Matt Alder
About this episode

The talent acquisition landscape is fundamentally transforming. AI and automation are eliminating repetitive tasks and creating space for recruiters to become true strategic partners. This shift demands that TA professionals evolve beyond transaction-focused activities to provide consultative guidance backed by data and their unique expertise. 


So, how can TA leaders successfully guide their teams through this transformation from transactional order takers to valued talent advisors?


My guest this week is Mike Aronson, Global Head of Talent Acquisition Operations at Johnson Controls. With over 20 years of experience in talent acquisition evolution, Mike shares practical insights on leading transformational change and proactively planning for the future.


In the interview, we discuss:


  • The shifting power dynamic in TA


  • The current impact of AI


  • Elevating the skills of TA Teams to be more strategic


  • Change mindset instead of change management


  • How do Talent Advisors add value to the business?


  • The critical importance of skills-based hiring


  • How can TA Leaders drive transformation?


  • Building a hyper-personalized recruiting experience 


  • What does the future look like?
