    Leading Through a Decade of Disruption, with Dr Hayley Lewis

In this episode, AI-in-HR advisor Martyn Redstone shares how to move from pilots to policies, so you can innovate at speed without risking compliance, fairness or brand trust.  “HR has to be the bastion because every form of AI transformation touches people… HR needs to take the leadership… set the direction, the guardrails and own the strategy.” Check out Martyn's work at www.eunomia-hr.com

    Matt Alder on AI and The Future of Talent Acquisition

    Send us a text Generative AI is reshaping talent acquisition faster than any previous tech wave and, in this Deep Dive, HR futurist Matt Alder (host of the globally renowned Recruiting Future podcast) joins Hannah Mullaney to cut through the noise. With 25 years’ experience in the industry, Matt truly is a leading voice on the future of talent strategy. We talked about where AI is making a real difference in hiring, the ethical pitfalls to watch out for, and what the future really holds for recruiters, candidates, and hiring teams alike. - Why are most employers “using AI by default, not design”? And what are the hidden costs? - Why is the the 4 A Framework (Automation, Augmentation, Amplification, Archive) going to be crucial in the toolkit of every TA leader? - Is it time to face the uncomfortable truth that your role may disappear…? - How big is the quiet fraud threat? Synthetic résumés, voice cloned candidates and avatar interviews are ones to watch out for - Are you up to speed with new legislation (EU AI Act, U.S. state laws) that could make vendors, not employers, liable for bias? If you’re involved in HR, hiring, workforce planning or tech, this episode is not one to miss. Check out Recruiting Future here - https://recruitingfuture.com/
