Agentic AI in Talent Acquisition: Are We Ready?

Edan Haddock - Total Talent 🇦🇺

In this episode of Edan Haddock – Total Talent, Edan unpacks the results of a recent LinkedIn poll on Agentic AI in recruitment interviewing – and the Talent Acquisition community is split. While some teams are already using or testing AI tools, nearly half said “No Way.”

Edan explores why this divide exists, the real benefits AI can deliver for candidates – from flexibility and accessibility to fairness and inclusion – and shares how Movember is using its friendly AI agent “Joel” to give candidates the choice between an AI or human-led interview.

Listeners will hear about the diversity impact, examples of AI being used well in the hiring process, the risks and concerns holding leaders back, and Edan’s view on where AI interviewing is heading next – and how to balance innovation with humanity.
