Vereinbarkeit scheitert selten am guten Willen. Häufig scheitert sie an fehlender Führungsstruktur.Viele Unternehmen wollen gute Mitarbeitende halten. Doch sobald Schwangerschaft, Elternzeit oder Rückkehr ins Spiel kommen, wird aus Retention oft Improvisation.Genau an dieser Stelle setzt Dr. Susanne Dietz an. Als Expertin für Vereinbarkeit von Familie und Beruf, Autorin, Speakerin, Coach und Beraterin bei buSINNess® MOM / buSINNess® bringt sie eine Perspektive ein, die für HR-Leader unbequem und relevant zugleich ist: Elternschaft ist kein Ausnahmefall, sondern ein planbarer Lebensphasenwechsel, den Organisationen führen müssen.Im Gespräch mit Johannes Füß zeigt Susanne, warum Vereinbarkeit klare Prozesse, definierten Kontakt und bewusstes Re-Onboarding braucht. Für HR wird daraus eine zentrale Retention-Frage.Dich erwarten folgende Themen:1) Warum Elternzeit ohne klaren Prozess schnell zum Retention-Risiko wird.2) Wie HR Führungskräfte bei Schwangerschaft und Rückkehr handlungsfähig macht.3) Weshalb Kontakt während der Elternzeit definiert und nicht zufällig sein sollte.4) Warum Rückkehr aus Elternzeit ein echtes Re-Onboarding braucht.5) Wie Teilzeitfähigkeit zur Führungs- und Organisationsfrage wird.___________Dr. Susanne Dietz freut sich über den Austausch rund um Vereinbarkeit, Elternzeit und moderne Arbeitsorganisation.Wenn du dich angesprochen fühlst, dann melde dich bei ihr auf LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-susanne-dietz-14749b19/ ___________Über unseren Host Johannes Füß:Johannes ist Senior Vice President von EGYM Wellpass, dem Marktführer für Corporate Health Benefits.

Jobs aren't changing once every few years anymore. They're evolving constantly.  Skills are shifting, AI is reshaping roles, and organizations are redefining jobs faster than traditional job architectures can keep up. At the same time, Talent Acquisition and Compensation teams often evaluate talent through different lenses. Recruiters are responding to hiring realities and candidate expectations, while Compensation is balancing market data, internal equity, and long-term pay strategy.  In this episode, we explore how these two functions can stop speaking different languages and start working from the same playbook. We'll discuss what alignment looks like in practice, how organizations can create a shared understanding of talent and market value, and why stronger collaboration leads to better hiring decisions and more sustainable compensation strategies.     Host:  Ruth Thomas – Chief Compensation Strategist, Payscale     Guests:   Danielle DuBois – Director of Global Rewards, HR Technology, HR Operations & Talent Acquisition, American Dairy Queen Corporation   Michelle Antonsen – Talent Acquisition Leader, American Dairy Queen Corporation   Join us for our upcoming live events to get your questions answered in real time by compensation experts and earn HRCI and SHRM recertification credits: https://www.payscale.com/events

