About This Episode

In the final episode of 2025, Matt and Rhona sit down to gaze into the crystal ball and map out what lies ahead for Talent Acquisition and Human Resources in 2026. This isn't just about buzzwords; it is a deep dive into how the tools we use and the content we create will fundamentally shift the industry landscape. From the practical application of AI software to the existential questions surrounding job security and productivity, the duo tackles the biggest anxieties and opportunities facing recruiting professionals. They discuss the future of the candidate experience and how HR must evolve to stay relevant. Finally, they pivot to the booming creator economy within TA, discussing the future of LinkedIn algorithms, the potential rise of Substack for industry thought leadership, why everyone seems to be launching a podcast, and why branding yourself as a recruiter through Employee Generated Content (EGC) is no longer optional.
