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.

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.

WHAT HAPPENS TO RECRUITMENT WHEN AI IS YOUR COPILOT?   2025 will turn out to be the year when AI Agents mainstreamed into the recruiting profession. We're going to move past the semantic conversations on what is or is not 'Agentic AI' and simply get on with working with software which is going to do a lot of the heavy lifting work for us.   I think we will be surprised in two ways: how effective these AI agents are in delivering results and how much wider a scope they will end up having, on many parts of the hiring funnel.   The question needs to asked: what does this mean for Talent Acquisition? What does our function look like when every recruiter - every hiring manager - has a hiring co-pilot? Talent Acquisition, as well as the wider Human Resources function, urgently need to centre the discussion on what the 'human value added' really is when it comes to creating great organisations.   We're going to do taking on the hard conversations in today's debate on the future of recruitment when everyone has a copilot.   - General vs Verticalised AI Agents - What can Verticalised AI Agents do today - What level of performance by AI Agents are required for work to be transferred? - AI ethics & legislation - are they paper tigers? - What is the human value added? - When does low cost mass produced 'Good enough' beat high cost, custom made, artisanally produced? - Human Value Added - what is this, can we articulate it? - What gets automated - expert or non-expert, routine or episodic? - Do we even control this, or do vendors determine what tasks get automated? - Humans-in-the-loop - how do we make this substantive, rather than rubber stamp? - Under what circumstances do we believe a human can / should veto AI recommendation? - How do Talent Acquisition professionals need to reposition in with the advent of effective AI Agents? - Do we need to talk about Capitalism?     We are on Friday 3rd October, 2pm BST follow the channel here (recommended) and save your spot for this demo by clicking on the green button.     Ep335 is sponsored by our friends Metaview   Our most ambitious agent yet is here: AI Sourcing   This isn't sourcing as you know it.

This week I discuss the broad topic of “how do we manage individual performance” while employees become superpowered by AI? Do we need a different or new process? Should we push deliver metrics higher? Or do we change the model? As I explain in this discussion, the big change in work is how everyone is “super-charged,” enabling all of us to get more done (or higher quality) for a given cost. So one would guess we “raise the expectation bar.” However, as I discuss in this podcast, this really doesn't address the issue. In the world of AI transformation we're asking people to do different things, not just “more of the same.” So we need to refocus our performance management on the company's core values and behaviors, not only output metrics. I also discuss this flawed idea of “beating the competition” to measure performance. Great companies are not evaluated by their ability steal customers or market share from competitors (nor are great countries, btw). Rather they are evaluated based on their growth and return to shareholders. In a time of rapid transformation this means focusing people on “value creation” not just “market share.” There are lots of philosophical issues to debate here, stay tuned for more to come on this topic.
