Rain, Whisky and Robots
If you listened to the TA Leader interviews in Episode 619, you'd know that Recruiting Future recently collaborated with The Chad & Cheese podcast to host two face-to-face unconference-style events in Edinburgh and Glasgow.
On the day between the two events, we decided to combine podcast recording with tourism. What better way to do this than to use a campervan as a mobile recording studio and drive around the southeast of Scotland, taking in some of its world-famous coastal views? Well, that was the plan anyway.
Our plans took an unexpected turn as the weather had other ideas. But this led to some exciting impromptu discussions on AI and the future of work, sparked by a tour of a two-hundred-year-old whisky distillery, a flying visit to a seven-hundred-year-old castle, and a trip to the beach.
In this episode, we discuss:
Is the resume dead?
What's going on with skills-based hiring
The differences and similarities between talent acquisition in Scotland and talent acquisition in the US
Attitudes to risk
The tricky balance between robots and humans
What does the long-term future look like
Do we have the right attitude towards the future as an industry?
AI is already taking TA jobs.
Why smaller employers may have an advantage
What happens when AI is just baked into everything?
What is going to change in the next three years

Hard Skills & Soft Skills
The shortening shelf life of skills, shifting business priorities, and the surge in AI-driven job applications are compelling many employers to rethink their candidate assessment and selection processes. This shift towards skills-based thinking is fostering greater integration between talent acquisition and talent management. By combining data on soft skills, hard skills, and career aspirations, employers can leverage a unified dataset to gain a comprehensive view throughout the entire employee lifecycle.
So how can this be done, and what advantages can it bring?
My guest this week is Jason Putnam, the CRO at Plum. Jason has been driving the charge around the scientific assessment of soft skills for a while and has recently incorporated data on hard skills into their methodology. Jason has some important insights to share on the future of assessment and the implementation of skills-based hiring.
In the interview, we discuss:
How the market is evolving
The changing balance between talent acquisition and talent management
TA's responsibility for retention
Combining hard skills and soft skills
Pace paradox versus business latency
Focusing on the skills you need rather than the skills you have
The evolution of the recruiting process
Building alignment between talent acquisition, talent management, and hiring managers
The importance of one universal dataset
The role of AI

SmartRecruiters Unplugged with Interim CEO Rebecca Carr
To say the ATS business is a challenging one these days would be an understatement. Between mergers and acquisitions, slumbering IPO ambitions and figuring out the whole AI Revolution, staying ahead of the game is complex. That's why we invited SmartRecruiters interim CEO and CPO Rebecca Carr to the show. She's an industry veteran with a good story to tell and as an industry product person to the bone, she can add nuance to the landscape. Covering everything from the hibernating IPO speculation to the botched acquisition with iCIMS to her time with - wait for it - Branchout, a high flying player from over a decade ago, who flamed out and die at the hand of Facebook before it really caught fire. It'a a walk down Memory Land, and a glimpse into the future that's a must-listen.

Laughable metrics in TA
Talent Streaming
Referral to Interview ratio - aim for 90-100%

The Unicorn Parade with Jason Corsello
The world of venture capital is a mystery to most. Who gets funded and why? What's the math around valuations? And why is there so much "betting on the jockey"? So many questions with so few answers. That's why we invited Jason Corsello, founder and general partner at Acadian Ventures, on the podcast. He'll help us better understand the unicorn parade from a few years back, which resulted in a VC winter, which has led to the gradual thawing of capital into the world of work. What kind of companies are getting his attention, and wallet share, and what advice does he give to startups looking to raise that first seed round of capital. The veils are being lifted and the crystal balls are coming out on this one. Enjoy.
