In TaPod's final episode of the 2024 Summer Series, It's Craig's pick... and he takes us back to a fascinating catch up with the brilliant Hung Lee to discuss how candidates are gaming the system with AI. This is one of the most interesting podcasts we’ve ever done. It’s thought-provoking and gives us a window into the (not too distant future). Hung always shares some very ‘left field’ thoughts like AI fulfilling the majority of the recruitment process from both sides – interacting back and forth before humans get involved – but where does that leave us? Are we entering the Age of the Terminator?Thanks to TaPod Connect for your support... Building a TA Team? reach out to TaPod Connect.

Stu spends his days now dedicated to helping people who have been in jail get a second chance… and find a bridge back to employment.In an environment where many industries just can’t find talent there is a ready-made workforce here to consider.Stu’s story is compelling and is a lesson in how anyone’s life can go off the rails… it’s what you do next that counts.

We caught up with Dom Price from Atlassian at the HR and L&D Innovation Techfest. Dom is a Work Futurist and TED Speaker and quite simply we could listen to him all day. But in Dom’s own words nothing he says holds any value unless you take action. So bolt in for the next 40 minutes, turn the mirror on yourself, ‘remove stuff’ and make change… Dom makes it easy.Lauren also admits to being 50% bogan Australian… she was probably being a little conservative.Thanks to RefApp for your brilliant support this month
