Description
Technology in HR is booming, yet confusing.
Many vendors claim to include AI (agents), skills, seamless integrations, and other technologies in their product offerings.
In practice, product promises often differ from reality.
In this podcast, our host, Julius Schelstraete, holds no-nonsense conversations with business practitioners and thought leaders on everything related to "the skills-based organization": what it is, whether it's realistic, typical roadblocks, real-life use cases, and more.
Join us as we move beyond the hype and examine skills-based HR from a critical, realistic lens!
