Show notes

The role of AI and machine learning in recruiting technology continues to provoke both debate and confusion.

To help answer these questions, in the next two episodes of the show I'll be asking two genuine experts in AI for recruiting to share their knowledge.

First up is Megan Butler, a research analyst in AI for HR. Megan was part of my live panel back in episode 200, so it is brilliant to have the chance to talk to her in more depth.

In the interview, we discuss:

My guest this week is Charu Malhotra, a highly experienced global employer branding leader.

In the interview, we discuss:

My superb guests, my fabulous sponsors and most of all, everyone who has listened, subscribed, recommended, shared and given me feedback. The story doesn't end here, I've got some big plans for the future and as some fantastic guests lined up for the coming months.
