  Can You Boycott AI and Still Have a Career?

  Sep 24, 202626 minS3

  Two candidates. Two withdrawals. And the same concern: they weren’t comfortable working for an organisation that uses AI. In this episode of Edan Haddock – Total Talent , Edan explores a question we’re probably going to hear much more often: Can you boycott AI and still have a career? From legitimate concerns around creativity, the environment, privacy and job displacement, to the reality that AI is rapidly becoming embedded in the everyday technology organisations use, this episode looks at what happens when personal values collide with the changing world of work. Could “AI-free” workplaces become a genuine niche? Could refusing to work alongside AI eventually limit employability? And perhaps most importantly, can we embrace technology while actually becoming more human , not less? No guests. No sponsors. Just a conversation about one of the more complicated questions emerging from Workforce 5.0. ️ 30 Days. 30 Episodes. One Mission.

  When the World Stops: The Capacity Problem Talent Has Normalised

  Sep 17, 202627 minS3

  After an unexpected two-week break following the loss of his father-in-law and a sudden trip to Scotland, Edan returns with a personal follow-up to his recent episode on capacity planning. What happens when the person spinning all the plates suddenly has to stop? Talent teams are managing interviews, candidates, hiring managers, offers, inboxes and the constant pressure to deliver a great candidate experience. AI is helping us carry more than ever, but has it actually created capacity? Or has it simply exposed how under-resourced Talent has been for decades? This episode explores productivity versus overload, the need for genuine headroom, and why AI should help us do better, not simply do more. Because sometimes the world stops. Our Talent functions need to be designed for when it does. ️ 30 Days. 30 Episodes. One Mission.

  I Don’t Want a Promotion: Have We Completely Misunderstood Ambition?

  Aug 27, 202629 minS3

  What if your best employee doesn’t want your job? In this episode of Edan Haddock – Total Talent , Edan challenges one of the most deeply embedded assumptions in the workplace: that ambition means moving up. What about the person who wants mastery, impact, purpose or simply a great life outside of work? And what if an exceptional candidate tells you upfront they only want to stay for a year or two? Drawing on Movember’s employer brand, “DO GOOD – Work For Movember,” Edan explores why shorter tenure doesn’t necessarily mean a bad hire, why retention might be the wrong measure of success, and why organisations need to get much more comfortable with talented people choosing their own definition of ambition. Maybe ambition was never the problem. Maybe our definition of it was. ️ 30 Days. 30 Episodes. One Mission.

  Future-Proofing Talent Acquisition: 5 Capabilities I’d Build Right Now

  Aug 21, 202630 minS3

  The Talent Acquisition industry is nervous. Teams are shrinking, redundancies are happening, AI is accelerating and some of the work recruiters have traditionally owned is changing fast. So what do you do about it? In this episode, Edan Haddock argues that the answer isn’t to protect the traditional TA role. It’s to expand beyond it. Edan breaks down five capabilities internal Talent professionals should start building now to remain relevant and valuable in Workforce 5.0, from remuneration and salary benchmarking to workforce planning, talent management, data and designing work across humans and technology. Because the future may not belong to the person who is best at filling vacancies. It may belong to the person who can help the business decide whether a vacancy should exist in the first place. Don’t protect your role. Expand your capability. ️ 30 Days. 30 Episodes. One Mission.

  Your Name Is the Brand: When Personal and Professional Identity Collide

  Aug 13, 202634 minS3

  Where does your professional brand end and your personal brand begin? In this episode, Edan Haddock explores how those lines are rapidly disappearing. Our opinions, expertise, personality, employers, online presence and professional reputation increasingly exist in the same place. But as personal branding becomes an industry of its own, have we started confusing visibility with credibility ? Edan challenges the obsession with followers, algorithms and manufactured authenticity, explores how employees and employer brands are becoming increasingly connected, and looks at what AI-generated content could mean for the value of genuine human voice. Because your job title belongs to your employer. Your reputation belongs to you. If your job title disappeared tomorrow, what would people still know you for? No guests. No sponsors. Just an on-the-tools perspective on Talent, People and the future of work. ️ 30 Days. 30 Episodes. One Mission.
