Kevin Warsh is trying to clean up his early Fed messaging, but the bigger fight over how much the central bank should tell markets is not going away.Chuck Zodda and Mike Armstrong discuss Warsh's attempt at a soft reset, why his push to reduce Fed guidance is creating tension with financial reporters and markets, and why less direct communication could lead to more speculation about policy. They also look at Robert Half's latest hiring survey, including why employers still plan to increase hiring even as workers struggle to find the right roles, and why AI resumes are making the hiring process harder to navigate. Plus, they cover the latest twist in the Situational Awareness hedge fund story, why private assets can hide volatility until it is too late, how revenue sharing is changing college athletics, and the strange Wall Street Journal essay about phone addiction in prison.
By Doug Green “The tools now can make anyone look like a pretty attractive candidate for a job.” Recorded at ChannelCon 2026, Paul Flaharty of Robert Half joins Technology Reseller News to discuss how artificial intelligence is changing hiring for MSPs and technology providers. AI can improve efficiency, but it is also making it easier to customize resumes, exaggerate technical abilities and even create uncertainty about whether an applicant is who they claim to be. Flaharty says experienced recruiters and comprehensive screening processes are becoming increasingly important. Rather than replacing the human element in recruiting, AI has reinforced its value. Skilled recruiters can validate a candidate's identity, evaluate whether the person can perform the work and look beyond an impressive AI-generated resume. The conversation also examines how AI is affecting existing technology jobs. Flaharty says the greater risk may not be that AI eliminates a position, but that an employee is replaced by someone who knows how to use AI more effectively. Organizations are consequently moving forward with previously delayed technology projects and looking for professionals who can help develop and execute practical AI roadmaps. For MSPs, hiring is only one part of the challenge. Retaining strong technical employees requires a proactive talent strategy that includes competitive compensation, flexibility, development opportunities and a visible career path. Flaharty says an effective upskilling program can sometimes be as powerful a retention tool as compensation. Listen to the podcast to learn how MSPs can identify genuine candidates, streamline their hiring processes, develop existing employees and build teams prepared for an increasingly AI-enabled technology market.

Max Learmonth was a professional rugby player who fell into recruitment by accident. He answered one trainee ad at Robert Half, started two weeks later, and never looked back.He climbed fast. £180,000 in his first year, £300,000 in his second, then off the tools rebuilding offices for a global giant. But somewhere in the grind, he lost himself. 'I'd become an arsehole,' he says. 'A typical Wolf of Wall Street recruitment dickhead. All I cared about was what my P&L looked like.'In May 2023, with a young daughter at home, he finally made the move and started again from his kitchen table. He turned down over £500,000 of investment to keep it 100% his. The plan was narrow on purpose: finance and accounting recruitment in the North West, and nothing else.Three years on, Forge Talent is a team of 16 that did £2.4 million in net fee income last year, entirely bootstrapped, built on a single stubborn belief: relationships, not transactions.On this episode of The RAG Podcast, Max breaks down exactly how he did it, the one KPI his whole business runs on each week, and why he thinks the average recruiter is finished while the specialist is only getting started.Max is not building the biggest recruitment business in the country. He is building the most dominant finance and accounting firm the North West has ever seen, and he already has a date on the exit.The difference is that he is doing it in the open, on his own terms, with a team of 16 who all know exactly what the 10-year goal is.If you have ever wondered whether going smaller and more specific is actually the smartest way to grow in the age of AI, this episode is evidence of that idea working right now.The Season 9 finale with Max Learmonth of Forge Talent is available now.----------------------------------------------Episode Sponsor: AtlasAdmin is a massive waste of time. That's why there's Atlas, a CRM that actually understands context.Atlas captures everything you say, hear, read and write. Every interview, every client call, every LinkedIn message, email and WhatsApp, automatically. Not because you typed it up, but because Atlas was listening. Then it goes one step further and tells you the next action to take.So when you need to fill a role, People Search ranks your best candidates and tells you why, no digging required. That same memory turns your BD into a shortlist of exactly who to chase and why, so you win more clients. And when you want to see your pipeline, you just speak to your dashboards and Atlas builds the view for you in real time, tracking only what you care about.Whether you place permanent or contract, Atlas covers both. Its Contract Suite means you never chase a timesheet again, with live margin visibility across every placement. And with its new MCP and API, Atlas plugs straight into your LLMs and the rest of your stack, so the low-value admin that keeps you from billing gets done for you.This is not theory. Atlas customers are seeing 50% higher candidate response rates, a 35% increase in new clients won, 15+ hours saved every week, and monthly billings jumping by 85%. Some agencies are hitting 130% of their annual revenue target after building their business around Atlas.So if you're thinking you need to bolt AI onto your CRM, don't bother. Take a look at Atlas instead.Head to https://recruitwithatlas.com/therag/ to find out more.----------------------------------------------Episode Sponsor: HoxoEvery recruitment founder is investing in LinkedIn, but AI has turned templated posts and outreach into a commodity.

