Dans beaucoup d'équipes RH, on confond encore vitesse et précipitation.Et quand les ressources humaines courent partout, quand le recrutement devient une course contre la montre, quand la marque employeur se retrouve noyée sous les urgences du quotidien… l'organisation finit par s'essouffler.Dans cet épisode, je reçois Jessica Djeziri, DRH expérimentée, qui a passé 20 ans à structurer, clarifier et renforcer les fondations RH de plusieurs entreprises en croissance. Elle a connu les créations de fonction from scratch, les pressions internes, les attentes démesurées des équipes, les plans de recrutement intenables, les projets “tendance” imposés sans réflexion business… et elle a surtout appris une chose :

Et si on pensait le travail comme une expérience utilisateur ?Que vous soyez RH, recruteur, manager, parents ou entrepreneur, je décrypte le sujet pour vous.Dans cette capsule RH de 5 minutes, je vous partage mes 3 apprentissages suite à mon échange passionnant avec Carole David.

SAP's recent acquisition of SmartRecruiters has generated considerable interest across the talent acquisition community. The deal brings AI-native recruiting capabilities into a broader HR suite, creating complete visibility into data across the entire employee lifecycle. For recruiters, this means seeing what happens after a hire is made with the potential to connect talent acquisition decisions to performance, retention, and engagement outcomes. This is where AI agents become significant. When agents can access and act on a complete, harmonized data set spanning the whole employee journey, entirely new possibilities open up for how work gets done across the talent function. Yet despite the rapid pace of innovation, AI adoption is still lagging. Vendors are shipping capabilities faster than most organisations can implement them, held back by regulatory concerns, change management challenges, and uncertainty about where to start. So how can Talent leaders close this gap and take advantage of what is a huge strategic opportunity? My guest this week is Lara Albert, Chief Marketing Officer at SAP SuccessFactors. In our conversation, she discusses the SmartRecruiters acquisition, explains how agents working across the employee lifecycle could reshape HR, and shares her advice on how employers can get started. In the interview, we discuss: Why SAP acquired SmartRecruiters and what happens next Connecting recruiting data to employee outcomes Layering Agentic AI on top of people intelligence What's holding back AI adoption Regulation, change management, and mindset TA and HR have a once-in-a-career opportunity to lead transformation Business cases, buy-in, and getting started What will the future look like?

In this episode, Kortney Harmon and Chris Hesson join Benjamin Mena on The Elite Recruiter Podcast to examine how AI agents are reshaping the recruiting workflow and challenging the traditional KPIs many teams still rely on. They explore why sourcing is shifting, why volume-based activity metrics no longer reflect real performance, and how automation is redefining the recruiter's day-to-day responsibilities.Kortney and Chris break down how AI agents now support sourcing, research, data cleanup, enrichment, and workflow execution—returning hours each week while exposing the widening disconnect between legacy activity tracking and modern recruiter impact. They also discuss how measuring calls, emails, and task volume can unintentionally penalize recruiters who leverage automation effectively, and why leaders must adopt outcome-based metrics grounded in influence, advisory work, and relationship-building. The conversation highlights how living resumes, real-time data enrichment, and agent-driven workflows inside the ATS can unlock value long buried in existing databases.Listen in to explore how automation changes the work—and how humans elevate the results.________________Follow Benjamin Mena LinkedIn: LinkedIn: BenjaminBenjamin Mena with Select Source Solutions: hereThe Elite Recruiter Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theeliterecruiter/Follow Crelate on LinkedIn: CrelateWant to learn more about Crelate?

