The Talent Myth: Why Businesses Are Ignoring a Global Skills Revolution | David Obi

Episode notes

You've heard businesses say they can't find the right people. But what if that's not the real problem? What if the system itself is broken, filtering out exceptional talent before a human ever sees it? In this episode, Wayne Willis sits down with David Obi, founder of RosyLinks, the company behind RosyJobs and Scholars Citadel, AI-powered platforms built to connect skilled, underrepresented talent with employers across the globe. David's story is personal: a master's degree in data science and AI from the University of Hull, and still unable to navigate a job system that wasn't built for people like him. So he built his own. They explore the myth of the talent shortage, the damage done by automated filtering systems, and what it really means to hire for potential rather than postcodes. From the 98% of Fortune 500 companies that use AI recruitment tools and exclude great candidates, to international students who spend thousands on UK degrees and are then locked out of the workforce, this is a conversation that challenges how we think about talent, opportunity, and who gets a shot. This is Shifting Views with Willis.