Send us Fan MailRikki Tiwari became a recruiter purely by accident. He arrived in Sydney with $500 in his pocket and no plan, having spent his early UK career on corporate sales floors, then in sales coaching and NLP training. Robert Half in Sydney threw him straight into it, and year one tested him hard even when he was doing everything right. His first major placement came from a move most recruiters avoid: meeting a client when there was no live job at all. From there it was Ourpath, then in February 2020, walking away from the corporate ladder to build ARCQ Talent, his own agency, niched into the Microsoft ecosystem across infrastructure, cloud, dev, data, security and AI/ML. Going solo meant learning the hard way that you're also the marketer, the finance department and the delivery team, and that the loneliness is real. So he built the systems and SOPs to protect his family time, while staying stubbornly human-first on the phone with clients and candidates.If you enjoyed this conversation, subscribe, share it with a recruiter mate, and leave a review to help more people find the show.

Send us Fan MailA recruiter who still loves picking up the phone after 16 years is either wired differently or has figured out something most people miss. Rav Prasad joins us to unpack how he went from selling gym memberships to thriving inside major agencies, then stepping out on his own and building Humanistics in Brisbane. Along the way we get into what the Michael Page environment demands, why standards and internal reputation can shape your career, and how those early years harden the skills that matter when markets turn. We compare agency cultures and recruitment KPIs in real terms, including what the Robert Half contracting engine feels like, why activity and connected calls change everything, and the downside of being siloed when you spot a great lead. Rav breaks down why he stayed in accounting and finance recruitment, how Brisbane has become more transactional, and why human connection is still the edge when everyone is moving fast. If you care about candidate experience, client trust, and doing business development without burning out, there are plenty of practical cues you can steal. We also go deeper on leadership and building a recruitment business. Rav shares the mistakes he regrets, why focusing on titles can pull you off track, and what “consistency” looks like day to day when you run your own desk. Then we look forward: AI in recruitment, where automation genuinely helps (admin), where it falls short (context), and why meeting people face to face still gives you information you cannot get on Teams.

The 2026 Robert Half Salary Guide reveals 95 percent of New Zealand employers extended a counteroffer to employees with external job offers in the past year. Megan Alexander from Robert Half says it's a short-term fix, as a significant percentage of employees still left within 12 months.

The AI boom is still driving investor enthusiasm, but the question is whether today's earnings growth can justify historically high valuations and whether the companies spending billions on AI infrastructure will be the ones that ultimately benefit.Mike Armstrong and Marc Fandetti break down why earnings have helped support the market, why valuations remain stretched by historical standards, and how AI-related fundraising and data center spending could ripple through bonds, labor markets, and inflation. They also discuss Robert Half's latest survey on AI in the workplace, why some companies are rehiring roles they cut too quickly, how oil prices are responding to signs of increased Hormuz traffic, and why Meta is launching a workforce academy to train electricians, HVAC technicians, and other workers needed for the data center buildout.

