Most employers now recognise that banning or detecting AI usage is more likely to damage diversity than help your process. But how exactly do you embrace AI? And how can you clearly communicate this with applicants? HMRC recently published, ‘Understanding Artificial Intelligence in your job application’ for candidates, which provides clear guidelines on exactly how to use AI within the application process while also demonstrating how important it is for applicants to stand out, because ‘using a generic AI-generated response isn’t going to separate you from the crowd”.Siobhan Stericker, Talent Insights and AI Lead at HM Revenue and Customs is the brains behind these new guidelines that are challenging the way that organisations view candidate usage of AI.

If you thought AI's impact on recruitment was limited to a few CVs and cover letters, think again. Gen Z candidates have access to more tools and learning resources than ever — and they’re using them to shift the balance of power in their favour. But are recruiters ready to meet this wave of innovation –– with a clear plan and transparent communication about what that plan looks like?In this episode of TA Disruptors, host Robert Newry is joined by Shoshanna Davis and Holly Hobbs, to discuss how Gen Z sees the world of work, why employers are missing the mark, and how AI has become both a bridge and a barrier.Shoshanna Davis is founder of Fairy Job Mother, and is on a mission to empower young people with the skills and confidence they need for impactful careers, while giving managers the understanding and tools to engage, inspire, and elevate the next generation of leaders. She manages a community of 20,000+ young people and advises companies like M&S, BT and Diageo. Holly Hobbs is Founder of Apprentivia - The Early Talent Employer Branding Agency that specialises in helping employers attract & develop Gen-Z apprentices through social media; as well as managing a community of 40,000 young people.

And the reality is, when it comes to using AI in the recruitment process, it can be impossible to tell what good looks like. ⚡ ChatGPT in job applications: Cheat code or toolkit?55% of Holly’s Gen Z community use ChatGPT to apply for jobs. From rewording clunky CVs to acing online tests, they’re turning to AI to fill the gaps where career mentoring and guidance have failed them. But are recruiters prepared to engage with these AI-enabled candidates?🤔 The transparency trap: Recruiters, take noteEmployers say, “be yourself,” but what does that mean to Gen Z candidates? Holly and Shoshanna highlight how some well-worn guidance is confusing for Gen Z candidates, and what emplyers can do about it. 🛠 Actionable insights for TA leadersDefine your AI policy now: Sitting on the fence isn’t an option. Decide if candidates can use AI tools and explain how.Be specific about your processes: If your recruitment involves AI or automation, tell applicants how it’s used.

AI has brought about a DDoS attack on recruitment. What do we do about it? Martyn Redstone talks shifting power dynamics, assessing AI capability, and the cost of inaction.If your technical team faced a DDoS attack — an onslaught of overwhelming traffic designed to disrupt your systems — how would you expect them to respond? Would you expect them to freeze and do nothing? Or take proactive steps to address the vulnerability and reimagine their processes to not only prevent future risks, but to make their processes better?According to Martyn Redstone, founder of PPLBots and co-founder of genAssess, AI tools are doing to recruitment what a DDoS attack does to company websites — overloading them with applications and upending the balance of power between recruiters and candidates. With new AI tools enabling mass-personalised applications submitted at scale, recruitment have to do something differently if they stand any chance of managing candidate volumes while fairly assessing their true capability. And reclaiming control of the recruitment process. In this week’s episode of the TA Disruptors podcast, Martyn joins Robert as they discuss:💡 The shift in power dynamics: AI tools like ChatGPT have given candidates the ability to mass-personalize CVs, cover letters, and applications with near-flawless precision — upending the recruiter-candidate relationship. What happens when candidates wield the same power recruiters once held? 🤖 The Fight, Freeze, or Friend framework: How recruitment teams are reacting to the rise of AI🎓 Rethinking what we select for: Why banning AI in recruitment is at odds with workplace realities. If organisations expect employees to use AI on the job, why exclude candidates who use it during recruitment? 🔍 Practical steps for the future of recruitment: Martyn shares actionable advice for how recruiters can:Automate low-value tasks like CV screening without falling into the trap of “black box” decision-making.Build transparency and governance into their processes to comply with AI regulations like GDPR and the EU AI Act.Focus on hiring candidates with AI-enablement skills, ensuring they can use generative AI tools productively and responsibly from day one.🚀 Why recruiters must lead the AI transformation: AI is here to stay, and Martyn predicts a seismic shift in recruitment over the next 5-10 years.But the recruiters who thrive will be those who embrace AI, use it to drive productivity, and refocus their efforts on high-value tasks like relationship building and strategic hiring decisions. This episode is essential listening for anyone navigating the challenges of AI in recruitment—whether you’re overwhelmed by AI-enabled applications or looking to future-proof your hiring processes.

