Breaking the hiring doom loop with Greenhouse CPO Sharawn Tipton

You can get everyone using AI and still have very little to show for it.Syed Ali Abbas, Global VP of People for Business Units at HelloFresh, joins me to talk about what the company is doing with AI and how it judges whether the work is paying off.We discuss the data cleanup behind its AI efforts, a US pilot offering 350 recipes to more than 25,000 customers, and what happens when the pace of change leaves employees and managers struggling to keep up.Abbas also explains why HelloFresh gave people time to learn before building AI into performance expectations, starting with a skills self-assessment that neither HR nor managers could see.And we get into his objection to HR leaders trying to become the CTO, along with the work he wants HR to focus on: redesigning workflows, developing people, and helping the business get results.

It's growing, and most organizations are fuelling it without meaning to.In this episode:- Why well-intentioned license decisions end up splitting your workforce in two- The two cohorts living side by side in the same organization, one running fast with their own Claude and ChatGPT setups, one barely started- The mechanism behind it, licenses follow whoever is comfortable asking- Why one client is taking AI access to the union negotiating table, and why I think they're right- Equal opportunity has to include the tools, not just the loud and vocal- The real missing piece, nobody has defined why AI matters for this organization- Why leaders can't be strategic about AI without being practical with it firstLinks mentioned:- AI Is a Work Tool, Not a Perk → https://www.fullstackhr.io/p/ai-is-a-work-tool-not-a-perkSubscribe to the FullStack HR newsletter → https://fullstackhr.io

AI Transformation in HR: Redesigning Work Without Losing Human Judgement with Joe Shahmoradian

In this episode, Johannes Sundlo explores a growing issue inside organizations adopting AI: the creation of an “A and B team.”Some employees get access to AI tools, licenses, education, and experimentation opportunities. Others are left behind. Not because of role or capability, but because of interest, visibility, or who happened to push hardest internally.Johannes argues that this is becoming one of the most overlooked leadership and employer branding challenges in AI adoption.He discusses:<ul><li>Why selective AI access creates organizational inequality</li><li>The hidden cultural risks of AI “elite groups”</li><li>Why the cost argument often falls apart under scrutiny</li><li>The chicken-and-egg problem of AI adoption</li><li>Shadow AI and the risks of unsupported tools</li><li>Why HR cannot leave this entirely to IT</li><li>How AI access is increasingly becoming a workplace infrastructure question, not an innovation experiment</li></ul>This is not a conversation about hype or future speculation. It’s about what happens inside organizations right now when some employees are allowed to work with modern tools while others are expected to continue without them.A practical reflection on leadership, fairness, AI adoption, and the future of work.
