Ep 563: How Will AI Change TA? (Live at RecFest)
This time last year, most of us hadn't heard of generative AI, but it has dominated our industry discourse in 2023. The dramatic emergence of generative AI has illustrated how fast disruption is accelerating and has made us think deeply about the future of talent acquisition.\n\nBack in July at RecFest, Tony de Graaf, Global Director of Hiring Success at SmartRecruiters, invited me to join him for a fireside chat about the potential impact of generative AI on TA. Even though three months is a long time in AI, this is still a very relevant discussion where we attempted to unpick what is happening and understand how AI is shaping the future of talent acquisition.\n\nIn the interview, we discuss:\n\nThe AI hype cycle\n\nDoes AI take away tasks or jobs?\n\nThe pressure for change that is coming from the top of organizations\n\nStrategic workforce planning and hiring for future skills\n\nMoving from being operational to being strategic\n\nThe transformation of marketing\n\nDemocratized access to technology\n\nIs this the end of recruiting norms that we take for granted?\n\nBeing relentlessly open-minded and questioning everything\n\nThe future workforce talent and skills crisis\n\n\nListen to this podcast on Apple Podcasts.