Since the COVID pandemic accelerated reliance on unsupervised ‘take-home exams’, the education system has found itself with a fundamental problem –– one which has only been exacerbated by the recent rise in easily-accessible AI tools like ChatGPT. And new research shows just how great the scale and impact of the problem is for the education system and Early Careers teams alike. Dr Peter Scarfe, Associate Professor, and Dr Etienne Roesch, Professor of Applied Statistics & Cognitive Science, both at the University of Reading, are two of the minds behind a recent groundbreaking study which proved just how easy it is for students to not only use AI in exams but to outperform real students. And most importantly –– evade AI detection in the process. Join Robert, Peter and Etienne for the first episode of our new season of the TA Disruptors podcast on the impact of the AI-enabled candidate on recruitment. Our guests dive into:💡 The details behind the study in which 94% of fake, ChatGPT-generated submissions for five modules in a BSc Psychology degree went completely undetected (and performed half a grade higher than the average student) –– even with simple copy-paste answers and no advanced prompting🤖​  Why detecting AI usage is notoriously difficult and what this means for universities, Early Careers teams, and hiring managers when it comes to ensuring their assessment process is fair, accurate, and maintains its integrity 🎓 Why reverting to traditional invigilated exams or proctored assessments isn’t a sustainable solution –– and how universities are already ahead of employers in rethinking their assessment process to embrace AI rather than treating it as a threat.🧠 What these findings mean for talent acquisition: as graduates increasingly rely on AI to boost their results, how should recruiters and hiring managers adapt their processes to evaluate candidate capabilities fairly? 🔮 The broader implications of AI for education and recruitment, and how we can expect advances in tech to reshape the future of work and learning foreverIf you want to understand just how difficult it is to detect AI, both from a human perspective and also a software perspective, and just how severe the implications are for the world of Talent Acquisition and Early Careers recruitment, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss. We promise this will be the most valuable podcast episode you listen to this week.And don’t forget to hit ‘subscribe’ to be sure not to miss more episodes of the TA Disruptors podcast. Thanks for listening, and here are some helpful links:Connect with Robert on LinkedIn:https://hubs.li/Q0282KjJ0  Connect with Peter on LinkedIn:https://hubs.li/Q02W8xs40 Connect with Etienne on LinkedIn:https://hubs.li/Q02W8xwy0 Download new research on the state of the AI-enabled candidate in 2024-25:https://hubs.li/Q02W8w3J0 Sign up for the TA Disruptors newsletter - it's the easiest way to be updated with the industry’s brightest ideas and the freshest need-to-know data - every week:https://hubs.li/Q0282H370   Hosted on Acast.

There’s been a lot of debate recently about whether AI changes what we need to select for, to predict candidate success. But the reality is that most companies have needed to reframe how they select for quite some time. At the end of 2022, Arctic Shores’ Senior Psychometrician Luke Montouri and Senior Applied Psychologist Sanchia Dennis set out to review a huge data set with one key objective –– to understand which skills, competencies, and behaviours would be most predictive of candidate success in the “future of work”. And to establish how psychometric assessment measures would need to evolve to select for them. What they uncovered is as true today as it was back in 2022 –  and the advancement of Generative AI has made it even more urgent for talent acquisition teams to rethink how they select.In this episode, Luke and Sanchia join Robert to unpack the research and science they used to update the Arctic Shores assessment model, and the wider implications of their findings for TA teams. Listen to learn:📊  What the three factors most predictive of success in an AI-enabled workplace are –– according to an extensive analysis of data from the likes of McKinsey and the World Economic Forum; customer competency frameworks; and a decade’s worth of data-informed by 3 million candidate assessments (including subsequent workplace performance) 💡 Why evaluating Skill-enablers™ –– the core human traits that inform our ability to acquire new skills, navigate change, and adapt –– is (mostly) mission-critical for any employer from today. And when you might not want to evaluate a candidate’s Skill-enablers™ 🚀 A deep dive into what the Skill-enabler™ model is – and why evaluating traits that go beyond technical capabilities to assess interpersonal abilities, self-management, and decision-making is essential in the age of the AI-enabled workplace🔍 And why we need to move beyond the traditional five-factor model to unlock new ways to understand and assess potential –– plus insights into why we need to rethink how we measure cognitive ability (and the issues with traditional approaches)Dive in to understand more about the data that is shaping the future of talent acquisition and how organisations’ should be thinking about identifying high-potential candidates in a fast-changing world.Don’t forget to hit ‘subscribe’ to catch more episodes of the Arctic Shores podcast, and download The Arctic Shores Skill-enabler™ companion guide here: https://hubs.li/Q02Q4QCB0 Thanks for listening, and here are some helpful links:Connect with Robert on LinkedIn:https://hubs.li/Q0282KjJ0  Connect with Luke on LinkedIn:https://hubs.li/Q02RYVZs0 Connect with Sanchia on LinkedIn:https://hubs.li/Q02RYVZk0 Sign up for the TA Disruptors newsletter:https://hubs.li/Q0282H370  ________________________All brought to you from the team behind Arctic Shores.

