Listen "Ep 624: The TA Team Of The Future"
Episode Synopsis
Much of the conversation about the future of talent acquisition focuses on absolutes. The questions debated revolve around whether there will actually be a need for talent acquisition in the future, whether robots will do all the recruiting, and whether most jobs will even still exist.
While these discussions are essential, they tend to polarize opinion and don't do much to move the industry forward. We need to have nuanced conversations about the practicalities of this transformation process and focus on the skills and roles that will drive the change we need.
My guest this week is Andreea Lungulescu, Principal Talent Acquisition Partner at thermondo. Andreea strongly advocates for strategic talent acquisition and the importance of TA shaping its own destiny. She has done some significant work around the future roles talent acquisition will need and has some highly valuable insights to share
In the interview, we discuss:
Elevating the role of TA and making it strategic
The importance of understanding rapidly changing business priorities
How are employers responding to AI?
The enthusiasm vs. implementation gap
What are AI skills?
Removing silos in the talent function
Disrupting the traditional career framework in TA
What TA roles might we see in the future?
What skills do TA professionals need to develop
What is going to happen over the next 18 months
