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

Ep 754: Finding Clarity in Recruiting Chaos


Listen Later

It's easy to feel overwhelmed by the pace of change in talent acquisition. AI developments, vendor mergers and acquisitions, a confusing technology landscape, and shifting candidate behaviours are just some of the current trends making everything feel chaotic. But if we take a step back and look carefully, patterns start to emerge. There are clues everywhere to what the future will look like.

So how do we make sense of it all?

My guest this week is Adam Godson, General Manager of Paradox at Workday. In our conversation, Adam cuts through the noise, explains how the agentic future is taking shape, discusses what Workday’s acquisition of Paradox means for the market, reviews the predictions he made on the show this time last year about 2025, and shares where he thinks things are heading in 2026

In the interview, we discuss:

  • Whether Adam’s predictions from this time last year were accurate
  • Workday’s acquisition of Paradox
  • The power of end-to-end employee lifecycle data
  • The potential power of agentic AI
  • Frontline hiring and how it has evolved
  • AI development
  • Will candidates have their own career agents?
  • The confusing TA and HR technology marketplace
  • What will the future look like? Predictions for 2026
