TA Disruptors

Is AI making the workplace more inclusive – could it really be the silver bullet for Neurodiverse talent? And what should Talent Acquisition be doing to ensure that they’re not accidentally failing neurodiverse candidates?

Meet Theo Smith, Neurodiversity Expert, Podcast Host, the founder of NeuroMind, a tech company, and NeuroDiversity at Work, a consultancy helping organisations create thriving, neuro-inclusive environments. With 15+ years in recruitment, talent, and diversity – he’s on a mission to drive innovation, performance, and productivity through neurodiversity.

As a a LinkedIn Top Voice, award-winning author of Neurodiversity at Work, and host of the podcast Neurodiversity with Theo Smith, where he brings lived experience, practical strategies, and expert advice to the conversation – Theo is the perfect guest to dive in on this very special TA Disruptors podcast episode, giving TA the answers to the tough questions they’ve been debating in recent months.

Join host Robert Newry and guest Theo Smith as they discuss:

💡Why most neurodiversity initiatives flop: good intentions, zero structure, and managers left hanging - the key to good intentions lies in training, structure, or consistent support.

🏥How Neurodiverse candidates often don’t need medical interventions—small, practical adjustments can make a huge difference..

✅Tick-box inclusion? Why real progress means smashing systemic barriers, not just checking legal boxes.

🤖How AI can be a game-changer for neurodiverse candidates… if you know how to use it.

🏢Why interviews and onboarding can unintentionally disadvantage candidates; offering choice and flexibility helps people show their strengths and shine!

⚡How combining technology, AI, and humans is the secret sauce. Support early creates a smoother, fairer path into work for neurodiverse talent, so they can both win.

You may have seen the big debate on LinkedIn - should we share interview questions with candidates beforehand?

For Ellie Long, Global Head of Emerging Talent at Rolls-Royce, the answer is clear. While it’s a bold move, she believes it’s the right one. Her philosophy? Set candidates up for success so they can showcase their skills and potential. And in the age of AI, this has never been more important. That’s because many candidates assume AI will give them an edge—but in reality, it might be holding them back.

With a background in Early Careers at E.ON UK, Ellie is passionate about using emerging talent as a strategic leaver focused on future skills and capabilities. In this episode, she shares why supporting all candidates is crucial — especially in the AI era — and how focusing on potential, not polish, is the key to building future talent.

Join host Robert Newry and guest Ellie Long as they discuss:

💡 Turning the tide of AI-generated applications – How to turn 1000s of identical AI-generated applications to your advantage and better support candidates throughout the hiring process.

🤖​ ChatGPT in hiring – The UK initiative and approach to guiding candidates on using ChatGPT: leveraging it as a research tool while ensuring applications remain authentic and truly representative of the individual.

⚡ A ‘Why Wouldn’t We?’ mindset – Ellie’s philosophy of starting from ‘yes’ to drive innovation, challenge the status quo, and keep the team forward-thinking.

🫶 Enhancing the candidate experience – The importance of transparency in hiring. In the UK Rolls-Royce has shared interview questions, assessment materials, and even the scoring matrix to help candidates perform at their best.

Most employers now recognise that banning or detecting AI usage is more likely to damage diversity than help your process. But how exactly do you embrace AI? And how can you clearly communicate this with applicants? 

HMRC recently published, ‘Understanding Artificial Intelligence in your job application’ for candidates, which provides clear guidelines on exactly how to use AI within the application process while also demonstrating how important it is for applicants to stand out, because ‘using a generic AI-generated response isn’t going to separate you from the crowd”.

Siobhan Stericker, Talent Insights and AI Lead at HM Revenue and Customs is the brains behind these new guidelines that are challenging the way that organisations view candidate usage of AI. Siobhan is responsible for leading an innovative team at HMRC who alongside these innovative guidelines are exploring how they can leverage GenAI within the whole of the talent acquisition process, while also upskilling the wider teams in their use of GenAI to improve efficiencies. 

She’s joining us to talk through why and how she created this new guidance that’s helping candidates understand what exactly responsible usage of AI is, and more importantly, the benefit for them of leaving generic responses behind. 

Join host Robert Newry and Siobhan as they discuss:

😱​ How receiving 800 applications should be a thing of the past: Hear how the volume of applications has become unsustainable for hiring managers, and why Siobhan thinks this new guidance will improve the quality of candidate applications 

⭐​ Helping candidates to stand out: Learn how HMRC created and implemented its new candidate guidance which helps candidates understand why a generic AI response won’t help them advance in the application process

🤖​ AI Skills are the future skills: Gain insight into how HMRC view AI Skills, and why the decision to embrace AI in the application phase will enable them to have a competitive edge with their future talent

💡Why the detection of AI is a risk: Learn why HMRC chose not to use AI detection for application screening, and how they’re striving to create a fair and equitable application process 

💥​ AI is a seismic shift in technology: Why we should be helping everyone through this technology transition, and how you can start to encourage your team to explore AI tools through gamification

If you’ve been following discussions on LinkedIn or at recent conferences, you’ve likely heard about Shoosmiths — the UK’s fastest-growing national full-service law firm — and their innovative approach to embracing the AI-enabled candidate. While others focused on deterring and detecting AI use, Shoosmiths chose to embrace AI use in the application process, providing candidates with clear guidance along the way.