In this episode, host Brad Minton and guest Jeremy Tudor discuss the current turbulent job market, particularly for Gen Z. They explore the importance of communication skills, the need for differentiation in a competitive job landscape, and how to leverage AI responsibly in job searches. Jeremy emphasizes the significance of building skills beyond formal education and offers practical advice for navigating the complexities of career development. Key takeawaysThe job market is currently turbulent, especially for young job seekers.Communication skills are crucial for success in interviews.Many jobs are lost not due to resumes but during the interview process.Gaining skills in your twenties is essential for future career success.Demonstrating skills through actions is more impactful than listing them on a resume.Video can significantly enhance job applications and increase engagement.AI should be used as a tool to assist, not replace personal input in job applications.Job seekers should not give up on their career paths despite challenges.Career paths are often non-linear and require adaptability.Building a unique value proposition is key to standing out in a crowded job market.Guest Info: Jeremy Tudor has 16+ years of experience in Human Resources and Talent Acquisition, spanning startups, non-profits, global corporations, and government agencies.

Die Wahrheit, die viele Unternehmen verdrängen Top-Talente zu finden war noch nie so schwer – und noch nie so einfach zu verlieren. Viele Unternehmen glauben, Kandidaten springen wegen Gehalt, Aufgaben oder anderen Angeboten ab. Doch die Wahrheit ist härter: High Performer lehnen ab, weil sie sich im Gespräch nicht gesehen, nicht verstanden und nicht wertgeschätzt fühlen. In einer Zeit, in der Fachkräftemangel zur größten Wachstumsbremse wird, entscheiden kleine Signale im Interview über Sieg oder Niederlage im Recruiting. Dieses Video zeigt schonungslos ehrlich, welche Fehler starke Talente vertreiben – und wie Du Gespräche führst, die Vertrauen schaffen, Kompetenz zeigen und Bindung erzeugen. Perfekt für alle, die nicht „irgendwen“ einstellen wollen, sondern die richtigen Menschen.

AI is no longer a future concept in recruiting—it's in your applicant tracking system, your sourcing tools, and your candidate engagement platforms.

Regulations governing automated employment decisions, bias audits, and candidate data privacy are creating a complex new reality for talent acquisition teams.

The recruiting technology landscape is transforming at an unprecedented speed. AI Tools that seemed like far-fetched concepts just a few years ago are hitting the market and delivering results. But adoption is messy and uneven. Some employers are experimenting with AI-driven interviews, while others worry about bias and legal risks. High-volume recruiters are automating entire processes while executive search remains deeply human. Everyone's trying to figure out which tools actually work and how to integrate them without breaking what already exists. So how should talent acquisition leaders navigate this revolution? My guest this week is Josh Bersin, one of the world's leading HR technology analysts. In our conversation, he reveals why this transformation is inevitable and what smart TA leaders should be doing today. In the interview, we discuss: Why TA is facing a reckoning Time, resources, and human error Where AI currently has the most impact Mass personalization Regulatory risks What role should human recruiters be playing? Superworkers AI Fluency versus amount of work experience The impact on an already bloated TA Tech Stack Technology mergers and acquisitions What does the future look like?

BUDGETING FOR AN AI-ENABLED TALENT ACQUISITION FUNCTION   We're racing toward the end of the year and inevitably attention turns to plans for the future. But today we face a future which is increasingly difficult to predict and where agility, resilience and ability to quickly pivot without loss of performance are the qualities every function needs to develop to maintain value to the business. What does this mentality mean for how we allocate budget in talent acquisition? Today we're going to debate the issue with industry leaders who have experience of budget planning and have had to balance between competing priorities.   - Do we spend more on automation and less on payroll? - Do we create a buffer to spend on RPO partners who can help us scale up capacity, whilst we retain a lean permanent staff? - How about reducing payroll whilst maintaining headcount? - Do we spend on hiring entry level talent and ramp up with intensive AI upskilling? - What does the future look like in 2030 and should we start budgeting to a longer term framework? - How much recruiting work do we expect hiring managers to be doing in 2030? - Should we invest in diversification in related fields, adjacent to Talent Acquisition? - Do we go large with enterprise grade master software, or continue with a core platform + point solutions? - What about training and development? - Do we even talk about DEIB today?   All this and more as we discuss how the changing world of work, is being reflected in the changing priorities of for the talent acquisition function,   With industry heavyweights Johnny Campbell, CEO (Social Talent), Elaine Atkinson, Leadership Coach (In Wonder Coaching), Kobi Ampoma, Head of Talent Acquisition (The HEINEKEN Company) & friends,   We are on Friday 31st October, 2pm GMT follow the channel here (recommended) and save your spotfor this demo by clicking on the green button.     Ep341 is sponsored by our friends Greenhouse   It's tough out there for today's recruiting teams.   The rise of AI, slashed recruiting budgets and lean teams have made candidate funnels more chaotic than ever.

