A massive field experiment with 70,000 applicants just delivered one of the most important findings for HR: AI voice agents conducting job interviews outperformed human recruiters.

The results:
✅ 12% more job offers
✅ 18% more people actually starting their jobs
✅ 17% higher 30-day retention

In today’s episode, we’re diving into a fascinating study from the University of Gothenburg about the HR Business Partner (HRBP) model in Scandinavian workplaces.

The study highlights some big gaps between the ideal HRBP role and what actually happens in practice. Many HR professionals struggle with the strategic side of the role, and there’s often a disconnect between what line managers need—more operational support—and what the HRBP role is supposed to offer.

One of the key takeaways is the idea of moving towards a team-based approach to HR, which might fit better with the collaborative culture in Scandinavian companies. It’s a reminder that we need to adapt global HR models to fit our local context, rather than just adopting them as-is.
