One of the biggest disruptions coming from AI is, and will be, the way we learn. Corporate L&D departments are all over this, of course. Or better be. Harsh reality is we, as trainees, almost always outpace the Trainer through the learning curve and end up bored to tears. And…
Disruption is disrupting my thinking. We are looking at disruption in a very flawed way. #OpenAI has made a strategic bet that by moving to the top of the incumbent food chain, they are in best position to "disrupt" the current domination by the very incumbents that cannot…
How will disruption happen this time around? That question has been on my mind having watched first hand how disruption has occurred in my lifetime. The incumbent is the one that gets disrupted. The newcomer does the disrupting. It is never, that I can think of, the case in…
Age-ism is on the rise. The anger hurled at older people right now is stunning. And nearly zero jobs are being offered to the older workers by the younger managers.
Sometimes it is simply best to be prepared. I think 2026 could be a surprisingly good year for hiring demand, and many firms are not fully prepared. Many have decimated their TA function. If a hiring turnaround happens, it will come at us Fast! Therefore, it is best to be…
Trading Freedom for Safety was the worst deal in human history. And has left us very unsafe.
Prediction. AI Avatar interview systems will fail. The immediate Candidate Experience when encountering a Bot interview is negative. Even if the UX is Ok, candidates are left with a feeling that the company must have replaced a Human with this Bot so what will protect me? The…
Saturday Morning coffee..... I am reading a novel. Kind of a mindless suspense work of fiction. Pretty good though. I picked it up a few days ago. Looked at it. Put it back down. Picked it back up. Opened the cover and began reading. What the heck. Give it a try. I used to…
AI Audits will become very important very soon. Blockchain is the best platform to create secure reliable audit procedures. Do you know where your Bots are? selfient.xyz
The TA Thought Leaders have launched a Youtube channel where we post the recordings of our monthly calls. Sparks are flying. youtube.com/@TAThoughtLead…
Experience matters most when the stakes are highest. The stakes will be highest when companies wake up in early 2026 and realize they must hire to compete with the other companies that have started hiring. Once one company starts hiring they all will. All at once. And they…
It would be really helpful if DC would grasp how hard it is out here for the Middle Class. Again. Forever. Once again all attention goes to the extremes and forgets those who actually pay the taxes.
This Thursday the TA Thought Leaders deconstruct the Mobley vs. Workday AI Discrimination. If you are in HR, TA or general business leadership you will want to get caught up with this landmark case as it unfolds. Register here - tally.so/r/mOBLNK
When did silence become speech? When did the non-answer become an answer? Well, in 1787. The US Constitution laid out numerous protections and it started with Freedom of Expression. The First Amendment. It was the First thing on the Framers mind. medium.com/@dpollard1102/…
The path forward for Talent Acquisition is to depart from our historical role and completely re-invent the function. First step is to move our thinking way upstream. All the way back to Product Development and Beta views of the business. Get in the rooms with those people. NOW!…
2026 is upon us....and I am very bullish for hiring. Right on schedule as it was in every other cyclical or digital disruption.... medium.com/@dpollard1102/…
2026 will be a ride. There is a lot of uncertainty out there. For good reason. Technical Disruption like this comes along about every 20 years or so. 1960s - IBM 360 1980s - Client/Server/PC 2000s - Internet/Web 2.0 2020s - AI/Web 3 Every single time there is massive…
