Talking Talent

Topical discussion this week with Claude leaks hitting the headlines, with a reality check to TA teams on their usage of AI like Claude - what data are you putting through? GDPR is still here, and some of these companies do not have the right policies to protect the data. Plus the constant evolution of job titles, sounds great in passing, but scratch the surface and that "Head of ____" role is essentially an advisor with a fancy title. Stop misleading candidates, let's be transparent, honest and open about what we're recruiting for.

Embrace AI, embrace tech, embrace automations, but keep communication as personalised and tailored as you can to drive that candidate experience.

This week we touch on a sensitive subject - Neurodiversity, which Dale opens about his approach, his experience and his thought process. What is it like to be different? What is "reasonable adjustments" when it comes to interviews and starting a new role? How can we be more inclusive without excluding anybody?

AI Interviewing - it's a hot topic currently in the TA space. New jobs and sectors has changed Ben's perspective on it a little now. As long as it stays true to Candidate Experience, then we're both in agreement that it can be a useful timesaver, allowing us to concentrate more on the CX side of things and delivering top class service. What do you think? Let us know!
