What would be the one lesson you would share from 2024 based on your professional activities?
Recruitment is becoming automated with the use of Ai. It will eventually become hiring manager self serve. To remain relevant it must add strategic value by transforming to Talent Advisory and improve business partnering.
What do you see as the biggest challenge for 2025?
Understanding what strategic value is and going through the change management to transform. Then having the influencing and change management skills to bring this about and partner with the business.
What is your opinion on AI? Is it taking away from recruiters' jobs? Where can you add value in recruitment selection?
Yes, Ai will in over 2-4 years significantly reduce and automate many tasks like preparation of job briefs and matching candidates and short listing. We must add strategic value. Like facilitating internal mobility and using creative ways of optimizing the workforce.
What skills will be most important for HR professionals in the future?
Strategic partnering and influencing. Using technology to inform the business and strategic direction.
What was the motivation or goal that started you on this path?
Sustainability of the recruitment industry.