Samantha Hope, Shoosmiths' Head of Emerging Talent, is leading the charge. Responsible for sourcing and developing trainee solicitors from initial attraction to qualification, Samantha was one of the first TA leaders to actively advocate for embracing AI in recruitment processes. And she’s joining us today to tell us exactly how she did it. 

This episode will finally give you a clear understanding of how to manage candidate use of AI in Early Careers and beyond –– in a way that’s led by humans, rather than AI fighting AI.

Join host Robert Newry and Samantha as they discuss:

🤖​Embracing AI in a human-led way: Learn how Shoosmiths took a pioneering approach by integrating AI into their processes while maintaining a human-led focus in a typically cautious and traditional industry

🚀​Upskilling for the future: Gain insights on how Shoosmiths are equipping employees with the AI skills necessary for the evolving legal landscape, and how they’re empowering their workforce to remain innovative and competitive

If you thought AI's impact on recruitment was limited to a few CVs and cover letters, think again. Gen Z candidates have access to more tools and learning resources than ever — and they’re using them to shift the balance of power in their favour. 

But are recruiters ready to meet this wave of innovation –– with a clear plan and transparent communication about what that plan looks like?

In this episode of TA Disruptors, host Robert Newry is joined by Shoshanna Davis and Holly Hobbs, to discuss how Gen Z sees the world of work, why employers are missing the mark, and how AI has become both a bridge and a barrier.

Shoshanna Davis is founder of Fairy Job Mother, and is on a mission to empower young people with the skills and confidence they need for impactful careers, while giving managers the understanding and tools to engage, inspire, and elevate the next generation of leaders. She manages a community of 20,000+ young people and advises companies like M&S, BT and Diageo. 

Holly Hobbs is Founder of Apprentivia - The Early Talent Employer Branding Agency that specialises in helping employers attract & develop Gen-Z apprentices through social media; as well as managing a community of 40,000 young people. Holly has worked with organisations like Berkeley Group, British Gas, and the Department of Education.

🔥 Gen Z’s social media pressure cooker

From TikToks showcasing live job interview hacks with ChatGPT to Insta reels promising instant promotions, Gen Z candidates are navigating a minefield of misleading and conflicting advice. And the reality is, when it comes to using AI in the recruitment process, it can be impossible to tell what good looks like. 

⚡ ChatGPT in job applications: Cheat code or toolkit?

55% of Holly’s Gen Z community use ChatGPT to apply for jobs. From rewording clunky CVs to acing online tests, they’re turning to AI to fill the gaps where career mentoring and guidance have failed them. But are recruiters prepared to engage with these AI-enabled candidates?

🤔 The transparency trap: Recruiters, take note

Employers say, “be yourself,” but what does that mean to Gen Z candidates? Holly and Shoshanna highlight how some well-worn guidance is confusing for Gen Z candidates, and what emplyers can do about it. 

🛠 Actionable insights for TA leaders

• Define your AI policy now: Sitting on the fence isn’t an option. Decide if candidates can use AI tools and explain how.
• Be specific about your processes: If your recruitment involves AI or automation, tell applicants how it’s used. Transparency builds trust.
• Innovate your assessments: Incorporate tasks that AI can’t easily tackle, such as real-time problem-solving or behavioural exercises.

AI has brought about a DDoS attack on recruitment. What do we do about it? Martyn Redstone talks shifting power dynamics, assessing AI capability, and the cost of inaction.

If your technical team faced a DDoS attack — an onslaught of overwhelming traffic designed to disrupt your systems — how would you expect them to respond? Would you expect them to freeze and do nothing? Or take proactive steps to address the vulnerability and reimagine their processes to not only prevent future risks, but to make their processes better?

According to Martyn Redstone, founder of PPLBots and co-founder of genAssess, AI tools are doing to recruitment what a DDoS attack does to company websites — overloading them with applications and upending the balance of power between recruiters and candidates. With new AI tools enabling mass-personalised applications submitted at scale, recruitment have to do something differently if they stand any chance of managing candidate volumes while fairly assessing their true capability. And reclaiming control of the recruitment process. 

In this week’s episode of the TA Disruptors podcast, Martyn joins Robert as they discuss:

💡 The shift in power dynamics: AI tools like ChatGPT have given candidates the ability to mass-personalize CVs, cover letters, and applications with near-flawless precision — upending the recruiter-candidate relationship. What happens when candidates wield the same power recruiters once held?

🤖 The Fight, Freeze, or Friend framework: How recruitment teams are reacting to the rise of AI

🎓 Rethinking what we select for: Why banning AI in recruitment is at odds with workplace realities. If organisations expect employees to use AI on the job, why exclude candidates who use it during recruitment?

🔍 Practical steps for the future of recruitment: Martyn shares actionable advice for how recruiters can:

• Automate low-value tasks like CV screening without falling into the trap of “black box” decision-making.
• Build transparency and governance into their processes to comply with AI regulations like GDPR and the EU AI Act.
• Focus on hiring candidates with AI-enablement skills, ensuring they can use generative AI tools productively and responsibly from day one.

🚀 Why recruiters must lead the AI transformation: AI is here to stay, and Martyn predicts a seismic shift in recruitment over the next 5-10 years.

But the recruiters who thrive will be those who embrace AI, use it to drive productivity, and refocus their efforts on high-value tasks like relationship building and strategic hiring decisions. This episode is essential listening for anyone navigating the challenges of AI in recruitment—whether you’re overwhelmed by AI-enabled applications or looking to future-proof your hiring processes.