Will AI replace recruiters, or will it make the best recruiters even more valuable?In this episode of Success Leaves Clues, Robin and Al sit down with Andrew Tai, Co-Founder at Deeply Talented and creator of Detra, an AI recruiting teammate helping enterprise recruiting teams work more efficiently without losing the human connection at the heart of hiring.After building, scaling, and exiting his first company, Andrew returned to entrepreneurship with a different perspective. Success, he explains, is rarely an overnight event. It is a collection of hard-earned repetitions, difficult seasons, imperfect decisions, and the willingness to keep moving when the outcome is uncertain.Andrew shares why AI will not replace the judgment, chemistry, trust, and connection required to hire great people. Instead, it can handle the repetitive work recruiters often have too little time to perform properly, from reviewing large volumes of applications to identifying qualified candidates who fall outside a rigid checklist.Whether you are a recruiter, HR leader, entrepreneur, hiring manager, or business leader navigating the future of work, this conversation offers a practical and optimistic perspective on using AI to strengthen human judgment, not replace it.You'll hear about:The leadership lesson Andrew learned after building and exiting his first companyWhy most overnight successes are actually ten-year journeys How to appreciate the good old days while you are still living them Navigating the storms and sunshine of entrepreneurship Why AI will never replace human connection in recruiting The recruiting tasks AI can perform faster and more consistently How overwhelmed recruiters can overlook excellent applicants Why rigid job requirements can eliminate people capable of doing the work How AI can help companies take a Moneyball approach to recruiting The difference between demographic bias and recruiting shorthand How AI can challenge assumptions and expose gaps in hiring criteria Why recruiters remain responsible for judgment and final decisions What Andrew learned from hiring people who did not check every box How to make peace with decisions made using the information available at the time The danger of waiting for perfect conditions before beginningWe talk about:00:00 Introduction to Andrew Tai and the future of AI in recruiting 03:00 Leadership lessons from building and exiting a company 06:23 Why most overnight successes take ten years 08:09 Surviving the storms and sunshine of entrepreneurship 10:02 Will AI replace recruiters? 13:34 Human connection as recruiting's enduring advantage 17:09 The hiring mistakes successful companies continue to make 19:00 How AI rediscovered a rejected candidate who was later hired 21:17 Why the best candidate may not meet every requirement 23:00 The Moneyball approach to finding overlooked talent 27:12 Recruiting bias, merit-based screening, and responsible AI 32:19 How an AI teammate can challenge a recruiter's assumptions 35:21 Taking chances on candidates with potential 39:43 The proverbial trees Andrew is planting through entrepreneurship 42:06 Building a company to model resilience for his daughters 43:13 Why waiting for perfect usually means never beginning 46:12 How to connect with Andrew Tai and Deeply TalentedConnect with AndrewLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ahytai/ Website: https://www.deeplytalented.com/ Connect with UsLinkedIn: Robin Bailey and Al McDonald Website: Aria Benefits and Life & Legacy Advisory Group

Hope Weatherford, VP of Talent Acquisition at Camunda, is doing what most TA leaders are still evaluating: building. In this episode, she sits down with Matt Staney to unpack how she vibe-coded her own interview question generator and JD tool with zero engineering background, why "change leadership is the job now," and how Camunda's process orchestration mindset is reshaping how her team hires. We get into over-engineering vs. first principles, the deepfake and fake-candidate problem, and the near-future where AI agents are extensions of us; applying for jobs, splitting revenue, and forcing a rethink of what "capability" even means. If you're a TA leader wondering where to start, Hope's answer is simple: just do it.

Hey there Voices of the Bench community, this is Trish Jones with Ivoclar. If you've been curious about fast-firing zirconia to improve efficiency but aren't convinced it can deliver predictable, high-quality results, I'd encourage you to connect with us. Our new IPS Emax Zirconia offers multiple fast-fire protocols designed to help save you valuable production time while maintaining consistent results. Time is money in every lab. Don't wait. Reach out to your local Ivoclar rep today and discover how IPS Emax Zirconia can help streamline your workflow. As full-arch dentistry continues to grow, so do the demands on today's dental laboratories. That's why Knight Dental recently launched SimplyARCH Studio, a dedicated production environment built exclusively for full-arch restorations. To support this specialized workflow, Knight invested in an XTCERA milling system and carefully evaluated multiple CAM software solutions before choosing hyperDENT. The decision came down to exceptional milling quality, minimal hand finishing, and impressive production efficiency. But what truly set hyperDENT apart was the implementation process. From the very beginning, the team provided more than software training—they shared the knowledge and experience needed to build an optimized workflow for complex full-arch cases. With proven expertise in advanced milling strategies and laboratory production, hyperDENT helped ensure SimplyARCH Studio was designed for long-term success from day one.Matt Everatt joins Elvis and Barb for a fascinating conversation that takes a deep dive into his journey through the dental laboratory industry and the story behind his book, The Invisible Profession. From discovering dental technology at 16 and specializing in maxillofacial prosthetics and orthodontics to working in hospitals, developing early sleep-apnea appliances, and nearly leaving the profession altogether, Matt's career has taken some seriously interesting turns. Eventually, he helped co-found S4S, building a successful business around sleep-apnea appliances, occlusal splints, orthodontics, and more before eventually stepping away from ownership. Matt Everatt joins Elvis and Barb for a fascinating conversation that takes a deep dive into his journey through the dental laboratory industry and the story behind his book, The Invisible Profession. From discovering dental technology at 16 and specializing in maxillofacial prosthetics and orthodontics to working in hospitals, developing early sleep-apnea appliances, and nearly leaving the profession altogether, Matt's career has taken some seriously interesting turns. Eventually, he helped co-found S4S, building a successful business around sleep-apnea appliances, occlusal splints, orthodontics, and more before eventually stepping away from ownership. But this conversation goes far beyond Matt's career. His book, The Invisible Profession, explores how the dental laboratory industry arrived at a place where technicians and laboratories are often undervalued, pushed into price competition, and expected to simply keep their heads down and produce. Matt shares his thoughts on the "million little things" that shaped the industry, the danger of becoming a "busy fool," and why laboratories need to stop competing solely on price and start becoming known for the value, expertise, and partnership they bring to the dental team. Elvis, Barb, and Matt also talk about the changing landscape of digital dentistry, AI, 3D printing, speed, service, and why the labs that embrace change and remain agile will be the ones positioned for the future. It's an honest, thought-provoking, and ultimately optimistic conversation about where the dental laboratory profession has been, where it is today, and where it can go next.Special Guest: Matt Everatt.