Widespread Distress: 59% of leaders admit to facing a "decision dilemma" (not knowing what to decide) more than once a day. (Robert Half.)Underappreciated: A 2024 survey cited by Harvard Business Review found that over half of employees feel only "somewhat valued" (46.4%) or "not valued at all" (10.7%). According to Simon's university institute of inclusive leadership, The Consistency Gap: Despite the high self-reporting, less than 25% of leaders show authenticity consistently, and only 1 in 5 (20%) are considered consistently authentic by observers. What does this tell us about workplace culture in America today? Do you often feel exhausted, overworked, and still overlooked for recognition or promotion? Or constantly juggling your responsibilities while hiding fears, insecurities, or self-doubt? These challenges aren't just frustrating; they're costing you confidence, influence, and career growth. Each day spent feeling invisible or unsupported chips away at your motivation, leaving your potential untapped and opportunities slipping away. Kurt Bush is a certified Internal Family Systems Practitioner, trauma-informed coach, and co-founder of Brimstone Coaching Group. With a background spanning corporate leadership, pastoral ministry, and coaching, Kurt helps leaders break free from self-doubt, embrace authenticity, and lead with confidence. Having overcome his own struggles with imposter syndrome, Kurt is passionate about guiding others through transformational growth and into authentic leadership. Through Brimstone's unique E + R = T approach (Encounter + Reflection = Transformation), Kurt equips individuals and teams to move from exhaustion and frustration to clarity and wholeness.

Technology hiring and consulting expert Jessica Green from Robert Half talks about what their research is showing.
At several points over the past six years, employee retention has ebbed and flowed. In part, workforce trends have been tied to the COVID-19 pandemic hastening the predominance of remote and hybrid work. And, more recently, economic uncertainty has contributed to employee sentiment. On this episode of the Journal of Accountancy podcast, two Robert Half executives discuss general hiring trends and the outlook for accounting and finance roles. Additionally, they examine the dynamics of promoting from within versus hiring externally. And, in case you missed it, news dropped on publication day that even a Hollywood director might have found interesting: ENGAGE keynote speakers were announced. What you'll learn from this episode: Why nearly 40% of employees say they plan to look for a new job in 2026 and how that compares with recent trends such as "the big stay." Some of the factors employees are considering in their decision to find work elsewhere. Steve Saah's reminder that the demand for accounting and finance professionals remains strong even as hiring managers say it's becoming more challenging to find skilled candidates. Kathy Burton's explanation for why companies should move away from thinking about "diminishing" skillsets. The importance of upskilling and reskilling and why "courageous curiosity" is a valued trait.

On the Chad & Cheese Podcast, hosts Joel Cheesman and Chad Sowash welcomed Julia Levy, a seasoned talent acquisition (TA) leader, job search strategist, HR tech advisor, and author of From Hi to Hired: Your Insider Guide to Internships. Julia, recently departed from AutoZone, shared her 25+ years of TA experience across diverse industries, including tech consulting, staffing (Robert Half), financial services (MetLife, Fiserv), and manufacturing (Comscope). She discussed navigating the complex HR tech landscape, emphasizing the importance of identifying specific organizational problems before selecting technology, rather than chasing trendy solutions at conferences like RECFEST. Julia highlighted the challenge of distinguishing genuine AI innovations from rebranded legacy systems and shared her approach to vendor due diligence, leveraging networks and customer references. Transitioning to consulting, she noted a shift from corporate constraints to a more fulfilling role, though still receiving sales pitches as if she were at AutoZone. Her book targets college students facing a tough job market, offering strategies like being a "connector" on LinkedIn, targeting company problems, and turning rejections into growth opportunities. Julia stressed the value of internships and alternative career paths in trades or growth-oriented companies like AutoZone, noting a 10-20% reduction in internship programs due to economic uncertainty.
