However, in these highly disrupted times, is this still the right way of operating? In our fast-changing world of work, looking at the skills needed to do the work offers organizations the flexibility to expand internal and external pools and consider outsourcing, offshoring, gig work, process improvement, and AI-driven automation as alternative ways of getting work the done.\xa0\n\nSo how does this work in practice and what are the implications for the future of recruiting?\n\nMy guest this week is Bruce Morton, Head of Strategy for Allegis Global Solutions. Bruce is a deep thinker about technology and the future of work and has some valuable insights into how some of the organizations Allegis works with are thinking differently about talent. Allegis has also implemented a large-scale automation program in its own business, which Bruce believes will facilitate a much more human-centric approach to recruiting.\n\nIn the interview, we discuss:\n\nReversing dehumanization in recruiting\n\nThe evolving distribution of work\n\nStarting with the work rather than starting with the talent\n\nUsing AI to identify skills at scale\n\nAssumed skills, self-reported skills, and certified skills.\n\nOutsourcing, offshoring, gig work and automation\n\nDeveloping automation strategies\n\nAugmenting rather than replacing people\n\nProcess re-engineering\n\nPartnering or building\n\nMatching based on anticipating candidate needs\n\nWhat does the future of work look like\n\n\nFollow this podcast on Apple Podcasts.