What if the biggest driver of a good patient experience has nothing to do with the patient at all — at least not at first? In this episode, Jamie sits down with four leaders behind Your Health's new Ambassador program: Rebecca Dillard (Chief Patient Experience Officer), Eddie Caldwell (VP of Talent & Workforce Strategy), Stephanie Martin (Executive Director of Employee Performance), and Whitney Myers (Executive Field Director of Patient Experience).  Together they built a 36-person volunteer network designed to move Your Health's values off the wall and into everyday conversations. •  Why colleague experience has to come before patient experience — not after it •  The five-part Ambassador framework — Observe, Encourage, Celebrate, Listen, Connect — and which piece each guest personally underestimated •  How Eddie has changed what he listens for in job interviews to hire for culture fit, not just skill •  The simple three-word question — “tell me more” — that's changing how the team listens to understand instead of listening to respond •  Why Purpose Partners, a peer-support network launched at the Ambassador retreat, is built to outlast the excitement of any single training day This is a conversation about what culture change actually requires — not slogans, but sustained, person-to-person influence. Press play to hear what a good “ordinary Tuesday” looks like when a culture initiative actually works. www.YourHealth.Org

Together they explore the rise of recruiter enablement, why AI is changing the way recruitment teams operate, and what the recruiter of the future might look like.In this episode, we discuss:What recruiter enablement is and why it's becoming a major focus for talent acquisition teams.Why recruitment has more to learn from sales enablement than most people realise.How AI should improve consistency, governance and quality, not just productivity.The hidden tasks that consume recruiters' time and how technology can remove them.Why influence, communication and consultancy will become even more valuable skills.The balance between automation and the human side of recruitment.How recruitment technology is evolving beyond point solutions into complete workflows.What recruitment leaders should be thinking about as AI continues to reshape the industry.Key takeaways:AI is most valuable when it supports recruiters, not replaces them.Recruiters create the greatest value through influence and relationships, not administration.Consistency and governance are becoming just as important as speed.The future belongs to recruiters who combine technology with human expertise.Recruiter enablement could become one of the defining trends in recruitment over the next few years.Whether you're running a recruitment agency, leading an in-house talent team or simply trying to understand where AI is taking our industry, this episode is packed with practical insights and plenty of food for thought.The Marketing Rules Podcast is sponsored by Smart Sifty⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠smartsifty.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠#MarketingRules#TheVoiceOfRecruitmentMarketing⁠To connect with Theo:⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/adamwgordon/Learn more about James and ThinkinCircles:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://thinkincircles.com/ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.themarketingrules.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

How do you build a high-performance hiring bar when you're expanding into a brand-new country with zero historical data, zero benchmarks, and limited local brand awareness?Ben Baillie-Lane knows the playbook inside out. Having scaled teams from 2,000 to 13,000 at Revolut before taking the reins at Mollie, Ben joins us to discuss the art of market expansion. He reveals why the biggest mistake TA leaders make when hiring for pioneering roles is over-indexing on technical skill sets, and how reversing the engineering of performance data holds the key to quality.

