Podcasts about talent acquisition

Liz Jamieson, founder of LJ People and former Head of Talent Acquisition at Amazon APAC, joins the Org Design Podcast to explore the emerging field of workforce architecture that integrates AI agents alongside human employees. Drawing on her 15 years of recruitment experience across 7,000 hires, Liz shares how organizations can strategically plan for a hybrid workforce where AI agents are managed similarly to human employees—complete with onboarding, training, performance reviews, and optimization. The conversation covers practical steps for mapping workflows, identifying automation opportunities, and deploying AI agents while maintaining transparency with teams. Liz introduces the concept of "Intelligence Resources" (IR) as an evolution of Human Resources, discusses the risks of shadow AI usage, and explains why org design is becoming everyone's responsibility as employees become "agent bosses." She emphasizes that AI augments rather than replaces human work, shifting focus to validation, collaboration, and critical thinking while agents handle repetitive tasks. Key topics include: workflow mapping as the foundation for agentic deployment, the need for enterprise-level AI governance, the emergence of Chief AI Officer roles, and why frontier firms are already seeing gains from strategic AI integration in their workforce planning.

Hi there, welcome to Episode 756 of Recruiting Future with me, Matt Alder. Recruiting Future helps Talent Acquisition teams drive measurable impact by developing strategic capability in Foresight, Influence, Talent, and Technology. This episode is about Foresight. Making sense of talent acquisition right now feels impossible. Every week brings new technology announcements, shifting economic signals, and conflicting advice about what comes next. It's tempting to chase the latest headline or follow gut instinct, but reactive decision-making rarely ends well. Understanding key patterns helps separate signal from noise, and this is where genuine trend analysis grounded in real data becomes invaluable. So what trends are shaping TA heading into 2026, and how should leaders respond? My guest this week is Susan De La Vega, SVP Global Tech and Client Experience at Korn Ferry. Korn Ferry has just published their 12th annual TA trends report, built from interviews with over 1,600 global talent leaders, and Susan shares what the research reveals about where talent acquisition is heading. In the interview, we discuss: The biggest TA challenges we have seen this year Methodology behind Korn Ferry's TA Trends Report Changing attitudes and approaches to AI Why your next hire might not be human The importance of mapping tasks Investing in future talent Can TA get a seat at the table? Breaking the silos in the talent function Advice to TA Leaders on strategies for 2026 What does the future look like in 3 years' time? Follow this podcast on Apple Podcasts.

Is your recruiting process truly fit for today's talent market – or is it silently driving the best candidates away? In this episode, Niels Brabandt, leadership expert, executive coach, and organisational advisor, examines why recruiting can no longer be treated as an administrative HR task. Instead, modern recruiting must be understood as a core leadership strategy that directly influences organisational performance, employer reputation, and long-term competitiveness. Drawing on real-world examples and evidence-based insights, Niels Brabandt explains how arbitrary hiring practices, excessive interview rounds, lack of transparency, and outdated process design undermine trust and decision quality. He outlines why candidate-first design, speed, and radical clarity are now decisive factors in attracting and retaining high-performing talent. Key topics include: Why recruiting is a strategic leadership responsibility, not a back-office process How arbitrary judgement and ego-driven decisions damage hiring outcomes The importance of candidate-first design in modern recruiting processes Why transparency and speed are competitive advantages in talent acquisition The risks of excessive interview rounds and unstructured decision-making Why recruiting decisions must be evidence-based, not driven by intuition or personal bias How Artificial Intelligence can support recruiting – and where human leadership remains essential Why recruiting is always a two-way assessment between organisation and candidate This episode is aimed at CEOs, board members, senior executives, HR leaders, and business decision makers who want to future-proof their organisations by aligning recruiting with leadership, strategy, and evidence-based management. Recruiting is not about control. Recruiting is about leadership. And recruiting reveals how seriously organisations take people, performance, and the future.

When Dani was in eighth grade, she watched her grandmother wash and braid her own mother's hair. In that moment, she was witness to a ritual passed on through generations of Black women.Join me as Dani Allen, Senior Director of Talent Acquisition at Ancestry, shares her family's journey from the Deep South to Wisconsin during the 1930s and 40s as part of The Great Migration. Together we explore how her grandfather's search for work in the auto industry led their family north, the tumultuous marriage that nearly ended in tragedy, and the newspaper clipping that finally confirmed whispered family stories.From her great-grandmother's striking blue eyes and the meaning behind hair care rituals, to her weekly Zoom calls with her 90-year-old grandmother filled with freshly discovered stories, Dani reveals how intergenerational connections shape identity and preserve legacy. She shares how these discoveries help her two-year-old granddaughter understand the resilient women whose strength flows through her veins. Dani's story reminds us that family history isn't just about the past. It's about the bonds we nurture today that will live on in generations to come.〰️

Talent Acquisition is perhaps the most important but also complex part of business. In this podcast I explain the intricate details of this $750 billion market, which is now being transformed by AI. As you'll hear, recruitment is far more nuanced than you may think, so “experts” in HR can do some pretty amazing things. I hope this podcast helps you see the entire landscape and also understand where and why AI can have such an impact. Many tech companies have tried and failed to transform the market (Google Jobs failed, Facebook Jobs failed), yet some thrive and deliver tremendous value. As you listen to this podcast I hope you get a better sense of where this market is going and I encourage you to get Galileo and ask Galileo to explain the vendor market in detail (it is updated almost daily). As always I welcome your feedback and if you have an amazing or interesting story to share, please reach out to us. Like this podcast? Rate us on Spotify or Apple or YouTube.

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.

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?
