Building a Winning Team with AI: The Future of Talent Management | Alexandra Levit

The Disrupted Workforce

DETAILS | Can AI massively reinvent hiring, help close the skills gap and create better, more satisfying job matches for all of us? That’s what we asked Alexandra Levit, a brilliant Wall Street Journal reporter, 8x author, successful entrepreneur, and futurist. She also wrote a razor-sharp and practical book on the topic (launching the same day as this episode): Deep Talent: How to Transform Your Organization and Empower Your Employees Through AI. In This fascinating conversation, Alexandra discusses the promise of AI in reimagining talent and talent pools in ways that were previously impossible, as well as her insider’s view of one of the premier Talent Intelligence platforms, Eightfold.ai. Alexandra authentically shares her career journey, how she crashed and had to pivot to find her calling and gift in strategic foresight. Her cogent perspective on what we all must do to continuously adapt our skills and mindset in the digital age is “must-hear advice” for every professional looking to become irreplaceable. And, lastly, why this is the best time in history to be in the workforce!