SPARK Talent saw some of the greatest minds in HR speak on the most pressing topics in the workforce. They didn't just talk theory; they handed us a playbook for the AI and outlier era: First, know exactly what work needs to change. Second, know who can lead the change. Third, design the experience that attracts them. Bertrand Dussert, VP of Talent Acquisition at Staples, detailed in his session exactly who HR needs to fill and drive these roles being transformed by technology: Talent Outliers. These are the people who don't just work within the system; they change and reframe it. After his presentation, HR Daily Advisor had the chance to sit down with Dussert and pick his brain on all things AI and talent acquisition, where he gave us a behind-the-scenes look at what he considers is the most important changes HR leaders need to be aware of.

https://staciebaird.com/the-hx-podcastIn this episode, I'm kicking off a new series that's very near and dear to my heart: talent. I was struck by a McKinsey study called "The War for Talent," published back in 1998, which happened to be the first year I was in recruiting. Reading it again, I was shocked to realize that the core challenges it identified; a shortage of leadership talent, a lack of manager accountability for developing people, and the need for a compelling employee value proposition - are issues we are still grappling with today, perhaps more acutely than ever. It really made me ask, why are we still hiring like it's 1998? This realization is why I'm launching this series. We're going to dig into what it truly means to attract, develop, and retain people in 2025 and beyond. We'll question everything, from legacy practices like requiring a bachelor's degree for every job posting to how we can elevate the human experience for candidates in an era dominated by applicant tracking systems. We'll explore how to build a real talent pipeline, how to measure potential, and how to create a workplace where great people actually want to join and stay. I want to be clear that I don't have all the answers; I'm here to learn right alongside you. This is a conversation I want us to have together. I'm excited to talk about what has evolved over the last 25 years, what has stubbornly stayed the same, and what we need to do now to finally move forward. If you're passionate about this topic, I want to hear from you as we explore how to finally win this long-running war for talent. Stacie More episodes at StacieBaird.com.

In this episode of The Chad & Cheese Podcast, the boys interview Malcolm Frank, former president of Cognizant Digital and current CEO of Talent Genius, a platform focused on AI-driven talent acquisition. Frank, an Ohio native, discusses his extensive experience in technology and consulting, highlighting Cognizant's growth from 10,000 to over 300,000 employees. He traces AI's rise in business, noting its "slow, then sudden" impact since ChatGPT's 2022 debut. Frank critiques CEOs for layering AI onto outdated structures, leading to poor ROI, as shown in an MIT survey, and advocates for first-principles thinking to redesign processes. He sees recruiting transforming with AI, cutting sourcing time (e.g., scanning 7.5 million profiles instantly) and improving cultural fit analysis, though human recruiters remain vital for emotional connection. Frank warns of AI scaling biases faster than humans, necessitating strong governance to avoid issues like predatory lending seen in early AI experiments. He discusses Talent Genius's “Agent Powered” platform, which helps workers leverage AI to amplify skills (e.g., becoming “5x” more effective), drawing parallels to historical job shifts like the iceman's obsolescence. The lively discussion, peppered with humor about Davos and Buckeyes, emphasizes AI's potential to turbocharge talent management if thoughtfully integrated, urging listeners to visit talentgenius.io for more.
