Decoding the C-Suite: Part 1 -The Thesis

The organisations genuinely driving AI change in talent all have one thing in common: alignment with the C-suite. Decoding the C-Suite is a five part miniseries from Recruiting Future exploring how leadership really thinks about AI. Recorded over one day with the leadership team at SmartRecruiters, seven months into their acquisition by SAP, the series unpacks AI through five lenses: the thesis, the people, the money, the product and the market. If you want to understand the conversations happening around your own leadership table, and how to win them, this series is for you.

In the opening episode, the tables are turned as SmartRecruiters’ Allyn Bailey interviews Matt on the future of talent acquisition. Matt shares his honest assessment of the outdated stories the industry keeps telling itself, why mental models matter more than systems, how candidates are already breaking recruiting, and a prediction about AI agents talking to AI agents that he’s prepared to be held to. It sets the agenda for the four leadership conversations that follow.

Matt Alder is a talent acquisition futurist and the host of Recruiting Future, one of the world's most popular talent acquisition podcasts. He has over 25 years of experience across talent acquisition and talent strategy, works with enterprise TA and HR leaders on AI readiness, has delivered keynotes in 18 countries, and is the co-author of Exceptional Talent and Digital Talent.