Today Eightfold launched its AI Candidate Agent, so I wanted to explain how the multi-agent world of HR 2030 is coming together. In this podcast I explain what Eightfold is up to and how multi-agent AI systems are now starting to sweep across talent acquisition, particularly in high-volume recruiting. And it's more complex, interesting, and valuable than you may think. This article explains the market and business case in more detail, and we encourage you to read about HR 2030 to see where this exciting world is going.

It's your weekly TA & Recruitment news blast with the Scoop from TaPod. This week we cover all kinds of angles, including the latest on WFH legislation, candidates being judged on their drink order, Fair Work laying down the law, Meta goes early… too early, strange things are afoot at Wollongong Uni, Hudson in more of a pickle, Hiring Manager disses his staff during an interview, and much more.Thanks to Indeed for partnering with us to bring you the Scoop.

On this very special episode, the team at Tapod come to you all the way from Recfest UK as we catch up with Robby Perdue - VP of Product Management at Greenhouse. A lot has been going on at Greenhouse, and we get right down and dirty with features, updates and releases. We discuss all the key issues, including the AI 'doom loop' and how technology can actually help. We discuss whether the 'new phase' of recruitment challenges are AI or human-led as well as ethical AI and we talk about some amazing new Greenhouse features - Voice AI and MCP integrations. And for this special episode we have released a video version - see comments if you want to check out our ugly mugs!Thanks to Greenhouse for your support of Tapod.

Application volumes are climbing fast, and AI has made it far easier for candidates to produce a strong-looking resume. For talent teams trying to give every candidate a fair hearing, the traditional model of recruiting is starting to break down. Some employers are now handing the first conversation to an AI voice agent, and that raises some obvious concerns. Does automating the first step strip out the human connection that recruiting depends on? The teams doing this well are finding the answer isn't what a lot of recruiters expect, and that getting it right depends as much on how openly it's done as on the technology itself. So what does it look like in practice? My guests this week are Jean-Baptiste Anne, Global Director of Talent Acquisition at Mirakl, and Anneliese Muscari, their Head of AMER and Global Go To Market talent acquisition. In our conversation, they share why they made the change, how candidates have responded, and what it means for the future of the recruiter role In the interview, we discuss: Managing unprecedented application volume The growing limitations of resumes How do you give every applicant a fair chance and a great candidate experience? Handing the first conversation to an AI voice agent Moving from skepticism to trust Publishing AI guidelines for candidates How candidates have responded Keeping humans in charge of every decision What does the future look like?

Over the last year, I have been using AI to develop a searchable archive of the content in every episode of Recruiting Future, 3 million words from over a decade of unscripted conversations with practitioners and thought leaders across talent acquisition. James Whitelock, host of The Marketing Rules Podcast, has been doing the same thing with his own archive of more than 200 episodes over seven years.  Between us, we now have over a thousand real conversations we can interrogate for trends, and the picture that emerges is an industry caught in familiar tensions: fighting to prove its strategic value, grappling with AI that moves faster than it can be adopted, and trying to figure out which parts of hiring should stay fundamentally human.  So what do years of real conversations reveal about where talent acquisition actually stands?   In my conversation with James, we compare what our respective archives reveal about TA's shifting identity, the real pace of AI's change, and the tensions the industry keeps returning to. In the interview, we discuss: Using AI to turn podcast archives into industry intelligence TA's journey from growth engine to cost center and back again How the AI conversation has shifted over time Adaptability as the critical skill for TA Is TA becoming a marketing function? Standing out when AI content all sounds the same Ring-fencing the parts of hiring that should stay human Bias in humans and bias in AI What does the future look like?

