
* GDPR and secure signing
* Contact innovations and getting the maximum out of the systems you have

You can find more out about Stuart on LinkedIn or find out more about Needlestack services on their website.
