The Job Hunt: has the internet traded humanity for efficiency? – Edan Haddock

It was once a very human-centric process, but for so many of us, the internet has transformed looking for work into an automated, opaque, and intensely competitive digital gauntlet. To help us unpack what’s going on, we’re joined by Edan Haddock, Global Head of Talent and People Experience at Movember. We explore the impact of AI on recruitment, the importance of maintaining human connections in virtualinterviews, and the need for personalisation in job applications. We also look at the ethical implications of AI in hiring and the future of recruitment, emphasising the importance of creativity and human-centric approaches in the hiring process. 00:00 The Evolution of Job Hunting in the Digital Age 03:02 The Impact of Technology on Recruitment 06:03 The Human Connection in Virtual Interviews 08:50 Navigating the Job Application Process 11:43 The Role of AI in Recruitment 14:58 Addressing Bias and Ethics in AI Hiring 17:52 The Future of Recruitment: Human-Centric Approaches 21:08 Strategies for Candidates and Employers 23:46 The Importance of Personalisation in Applications 26:52 The Balance of AI and Human Interaction 29:41 Looking Ahead: The Future of Job Searches 32:54 Final Thoughts and Future Directions If you like what you hear, please follow the show, leave a review, or let us know what else you’d like us to look into at ⁠⁠https://www.ruinedbytheinternet.com/⁠⁠
