How do we move from reactive recruiting to predictive talent acquisition? In an era where performance metrics drive every business decision, recruitment often remains stubbornly intuition-based, especially when evaluating soft skills like empathy, communication, and critical thinking. What if AI could help us predict performance before a candidate even starts? And what happens when we connect hiring decisions to actual performance outcomes, creating a feedback loop that makes recruiters smarter over time? Can technology help us understand which risks are worth taking, and which gut feelings we should trust?  My guests this week are Veronique Lacasse, Senior Manager at Bell Canada, and Stephane Rivard, Co-founder and CEO of HiringBranch. In our conversation, Veronique and Stephane walk us through Bell's integrated approach to talent acquisition, which utilizes AI assessment data on soft skills to create a predictive, performance-driven hiring system that is still very much driven by human recruiters. In the interview, we discuss: Soft skills and business performance Measuring soft skills with AI driven assessments Challenges in high-volume hiring Building a feedback loop in recruiting, onboarding, and training Showing recruiters the performance outcomes of their decisions The candidate experience Why human recruiters aren't being replaced What does the future look like? Recruiting Future helps Talent Acquisition teams drive measurable impact by developing their strategic capability in Foresight, Influence, Talent, and Technology.

Organizations face a critical AI inflection point: the pressure to implement quickly conflicts with uncertainty about the right approach. While some companies are still cautiously experimenting with basic AI tools, others have fundamentally reimagined how work gets done. What separates the companies achieving remarkable results from those stuck in endless pilots? Often, it's not the technology itself but the culture and approach to adoption. So how exactly are companies at the cutting edge getting to the cutting edge? My guest this week is Brandon Sammut, Chief People Officer at Zapier. Ever since Zapier's"CEO issued a 'Code Red" on AI back in March 2023, Zapier has been undergoing an AI transformation in every part of its business.. In our conversation, Brandon shares how their AI strategy is boosting both productivity and employee engagement, why and how every new hire must demonstrate AI fluency, and why it is critical to keep the human touch in talent acquisition and throughout the employee journey. In the interview, we discuss: Competing in an AI-first world AI is a tool, not an outcome in itself. AI in People Operations Increasing personalization and connection in talent acquisition Understanding the moments that matter Using the human touch as a competitive advantage The critical importance of psychological safety and experimentation  Why culture beats skills The four levels of fluency in Zapier's AI Fluency Framework Bias & ethics Where is AI transformation heading, and what will the future look like Recruiting Future helps Talent Acquisition teams drive measurable impact by developing strategic capability in Foresight, Influence, Talent, and Teyou'regy.

This episode is brought to you by BiOptimizers, Cozy Earth, and Fatty15. When we think about treating depression, we rarely consider exercise. Yet emerging research shows it can be a powerful tool for managing mild to moderate depression, and it works well alongside other therapies—including medication. Today's guest shares the science behind exercise and explores why more practitioners aren't incorporating it into treatment conversations. Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with Dr. Nicholas Fabiano to explore the powerful role of exercise in treating depression. Dr. Fabiano introduces the FITT protocol for prescribing exercise and sheds light on the disconnect between physicians and patients when it comes to exercise recommendations. Dhru and Dr. Fabiano also discuss how research funding can shape treatment perspectives, the benefits of combining medication with lifestyle interventions, and the emerging role of creatine in brain energy and its potential impact on depression. Dr. Fabiano emphasizes why exercise is essential for mental health and advocates for a holistic approach to treating depression—one that includes lifestyle pillars like diet and sleep. Nicholas Fabiano is a psychiatry resident and researcher at the University of Ottawa. Drawing from his personal background in weightlifting and competitive soccer, Nicholas developed a strong interest in the use of exercise as a treatment for mental disorders, particularly depression. His research focuses on the intersection of mental and physical health, with a special emphasis on lifestyle psychiatry—exploring how exercise, diet, and sleep influence mental well-being. In this episode, Dhru and Dr. Fabiano dive into: Exercise can be as effective as therapy in treating depression (00:27) The importance of finding a provider who exercises and understands its benefits (01:57) The impact of exercise on both the brain and body (04:53) The misperception that all patients want quick fixes (11:11) The side effects of medication and how lifestyle interventions can help counter them (19:18) The FITT protocol and how to prescribe it effectively (23:56) Reframing exercise as an intervention that empowers patients (31:54) Heart rate variability, and why doing what you enjoy matters (31:42) The benefits of stacking exercise with creatine (38:33) How to incorporate creatine into your diet (44:24) Exercise recommendations for beginners, family, and friends (45:02) A lifestyle protocol that can actually induce depression (49:33) Advocating for and educating the public on foundational principles (59:06) An entrepreneurial approach to solving the mental health crisis (01:03:21) How Dr. Fabiano became passionate about brain health (01:05:59) His advice for beginners and how to follow his work (01:11:27) Also mentioned in this episode: John Abramson's book - Sickening Try This: Three Super Crazy Facts about Big Pharma Study on BPA in pregnant women  For more on Dr. Fabiano, follow him on Instagram, X/Twitter, LinkedIn, and his Website.
