Episode Blurb:  Your next top hire may just be someone already on your team or your colleague from another department. You just haven't spotted them yet.  Tigran Sloyan, co-founder and CEO of agentic skills intelligence platform CodeSignal, makes the case for "skillspotting" — a term he coined for seeing what people can actually do, not what their job titles and resumes suggest. Explore the real cost of overlooking skills, from failed hires and mismatched project teams to cultures where power dynamics outrank proficiency.   This episode dives into how AI is reshaping the tasks behind every role, changing which skills matter most, and making skillspotting possible at scale.  Subscribe to the All Things Work newsletter to get the latest episodes, expert insights, and additional resources delivered straight to your inbox: https://shrm.co/fg444d    ---  Explore SHRM’s all-new flagships.

Episode Blurb:  Generative AI can spin up a polished cover letter in seconds, so what are employers still using it to screen for? Kat Kibben, founder and CEO of Three Ears Media, unpacks why the cover letter isn't really dead — it's just misunderstood.  Diving into their personal experience working with recruiters in various industries, Kibben shares how better job postings, structured interviews, and skills-first scorecards help employers cut bias at the top of the funnel, define what "good" candidate actually means, and make hiring decisions grounded in evidence instead of gut instinct.  Subscribe to the All Things Work newsletter to get the latest episodes, expert insights, and additional resources delivered straight to your inbox: https://shrm.co/fg444d    ---  Explore SHRM’s all-new flagships.

Episode Blurb:  New leaders often check every box: training, workshops, and even a coach. Yet many still feel unprepared for the moment real decisions land on their desk.  Alex Marcus and Jamie Albers, co-CEOs and co-founders of Mento, a member of SHRM’s 2026 WorkplaceTech Accelerator cohort, explain why traditional coaching models are hitting a wall — and how pairing certified coaches with AI-powered insights closes the gap between mindset work and measurable business impact. They break down their 80/20 coaching philosophy, share where AI strengthens the human connection instead of replacing it, and flag exactly where organizations need to move carefully.  Subscribe to the All Things Work newsletter to get the latest episodes, expert insights, and additional resources delivered straight to your inbox: https://shrm.co/fg444d    ---  Explore SHRM’s all-new flagships.

Good intentions are no longer enough when it comes to supporting inclusion & diversity in your organization. In this new era shaped by shifting enforcement and rising incivility, the leaders who thrive treat I&D like any other core business process — measured, documented, and built to last.  Carolynn Johnson, president of SHRM's Center for I&D and acting CEO of SHRM Linkage, brings clarity to a topic buried in confusion. She explains what's really changing with I&D at the federal level, why the laws themselves haven’t moved, and how HR can respond with confidence instead of fear.  Subscribe to the All Things Work newsletter to get the latest episodes, expert insights, and additional resources delivered straight to your inbox: https://shrm.co/fg444d    ---  Explore SHRM’s all-new flagships.
