Listen "Ep 714: Navigating AI In Talent Acquisition"
Episode Synopsis
Recruiting Future is a podcast that helps Talent Acquisition teams drive measurable impact by developing their strategic capability in Foresight, Influence, Talent, and Technology.
This episode is about Influence and Technology.
Talent Acquisition leaders are navigating a uniquely challenging period, juggling rapid advancements in AI with ongoing operational demands. The opportunity to automate routine tasks is clear, but the real challenge is determining where AI ends and human intervention begins.
With AI technologies rapidly reshaping the recruitment landscape, how can employers ensure they deploy AI strategically rather than superficially?

Current TA market realities
Implementing AI to its full potential
Defining the split between automation, augmentation, and obsolescence
Why trust is critical for AI success
Radical shifts in recruiter roles
Hiring Manager self-service and why human backstops aren't the solution
What will TA teams do when AI gives them increased capacity?
How to build a business case
What does the future look like?
