In this episode, Edan Haddock challenges the future of Talent Acquisition and whether it even has one.

As AI, hiring managers, and access to talent reshape the hiring landscape, TA isn’t being replaced overnight… it’s being quietly stripped back. But the real tension? It’s not just external disruption. It’s that TA backed the wrong future.

From the rise (and quiet stall) of skills marketplaces to the over-engineering of talent frameworks, Edan explores how the industry invested in ideas that looked smart… but never changed behaviour.

This episode is a raw take on what’s actually happening beneath the surface and what survives if Talent is to remain relevant.
