In this episode, I sit down with  Skai O’Sullivan , Talent Director at Connexus, where she leads the Financial, Professional Services, and Technology divisions across Ireland, Europe, and the US. With over a decade of experience across agency and in-house recruitment, Skai  brings an insightful, human-centered perspective on how the world of work is changing.

We explore the evolution of recruitment in an AI-driven age, the growing demand for commercial awareness across all roles, and why human connection remains at the heart of great hiring. Skai also shares how companies can build skills-first hiring strategies, the power of apprenticeships beyond traditional trades, and how fractional work is redefining career paths for experienced professionals.

Together, we dive into what it means to be a recruiter today  balancing technology and empathy, rethinking talent pipelines, and shaping workplaces that value both people and progress.
