It does feel like 2024 could be the inflection point where we can push away the hype and start to see what impact AI is really going to have on talent acquisition. Continuing my end-of-year theme of trying to find the signal in all the noise around generative AI, I wanted to get the perspective of a TA technology innovation practitioner to help us understand more about what 2024 might bring.
My guest this week is Tom Chevalier, General Manager at Appcast Labs, a division of Appcast that focuses on innovation and creating the next generation of recruiting technology. Tom and his team are literally building part of the future, and unsurprisingly, he has some valuable insights and important advice to share.
In the interview, we discuss:
- Where we are in the AI Hype Cycle
- The bundling of AI into established TA technologies
- Seeing through the marketing spin
- Where are the most interesting investments being made?
- What problems does AI solve, and what new issues does it create?
- Transforming the recruiting process
- Disruption in contingent staffing
- Use cases
- Implications for the careers of TA leaders and recruiters
