Recruiting Future with Matt Alder - What's Next For Talent Acquisition, HR & Hiring?

Ep 731: Recruiting Top AI Talent


Listen Later

The ongoing slump in tech hiring is well-documented. However, the demand for talented AI professionals, particularly at the leadership level, is absolutely off the scale. With unprecedented salaries being promised by the leading AI players, how can other employers compete, and what do the TA team need to know to secure the talent their organisation needs?


My guest this week is Rebecca Hastings, founder of Lucent Search. Rebecca has been hiring AI leaders for her clients for over a decade and a half, and Lucent Search recently published a research report investigating what top AI Leaders want from their jobs and careers. In our conversation, we explore some of the findings, and Rebecca offers some very valuable advice to TA teams looking for top AI talent.


In the interview, we discuss:


  • The rise of the Chief AI Officer and the reshaping of the C-Suite

    • Career frustration and the loyalty penalty

      • The perception AI Leaders have of talent acquisition

        • Why humans are still critical in AI projects and transformations

          • What motivates AI professionals to change jobs

            • Which skills are most in demand?

              • Where should AI transformation sit in the business?

                • What does the future look like?
