Up Next at WorkTech: The Resume Isn’t Dead, the Jobs Report Is, and Other HR Tech Headlines
Description
In the premiere of our new bi-weekly crossover series, George LaRocque of the WorkTech and the WorkTech Podcast and Kate Achille of the Devon Group and the Up Next at Work Podcast, team up to bring a sharp, strategic lens to the headlines shaping HR and Work Tech. From the quiet but consequential developments in the Workday Mobley case to the missing BLS jobs report and the viral return of resume “cheating,” they unpack what’s real, what’s hype, and what it all means for practitioners, vendors, and investors. They also touch on the latest M&A moves, including SAP’s plans for SmartRecruiters, and the investor sentiment shift that’s making Q4 feel a lot like 2021. Plus: Sora, AI avatars, and a John Candy documentary to end on a high note.
Topics Covered:
- Workday Mobley case update and implications for employers
