Earlier in the summer, I collaborated with the SmartRecruiters team to interview four fantastic practitioners who spoke on The Hiring Without Boundaries stage at RecFest in London. We recorded the conversations backstage at the event, and this is the third of three podcast episodes where I will be sharing them.\n\nTalk about generative AI is everywhere, but most of the conversation is either inflating the hype or dealing with highly tactical short-term techniques and use cases. So, how can TA Leaders think about AI strategically to embrace current opportunities and plan effectively for the future?\n\nMy next RecFest guest is Ben Handyside, Director of Talent Acquisition EMEA at Colliers International. Colliers have recognized that ChatGPT was already being used by many people within their organization and are harnessing the advantages to boat innovation and make TA a key strategic driver of value.\n\nIn the interview, we discuss:\n\nChallenging barriers and boundaries to access new talent\n\nThe forces driving change in TA\n\nTA as a strategic enabler\n\nAcknowledging AI utilization, understanding the risk, and establishing guidelines\n\nThe risk of doing versus the risk of not doing\n\nUse cases and experimentation.\n\nCreating more time for human interactions\n\nManaging adoption\n\nPlanning for the AI-driven future\n\nUnderstanding the problem you are trying to solve.\n\nSpeed as a strategic lever\n\nAdvice to TA Leaders\n\nWhat will the role of the recruiter be like in ten years?\n\n\nListen to this podcast on Apple Podcasts.
