We explain the relevance of a bag of jelly belly jellybeans to HRtech.
On this week's show our guests are Lydia Wu and Bill Boorman.
Lydia is Director of Talent Analytics and Transformation for Panasonic North America, and in her role she's asking a question a lot of us grapple with... what's next? After the changes the pandemic has delivered to the employee/employer relationship how can brands respond to get the best available talent and keep it?
Our second chat is the wonderful (and legendary) Bill Boorman. Founder of Tru London, and a talent professional of more than 20 years, we discuss talent, talent attraction and tech from a picnic table at RecFest 2022.

We bring together perspectives on the five ‘mega’ issues that are set to define tech in the next ten years: talent, transformation, security, inclusion, sustainability.
Our authors are global experts on tech, and include the former CISO of the CIA, the CIO of one of the world’s largest logistics companies, and founders of high growth start-ups and scale-ups, all with unique expertise and perspectives.
It’s essential listening for anyone involved in tech or digital strategy.
The State of Digital is the sister publication to the Digital Leadership Report, the world’s largest research into technology and talent trends, published in November each year.
