Host: Mervyn Dinnen

Guest: Felix Wetzel, VP of Product Management, Cielo

In this podcast interview Mervyn talks with Felix Wetzel, VP of Product Management at HR Services company Cielo, about how AI can help HR and talent acquisition teams shift from process-driven to more consultative, human-centric approaches.

- AI's potential to transform recruiters into talent strategists

- Potential risk that using AI could reinforce biases

- What does the best AI-Human integration look like

- Shifting from process-driven approaches to more consultative, human approaches
