Navigating the AI Revolution in Hiring
<p>In this episode of the ManpowerGroup Work Intelligence Lab podcast, hosts Karla Fletcher and John Julitz discuss how rapidly changing skills and surging job applications are reshaping hiring, and speak with Greg Dunbar of Hubert.ai about the “talent differentiation crisis,” where mass-apply tools and AI-written CVs are making candidates harder to distinguish. </p> <p>Greg shares how Hubert.ai is rethinking hiring by replacing CV screening, application forms, and phone screens with short, structured, skills-based “predictive interviews” delivered via text or voice, designed to be low-stress and completed on candidates’ own time. </p> <p>He explains how poor AI interview experiences can drive candidate drop-off, while Hubert reports high completion rates and strong candidate satisfaction. Greg also discusses AI fatigue, the importance of starting with the problem rather than the technology, and why Hubert uses a hybrid approach combining LLMs for conversational experience with deterministic scoring for fairness, transparency, and compliance with enterprise standards and evolving regulations like the EU AI Act. </p> <p><br /></p> <p><b>Chapters:</b></p> <p>00:00 Intro</p> <p>01:38 Meet Hubert and Greg</p> <p>02:58 Talent Differentiation Crisis</p> <p>05:10 Predictive Interviewing Explained</p> <p>07:29 Candidate Drop Off Myth</p> <p>11:15 AI Fatigue and Education</p> <p>17:25 Safety Fairness and Scoring</p> <p>24:59 Hybrid AI Not LLM Scoring</p> <p>27:42 Noise Regulation and Moats</p> <p>36:48 Human First Recruiting Future</p> <p>39:47 Choosing Vendors and Wrap Up</p> <p><br /></p>

AI Isn't Replacing Workers. Bad Leadership Is.
<p>On the Work Intelligence Lab podcast, John Julitz and Karla Fletcher talk with ManpowerGroup futurist and author of the Workforce Trends report, “The Human Edge,” Alexandra Levit about separating AI hype from reality, including headlines claiming AI could eliminate half of entry-level white-collar jobs. Alex argues that the bigger issue is blunt-force automation and AI “sameness” while emphasizing that large-scale job loss is unlikely, though painful adjustments and rehiring cycles may occur. </p> <p>She promotes work-based learning from an early age to build “pre-industrial” human skills—curiosity, problem-solving, creativity, storytelling, and judgment—arguing technical skills like basic coding will erode first. </p> <p>The discussion covers measuring soft skills via talent intelligence, the US education-to-work disconnect versus Europe’s apprenticeship model, growing interest in trades, and why workers must develop applied AI skills to augment—not replace—their roles. </p>

AI Adoption: Putting Humans at the Center
<p>Deb Cupp, President and Chief Revenue Officer for Microsoft’s Enterprise Business, joins the ManpowerGroup’s Work Intelligence Lab Podcast to discuss why AI adoption varies among employees and clients—and what organizations can do to close the gap. </p> <p>Deb explains that education, understanding, and ongoing skilling are key to reducing fear and uncertainty around AI, helping people recognize the opportunities it creates. She argues that successful AI transformation is not just about the technology itself, but about effective change management, with people at the center and practitioners closest to business challenges helping shape the solutions. </p> <p>She also highlights the importance of combining strong leadership direction with bottom-up momentum, guided by clear ROI and KPIs to ensure organizations focus on meaningful outcomes rather than chasing “shiny objects.” </p> <p>Drawing on real-world examples, Deb shares how Microsoft sales teams use Copilot to prepare for customer conversations and proposals—driving a 9% improvement in outcomes. In healthcare, AI-powered transcription and paperwork automation are reducing administrative fatigue and improving the experience for clinicians by 30–40%. </p> <p><br /></p> <p><b>Chapters:</b> </p> <p>00:00 AI Adoption & Fear of the Unknown </p> <p>02:48 Unexpected Learnings & Change Management </p> <p>05:17 From Productivity to Outcomes </p> <p>07:21 Building Trust in AI Adoption</p> <p><br /></p>
