Turning the table on AI

Feeling the heat in talent acquisition? We do, too! According to Katrina Collier, the TA landscape right now is nothing short of a “dumpster fire” - and she’s not wrong! Layoffs, AI threats, and managers with fuzzy hiring goals? It’s a recipe for chaos. But here’s the good news: there’s a way through the flames, and it involves collaboration, setting boundaries, and proving your worth in bold new ways.

AI is shaking things up, but it’s not coming for your job; at least, not the parts that matter most. Sure, AI can automate tasks, but it can’t replace the human touch that’s critical. Emotional intelligence, understanding people’s stories, and building relationships? That’s all you, and AI can’t touch it.

At Live London 2024, we welcomed Katrina Collier, the one and only author of Reboot Hiring, who talked us through not only surviving but thriving in the chaotic world of talent acquisition with the right mindset and tools.

Some key takeaways were:

• Stay in tune with employment trends to make smarter, more strategic decisions.
• Double down on the human skills that make recruitment special.
• Clear communication with hiring managers is crucial for recruitment success.
• Setting limits is essential for avoiding burnout and proving your worth
• Use data and success stories to show TA’s impact on the organisation.
• Continuous growth and mentorship will keep you on top of your game in an ever-changing world.
