Traditionally, hiring has been anchored around getting the right talent into the organization. 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. 

So how does this work in practice and what are the implications for the future of recruiting?

My 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.

In the interview, we discuss:

Reversing dehumanization in recruiting

The evolving distribution of work

Starting with the work rather than starting with the talent

Using AI to identify skills at scale

Assumed skills, self-reported skills, and certified skills.

Outsourcing, offshoring, gig work and automation

Developing automation strategies

Augmenting rather than replacing people

Process re-engineering

Partnering or building

Matching based on anticipating candidate needs

What does the future of work look like
