    Episode 139 - Focusing on staffing margins could be costing you millions

    Companies spent decades forcing staffing margins to single digits — now it's coming back to bite them.   In EP 139 of Talent Titans, Suky Sodhi sits down with David Mason from Philip Morris International (ex-military, dot-com boom recruiter, now global TA leader) for a real-talk masterclass on where the staffing industry actually stands. From why margin compression killed innovation, to why in-house TA is often a commercial illusion, to the AI arms race that is exposing weak recruiters.   If you own a staffing or recruitment agency in Canada, this is your wake-up call: the transactional model is dead. The consultative model is the only way forward. IN THIS EPISODE: ✓ Why 20-30% margins dropping below 10% destroyed agency investment ✓ The hidden cost of moving recruitment in-house (profit + tax myth vs. liability) ✓ How the internet democratized recruitment data — your black book isn't the moat ✓ Where agencies STILL win: passive candidate relationships agencies nurture for years ✓ AI interviews, candidate embellishment & the "arms race" no one is ready for ✓ "The most inaccurate instrument to measure a human is another human" — why human bias needs curation ✓ Sustainability, ethical treatment of temps & why due diligence will define your reputation   CHAPTERS — Key Moments: 00:00 The Margin Squeeze: How Decade-Long Cuts Are Now Hurting Clients 01:00 Meet David Mason — From Military to PMI's Global Talent Strategy 03:00 How Margin Compression Killed Innovation in Staffing 06:00 In-House TA — Commercial Advantage or Just Moved Liability? 08:00 The Democratization of Knowledge: Why Data Is No Longer Your Moat 11:00 Agency vs. In-House: Who Really Owns Passive Candidate Relationships? 17:00 Do Agencies Actually Understand Client Commercials? 19:00 Agentic AI Will Rewrite Business Models (White-Collar Work Under Threat) 22:00 Do Candidates Really Quit Over AI Interviews?

His senior appointments include Director Global TA Delivery at PMI, Director of Recruitment at Capita, COO Resourcing at RBS, International Talent Acquisition Director at CH2M HILL and Group Head of Resourcing for AXA's UK and Ireland operations, where his remit spanned temporary and permanent hiring from board level through to customer service.

    Episode 138 - Why Companies Celebrate Older CEOs but Reject Older Talent

    How can the corporate world call a 90-year-old founder an "irreplaceable visionary" — while a 52-year-old candidate gets rejected as "not agile enough"? In this episode, Suky Sodhi exposes the Founder's Paradox: the massive double standard where age is treated as an appreciating asset for business owners, but an expiring liability for job applicants. Suky breaks down why HR's silence on this issue isn't neutral  it's active compliance with a broken, cost-cutting model  and lays out the real P&L damage companies do to themselves when they screen out talent aged 40-65: destroyed institutional memory, blown-up turnover budgets, and broken mentorship pipelines. She closes with a 3-step playbook e very recruiter can use TODAY to force hiring managers to justify  or drop  their age bias.   KEY MOMENTS: 00:00 — The Double Standard of Ageism 02:40 — The Real Cost of Age Bias 04:20 — Why HR Stays Silent 06:20 — The Founder's Paradox 09:40 — Why Is 52 "Too Old"? 13:40 — The Business Cost of Rejecting Experience 16:40 — The 3-Step Recruiter Playbook 19:40 — Ageism Will Eventually Affect All of Us 21:00 — Breaking the Silence on Ageism 21:40 — Closing & Sponsor    Check out more episodes of the Talent Titans Podcast: Why Contingency Recruiting is Dying: https://youtu.be/BAE9lrl8z74 Master Niche Recruiting: https://youtu.be/RoRWQ5bwPm0   Connect with Suky: Award-Winning Advisor & Industry Voice | Founder: Canadian Staffing Summit, Talent Titans, Recruitment Professionals Forum | Backing Bold Moves in Staffing, Tech & Investment — No Clickbait, Just Real Talk   Suky doesn't just observe the staffing industry — she helps shape it.   She's built platforms where the industry's most honest conversations happen: 🔹 Canadian Staffing Summit 🔹 Talent Titans Podcast 🔹 Recruitment Professionals Forum   For over two decades, Suky's helped recruitment businesses scale with integrity — from internal team builds to boardroom strategy.