Most companies recruit interns to take work off someone's plate. Your Health does the opposite — and it's why several of its current executives, including a Chief Information Officer, first walked in the door as interns. In this episode, Jamie sits down with Heather Bower, Director of Experiential Learning, who has taken the reins of Your Health's internship, mentorship, preceptorship, and apprenticeship programs. Heather shares how a long-standing program is being rebuilt with structure, data, and intention — organized into semester cohorts, anchored by a four-day all-company orientation, and designed so every intern owns a project with genuine stakes. In this conversation, you'll hear: Why "get interns because they're cheap" is exactly the wrong spirit — and what replaces it How one MBA intern's shadowing experience redirected him toward nursing school The "spreadsheet whisperer" intern who taught regional leadership to pull data faster What surprises interns most once they're inside healthcare: the human complexity How Your Health uses feedback loops to move interns toward roles where they'll actually shine If you're early in your career and unsure where you fit, this episode is a map to possibilities you may not know exist. Press play and rethink what an internship can really be. www.YourHealth.Org

As talent acquisition landscapes grow more complex, successful hiring is no longer just about finding great candidates, it's about building the infrastructure that allows your team to thrive. Recruitment Operations (RecOps) has evolved from a back-office support function into the critical backbone of scalable, predictable hiring. When optimized, RecOps eliminates friction, slashes tech waste, and frees up your recruiters to do what they do best: build relationships. But how do you transition from reactive firefighting to a streamlined, data-driven operation? Join us for this month's exclusive, interactive virtual roundtable designed specifically for TA leaders. We will be joined by a seasoned Recruitment Operations practitioner to pull back the curtain on how to build a world-class hiring engine. Whether you have a dedicated RecOps team or are looking to build one from scratch, you will walk away with actionable strategies to elevate your hiring function. Learn more about your ad choices.

The job market feels broken to a lot of people right now. Bonnie Dilber has a different read on it. As Senior Manager of Talent Acquisition at Zapier, she looks at hiring data for fun, and she says the problem is not that the jobs disappeared. It is that more people are competing for a pool of roles that has stayed flat, while plenty of work in trades, healthcare, and education goes unfilled. In this conversation, Bonnie and Brandon Laws get honest about what is actually happening in hiring. They cover the myths job seekers still believe, why AI-written resumes are making recruiters work harder, and how Zapier is using agentic AI interviews and automation across its process. Bonnie also shares direct advice for anyone stuck in a long search, including why your self-assessment is probably off and where the real opportunities are. If you hire people or are looking for your next role, this one is worth your time.

Aurelien Drieu is Qonto's Head of Talent Acquisition. Over the past six years, he's helped scale the company from 200 to 1,700+ employees. In this conversation, he shares how his team uses AI to move faster without trading off on quality - from automating dashboards and building in-house agents that take on repetitive but high-leverage prep work (persona finalisation, interview grids, job descriptions, case studies) to note-taking, AI interviewing tests, and testing candidates' AI fluency during the interview process. The result: a 25% productivity gain between late 2025 and Q1 2026, and a clear point of view on why the next phase of recruiting won't be won by the most automated teams, but by those that pair automation with sharper human judgment.Connect with host James Mackey on LinkedIn!

On this episode of the Insurance Coffee House, Nick Hoadley is joined by Anne Arnold, Director of Talent Acquisition at Farmers Insurance®. With a career that began in the entertainment industry before moving into agency recruiting and eventually in-house talent acquisition, Anne shares how an unexpected career move led her into a profession she has now spent more than two decades building.Anne reflects on her transition from agency recruiting into corporate talent acquisition, first helping build the function from scratch at a real estate investment trust and later joining Farmers Insurance, where she has spent the last ten years. From establishing the executive recruiting capability to leading enterprise-wide talent acquisition, she shares how her role evolved and what has kept her excited about the opportunities within the insurance industry.Nick and Anne discuss the scale and complexity of hiring across a national organisation. Despite having a lean team, Farmers hires between 4,000 and 5,000 people annually, and Anne explains the processes, discipline, and technology that allow the team to manage more than 150,000 applications each year. She discusses how technology has helped improve efficiency and candidate engagement while reinforcing her belief that recruitment remains fundamentally a human business.The conversation explores how technology is being used behind the scenes to support recruiters, automate administrative tasks, and surface highly qualified candidates more quickly. Anne explains why understanding the problem you're trying to solve matters more than adopting technology for its own sake, and why recruiters should focus on using new tools to create more time for conversations, relationships, and better candidate experiences.Nick and Anne also discuss leadership, authenticity, and building strong partnerships. Anne shares her views on hiring leaders, working with external search firms, and the importance of listening, transparency, and creating environments where people feel comfortable sharing ideas and learning from mistakes.
