Recruiting Future with Matt Alder - What's Next For Talent Acquisition, HR & Hiring? Ep 780: Cutting Through The AI Hype
I've recently returned from a long trip to Las Vegas, where I attended both the UNLEASH and Transform conferences. Unsurprisingly, AI dominated every session and every vendor booth at both events. The promise is huge, but the reality on the ground is a lot more complicated. Some teams are seeing genuine value from new tools. Others are finding that technology is creating as many problems as it solves. For many people, the sheer volume of options is making it harder, not easier, to know what to invest in.
So what is actually happening with AI in talent acquisition right now?
My guest interview from UNLEASH is Meredith Johnson, Chief Product Officer at Greenhouse and my guest interview from Transform is Nicki Paterson, Chief Growth Officer at Solutions Driven. They share their honest perspectives on AI adoption, the human skills that matter more than ever, and what the future might look like.
In the interview, we discuss:
- AI hype versus the current reality on the ground
- The balance between humans and machines
- Trust, control, and transparency
- The shift from quantity and speed to quality and value in hiring
- Aligning HR and TA with critical business objectives
- The confusing vendor landscape
- What does the future look like?
