Description

AI is changing TA roles forever, but can this be a positive, especially as TA teams are being forced to do even more with less?


Meet Emi Beredugo — a talent acquisition pro with over 18 years of experience helping companies find and hire great people. She's worked across the UK, Middle East, and Africa, leading teams and delivering some pretty complex recruiting projects along the way.


These days, Emi’s the Senior Manager of Recruiting Enablement at Elastic, where she heads up a team dedicated to making the recruiting process smoother, smarter, and more inclusive. From AI tools and data to recruitment marketing and onboarding, Emi’s all about driving efficiency and creating a great experience for both candidates and recruiters. And she’s become an expert on AI and how it drives value for recruiting teams.


Join host Robert Newry and guest Emi Beredugo as they discuss:


🤖​ How AI is reshaping the world of Talent Acquisition. And why Emi believes it's not about replacing recruiters but empowering them to focus on the human side of hiring.


💡 How to successfully drive change in your organisation. From getting leadership buy-in to embracing failure as part of the learning process.


🔍The risks of AI in hiring. From unconscious bias to data privacy, plus Emi’s advice on how TA pros can stay informed and responsible.


📈 The growing role of Recruiting Enablement. And how leaders like Emi are helping teams work smarter with better tools, data, and decision-making.


⚡ Why “doing more with less” is leaving little room for strategy. Plus, how TA teams can reclaim time to drive long-term impact.


This episode is packed with insights and actionable learnings for talent acquisition leaders navigating the era of the AI-enabled candidate.
