    Recruitment... 'It's Teamwork.' with Tibo Torche

    This week on Tapod, we catch up with Tibo Torche – Group Talent Acquisition Manager from Esri (Australia and South Asia). If you’ve ever checked a rain radar, or dialled before you dug – Esri probably provided the tech – and recruiting in this field is very interesting. We discuss process to tech-stack to AI and future plans. And the end of the day, Tibo has a teamwork-first philosophy and it has enabled him the build a highly successful team. It’s a great episode and we learned a lot – you will too. Thanks to Daxtra for partnering with us this month.

    Episode 565 - Recruitment Faces its Kodak Moment - Strap in... with Craig Watson

    Buckle in for a special episode of Tapod, where we sit down with Craig Watson, (yes you read that right - Craig is a guest), as he launches his new venture, People Orbit AI. Craig has spent the last year embedding himself in all things AI and has some very controversial views on where our industry sits. People Orbit AI has been created to add knowledge, power and value to TA and HR functions as we navigate the new reality.  He believes that we are right on the precipice of a ‘Kodak moment', and if we as an industry don’t wake from our slumber, we may suffer a similar fate. No one disputes that we are implementing more AI in our workflows to remove the repetitive, boring, adminny (not sure that’s a real word) tasks. But businesses are also hiring less staff in many industries while they work out their own tech-led restructures. So if automation is allowing us to get more work done, but there is less work – where does that leave us as a function? With a massive opportunity to step up and grow up – that’s where! Who knows roles in businesses better than TA and HR? Who knows what tasks are required to be successful in any role better than TA and HR? No-one… So it makes sense that we take ownership for tasks, roles and workforce planning. That’s right, we need to run the workforce re-architecture projects, and we need to make the decisions on whether humans, agents or a combination of both are the right fit. And then WE need to be the ones hiring not only the people but also the automation solutions. Craig has built People Orbit AI to get teams and businesses to that point. It’s a fascinating development and you should speak to Craig if you want to learn more…

    Episode 563 - Are you overwhelmed by AI? You probably should be... with Gareth Flynn

    This week on Tapod, we catch up with Gareth Flynn – Talent & Workforce Expert, Founder and CEO at TQ Solutions. The world is overwhelmed by AI, but the rate of change continues at a pace we have never seen. We dive really deep, from AI twins to who owns AI agents’ IP developed by humans, to how we should put a value on our time, roles that are going to be affected and a whole lot more. We look at countries that are at the forefront and those (hint hint starts with A) that are lagging behind. The most important takeaway is DO NOT ignore AI, no matter how much fatigue you have or how overwhelmed you feel. Thanks to Daxtra for partnering with us this month.