You’re interested in scrapping the CV, hiring for potential, and rolling out a skills-based hiring approach beyond early careers. But you’re TERRIFIED about how to actually do it. Maybe you’ve done pretty much everything you can think of to improve the diversity of your talent pool and you’re moving the needle, but it’s not happening FAST enough.Or maybe you’re just curious about how one of the most pioneering TA leaders our industry has to offer has managed to achieve a 75% female shortlist in a traditionally male-dominated industry? Is a shortlist so good, he could have hired 50% of it? And got hiring managers coming to him asking if they could roll out CV-less hiring rather than resisting it?Well, you’ve come to the right place. This week, Robert is speaking to Joe Sidley –– Head of Talent Acquisition for EMEA and APAC at Molson Coors –– who is sharing his lessons learned on how…🌱 To move from using skills-based hiring only for Early Careers to delivering a wider scale pilot and rollout for more experienced hires, how to establish which roles CV-less hiring is relevant for, and how to adapt your process for different roles 🙌 To ease hiring manager fears, help them embrace CV-less hiring, and convince them to put their faith in something other than the document they’ve been relying on for over 150 years 🔮 To collaborate effectively with both DEI attraction partners to L&D set yourself up for success from attraction to onboarding to ongoing development 🌊 To create a ripple effect –– so you can hit improvement metrics just like Joe did, and have people stopping you in the corridor to ask how you made a transformational change and how they can get involved And don’t forget to hit ‘subscribe’ to be sure not to miss more episodes of the TA Disruptors podcast. Thanks for listening, and here are some helpful links:Connect with Robert on LinkedIn:https://hubs.li/Q0282KjJ0  Connect with Joe on LinkedIn:https://hubs.li/Q02xxpW60 Download this data-backed report on the Impact of Generative AI on recruitment and why it will make traditional selection processes redundant:https://hubs.li/Q0282Gbq0 Sign up for the TA Disruptors newsletter - it's the easiest way to be updated with the industry’s brightest ideas and the freshest need-to-know data - every week:https://hubs.li/Q0282H370  Follow us on Linkedin: https://hubs.li/Q0282J5c0  Hosted on Acast.

Have you been considering making the switch to skills-based hiring but feel terrified about trying to persuade your hiring managers to let go of experience-based hiring and stop using the CV as a comfort blanket? Can you see roles where you’re facing a skills shortage or where candidates seem like a good fit on paper but are missing critical qualities in the interview stage? Do you know that your candidate experience should be better, but need a hand convincing your stakeholders that CV-less hiring could be the key to sourcing exceptional talent who are MORE excited to work for you? If you answered yes to any of the above, grab a coffee and your headphones.This week, Robert is speaking to James Higgins, Head of Systems Delivery – Systems GB&I at Siemens Electrification & Automation, about his experience of being their first hiring manager outside Early Careers to pilot CV-less, skills-based hiring. Robert also dives into a conversation with one of the first candidates Siemens EA hired through this process, Senior Project Engineer – Martin Hudson, to capture his reflections on what it was like to be part of a CV-less hiring process and why more businesses should embrace this approach. In this episode, uncover insights like:🚀 How Siemens EA formed an innovation squad featuring an executive stakeholder, a hiring manager, and their TA leaders to make the case for CV-less hiring and win people over –– and the pitch they made to turn people from sceptics to advocates 📈 How lowering the barrier to entry for candidates by removing the CV actually resulted in a 5X increase in application volume, an uplift in candidate quality, and a more diverse talent pool –– with the end result being 8 exceptional candidates shortlisted (3 hired) who never would have made it through the previous sifting process🧠 How the Siemens EA team practically evolved their process –– from rethinking the core human traits and skills they really needed to select for to plug existing skill gaps, to rethinking how they advertised, to the role of the task-based psychometric assessment in uncovering candidate potential 💡The unexpected benefits of hiring candidates from alternative industries and talent pools that James and his team uncovered, why he’d have adopted CV-less hiring earlier if he could, and his views on hiring for attitude and behaviours vs skills, which specialisms can be taught vs which can be acquired, and which roles skills-based CV-less hiring can be used for 🤖  A candidate’s perspective on what a CV-less hiring process feels like, how task-based assessments create a value-add experience, and the power of offering feedback; how to adapt your interview process to ease anxiety and make candidates feel more motivated to work for you; and what candidates with no industry experience expect from the onboarding process A big thank you to James and Martin for sharing their views with us.Don’t forget to rate it and hit ‘subscribe’.Download the The pragmatist’s playbook for skills-based hiring:https://hubs.li/Q02x2Y0V0 Sign up for the TA Disruptors newsletter:https://hubs.li/Q0282H370  Talent acquisition is changing faster than it ever has before.
