Ep 413: Into The Metaverse

For over a decade now, I've been flagging up the development of virtual reality as something talent acquisition should have on their radar. It's taken a while, but with tech giants like Meta and Apple making multi-billion dollar investments in technology and infrastructure is now finally the time for our industry to fully embrace the Metaverse. So how does would this work, and what talent acquisition and HR activities are already in play in virtual reality.
