Episode 565 - Recruitment Faces its Kodak Moment - Strap in... with Craig Watson

Episode notes

Buckle in for a special episode of Tapod, where we sit down with Craig Watson, (yes you read that right - Craig is a guest), as he launches his new venture, People Orbit AI. Craig has spent the last year embedding himself in all things AI and has some very controversial views on where our industry sits. People Orbit AI has been created to add knowledge, power and value to TA and HR functions as we navigate the new reality. He believes that we are right on the precipice of a ‘Kodak moment', and if we as an industry don’t wake from our slumber, we may suffer a similar fate. No one disputes that we are implementing more AI in our workflows to remove the repetitive, boring, adminny (not sure that’s a real word) tasks. But businesses are also hiring less staff in many industries while they work out their own tech-led restructures. So if automation is allowing us to get more work done, but there is less work - where does that leave us as a function? With a massive opportunity to step up and grow up - that’s where! Who knows roles in businesses better than TA and HR? Who knows what tasks are required to be successful in any role better than TA and HR?
