What better way to do this than to use a campervan as a mobile recording studio and drive around the southeast of Scotland, taking in some of its world-famous coastal views? Well, that was the plan anyway.\n\nOur plans took an unexpected turn as the weather had other ideas. But this led to some exciting impromptu discussions on AI and the future of work, sparked by a tour of a two-hundred-year-old whisky distillery, a flying visit to a seven-hundred-year-old castle, and a trip to the beach.\n\nIn this episode, we discuss:\n\nIs the resume dead?\n\nWhat's going on with skills-based hiring\n\nThe differences and similarities between talent acquisition in Scotland and talent acquisition in the US\n\nAttitudes to risk\n\nThe tricky balance between robots and humans\n\nWhat does the long-term future look like\n\nDo we have the right attitude towards the future as an industry?\n\nAI is already taking TA jobs.\n\nWhy smaller employers may have an advantage\n\nWhat happens when AI is just baked into everything?\n\nWhat is going to change in the next three years\n\n\nFollow this podcast on Apple Podcasts.
