What do the top TA/HR leaders think about the impact of AI?   In October, the #Houseofvisionaries kicked off its US chapter in Boston 🎉 with an AI x People focused panel discussion.   New location, new residents, new visionary discussions! 🌎   Key moments from our panelists 💭 Theo Rowley Nishtha Jain Siobhan Desmond, MSHR Jill Wilson, SHRM-SCP   👉 Teams too often are resorting to AI as the solution. Deeply understanding the problem first can lead to less shiny, simpler solutions.   👉 If AI deals with repetitive and mundane tasks, what’s the ripple effect on early career development? It points to more critical thinking and soft skills development and how companies train people on these.   👉 Could AI replace the average recruiter's role in the early stages of the recruitment process? One panelist believes this is inevitable, sorry TA peeps… mixed opinions in the room   👉 AI cannot replace human complexities and nuances… yet We’re building our 2025 event plans for the US community, connect with Christina (Smith) Harris and join the conversation.

53% of candidates are using AI tools... 🤯   Want to level up your team, and educate hiring managers to stay ahead of this trend?   TA leaders are starting to see major issues with using AI in the interview process. 🚨   With an increasingly AI augmented workforce there will be scenarios where we welcome the use of tooling throughout the hiring process and those where we don’t.   We have compiled all the learnings from our recent #Houseofvisionaries workshop on this topic into a first-of-its-kind report. 🧾   In the report you will find out:   👉 The AI tools candidates are using and at what stage of the hiring process.   👉 Best practices and guidelines on how to adjust the interview process to tackle AI’s use.   👉 Informed hiring manager training   👉 Legal considerations   Want to get ahead of the game and be a future-focused voice in your business?   Reach out to Ben Rutter, Robert Hussey, Christina (Smith) Harris and they’ll send you the report 🤝

What does getting strategic workforce planning 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 look like?   It's time to challenge the status quo and embrace diverse talent. 🆕   Too many organisations are stuck in traditional hiring practices, missing out on incredible talent.   Let's break down barriers and create opportunities for career switchers to bring their unique perspectives to CleanTech, DeepTech and Biotech industries.   Diversity of thought, experience, and background can lead to ground breaking innovation! 🔥   Below Gemma McNair provides a stellar example of this. Showcasing to our #houseofvisionaries community how SWP identified where the future gaps were at Natwest and solved this innovatively through non-traditional career switchers - with incredible results! ✨   Looking to connect and collaborate with others trying to break the mould?

Can AI truly revolutionize your TA team?   Andrés García Ayala, Head of People Analytics and Strategic Workforce Planning at Legal & General, dived deep into the world of AI and its impact on talent acquisition in our recent #Houseofvisionaries event.   He's conducting an interesting experiment to measure the exact impact of AI on TA team efficiency.   By dividing his team into three groups:   ❌ no training 💻 basic training 👩💻 advanced training   He's gathering data on:   👉 Skill Level: Assessing AI proficiency before and after training.   👉 Sentiment: Understanding team members' attitudes towards AI.   👉 Task Efficiency: Measuring the time it takes to complete specific tasks.   The goal? To determine the precise efficiency gains that AI can bring to the table.   While we await the results, it's clear that AI has the potential to revolutionize the way we work.   But just how much more efficient can we become?   Are you a people leader who’s trying to level up your teams?   Want to get involved in vodcasts, create practical frameworks, or share actionable insights like Andres with the community? ✨   Reach out to Ben Rutter, Robert Hussey, Christina (Smith) Harris to enter the house!

How are candidates using AI in the hiring process? A hot topic on the agenda for many people leaders, and the perfect topic for our latest #Houseofvisionaries event.

The workshop covered: -        How are candidates using AI and are we happy for it to be used? -        What tools are candidates using throughout the hiring process? -        What adjustments might we need to make to the interview process? -        What future guidelines do we need to implement? A big thanks to those who joined us for the afternoon and for Joanna Stock for hosting this event 🙏🏻 So what next?

How to create the right workforce to drive business success? At our last #Houseofvisionaries micro event, leading strategic workforce planning consultant Adam Gibson discussed the three horizons of workforce planning. 1️⃣ Resource management ⏱ 0-3 months ❓ How do you best use your resources? 🤔 How can you more effectively deploy people against volatile demands? 2️⃣ Operational ⏱ 3-24 months ❓ Have you got enough to deliver?  🤔 What is the optimal resource mix to meet demand? To plan strategically, we have to look beyond the here and now and understand how we will deliver the right people, in the right place, at the right time. 🔥 3️⃣ Strategic ⏱ 2 years+ ❓ What will I need in the future?  🤔 What new skills are needed to compete in the market? 🤔 How do I create a sustainable pipeline of leaders? 🤔 How do I feed my entry-level roles?

Is your TA strategy sustainable? To build a future-ready and sustainable TA function, it's essential to use a model that's both flexible and scalable. In traditional models, companies often get stuck in cycles of expanding their in-house teams to meet hiring demands, only then to face the need for redundancies when demand drops. Our embedded consultancy model can help you break this cycle 🔄 The new target operating model is to maintain a small but powerful in-house team, focused on long-term strategies that drive impact — these people stay, no matter the macroeconomic cycle! 😉 This approach is supported by leveraging flexible resources to navigate demand peaks.
