Recruiting Future is a podcast that helps Talent Acquisition teams drive measurable impact by developing their strategic capability in Foresight, Influence, Talent, and Technology. 


This episode is about Influence and Technology.


When employers invest in talent acquisition technology, they are expecting efficiency gains and improved hiring outcomes. Yet, many organizations find themselves struggling with implementations that fail to deliver promised results and don't align with the organization's broader business objectives. So, what's the key to building transformation strategies that actually work and provide the measurable value that TA teams need?


My guest this week is Sarah Smart, Co-Founder of HorizonHuman. Sarah is a former TA leader who now consults with enterprises around digital transformation. She has seen both the successes and failures of large-scale technology implementations firsthand and has practical insights to share on what makes the difference between a successful transformation and a costly disappointment.


In the interview, we discuss:

  • The most significant changes in the talent landscape
  • The biggest challenges in TA Transformation
  • Aligning with business objectives
  • Outcomes, measurement, and sustainment
  • Why having a clear vision is critical
  • Developing the mindset for transformation
  • Building a compelling but realistic business plan
  • The skills TA Leaders now need
  • What does the AI-driven future look like
