Listen "Ep 648: Unstoppable Transformation"
Episode Synopsis
In the last few weeks, many established software vendors have launched AI-augmented products, helping us move past the hype and get a much more hands-on view of what AI means for Talent Acquisition.
There are still a massive amount of unknowns, but it is evident that AI is a chief catalyst in what is now an unstoppable transformation of TA and the broader talent function. AI and automation fundamentally alter the speed and scale at which TA can operate, constantly pushing the boundaries of what is possible.
So, what does this mean for TA leaders and practitioners right now? How prepared are organizations for this level of transformation, and how can TA raise its game to drive more value for the organization?
This week, my guests are Dr. Swathi Palasamudram, Enterprise Business Architect at Bosch, and Nazim Ünlü, Global People and Organization Lead at Novartis, in two interviews recorded at the Smartrecruiters Hiring Success event in Amsterdam in September. Swathi and Nazim shared insights that reveal why the transformation of talent acquisition is truly unstoppable—and how TA leaders can harness this momentum to not only keep pace but lead the way.
In the interviews, we discuss:
Fear, Adaptability, and the critical importance of strategic thinking
Current AI use cases.
How AI can raise the value of TA to the business
Regional variations in AI adoption
Retaining the vital human element of TA and HR
Data literacy
Building a personalized candidate experience
The difference between Automation (efficiency through technology) and AI (insights and decision-making)
Advice for TA Leaders
