I sat down with researcher, author, and HR tech analyst Ben Eubanks to talk about the intersection of AI, recruiting, and the future of work. As Chief Research Officer at Lighthouse Research & Advisory and the author of Artificial Intelligence for HR (now in its third edition), Ben brings decades of insight at the crossroads of technology and talent. From hard truths about automation replacing recruiters to hopeful perspectives on human skills that AI can’t touch, this episode is packed with data, stories, and practical takeaways.
Ben shares:
• Why some recruiters are being replaced by AI — and who won’t be
• The five key human skills that will define the recruiter of the future
• His take on the “efficiency vs. people-first” debate in HR
• What it means to move from reactive to proactive talent strategy
But it’s not all AI doom and gloom. We also dive into the culture of work, why behaviors matter more than corporate values, and how bottom-up culture and community can drive retention and performance in today’s workforce.
