Matt Alder, host of Recruiting Future podcast, sat down with John Vlastelica to talk about how AI is impacting Talent Acquisition. 

AI has profoundly impacted talent acquisition in 2024, but its influence has been far from uniform. In some areas, little has changed, while in others—such as high-volume hiring—there has been nothing short of a revolution. Automation has dramatically accelerated recruiting processes, improving the candidate and hiring manager experience in ways previously unimaginable. These advancements are signals of what’s to come, with sweeping changes across talent acquisition potentially just months away.

With technology increasingly automating processes, the role of recruiters is evolving, raising urgent questions about what TA teams must do to stay relevant and strategic. Those who fail to adapt risk being left behind as automation reshapes our industry.

So, how can TA leaders and recruiters navigate this transformation, address challenges like bias, and embrace the opportunities AI presents to redefine their roles?

In this Matt Alder's episode, John shares his insights on the key shifts happening in recruiting, the evolving role of recruiters, and how leaders can future-proof their teams in an AI-driven world.

In the interview, they discuss:

• How AI is impacting recruiting right now

• How does it change the jobs we recruit for?

• Unchecked human bias in traditional recruiting process

• Automation in high-volume and front-line hiring

• Segmentation of roles between automated and high-touch recruiting processes

• Inefficiency by design

• From talent acquisition to talent advisor, breaking the silos in HR

• Insights, Influence, and Impact

• Candidate “cheating”

• TA Tech vendors selling directly to the C-Suite

• The importance of having a plan to rationalize TA

• What is going to happen in 2025?
