From generative AI, to DEI, the talent acquisition space has arguably never experienced a time of greater change. How will emerging technologies shape the recruiter and candidate experiences in the years to come? How is employer branding evolving from a “tactic” to a strategic asset that delivers value across the entire talent lifecycle? And what are the implications of all of this for making smart, data-driven decisions with limited advertising budgets?Each week we tackle these big questions and more with the industry’s leading voices as our guests. The Changing State of Talent Acquisition Podcast invites you to go beyond the same tired generalist voices and topics typical of “legacy” HR media and explore what emerging voices and unconventional thought leaders are saying about this dynamic time in our industry.
