It's the start of a new season and a new year and what better way to kick off Tea Time S09 than discussing the topic of ethics in AI recruitment...Honestly, a topic I haven't seen too much about so when Astghik Gapoyan (Senior Talent Acquisition Manager) mentioned it, I was immediately hooked.AI is woven in so much of our lives but are we really thinking of the ethics behind it's usage, especially in the context of talent acquisition.This episode is more focused on getting you thinking that driving any certain action, it's about posing and pondering. It's one of those talks that I firmly believe should be front and centre of all our minds, especially in leadership roles.Watch, listen and enjoy!

In this season finale of Tea Time with Talent Acquisition, I’m going solo to tackle one of the biggest challenges in recruitment right now: when efficiency and structure stop serving people.

After 12 years helping teams build hiring systems that actually work, I’ve seen what happens when process becomes the bottleneck and how a few small changes can completely transform candidate experience and speed to hire.

In this episode, I break down:

🔵 The warning signs your process is costing you great hires.

🔵 How to balance control with connection and automation with authenticity.

🔵 Real examples of where teams went wrong and how they fixed it.

🔵 Practical ways to make your process more human without losing structure.

Recruitment is a people business but somewhere along the way, process took the driver’s seat.

This episode is your reminder to take it back.

How can professionals rethink their careers, build visibility, and find momentum when they feel stuck?

I sat down with returning guest and friend to the show Andreea Lungulescu, Founder of The Principal Recruiter and Talent Crunch Berlin, to dive into the practical and human side of career growth, especially in times of uncertainty.

Within our call, we spoke about...

🔵 How to rethink your career using ‘career archetypes’ and identify what’s truly transferable.

🔵 Why visibility often matters more than perfection and how to show up without only “selling your soul online.”

🔵 Practical ways to move forward when feeling stalled, from missed promotions to navigating “what’s next.”

Andreea’s perspective is a reminder that careers aren’t linear, and with the right frameworks and mindset, you can take back control and build clarity for the next chapter.

A must-listen for anyone ready to rethink their path and unlock new opportunities!

I sat down with Mykhailo Shpygotskyi, Team Lead for Global Tech Recruiting at Flix, to focus in on how we can build teams that influence across the business, helping to evolve the role we have within talent for our own careers and future generations.

🔵 Developing the team through opportunities.

🔵 The glue role of recruitment leadership.

Automation isn’t about replacing recruiters, it’s about giving us the time and space to do what we do best: connect with people.

In the latest Tea Time with Talent Acquisition, Dominic Joyce, Senior Talent Acquisition Lead at Bauer Media, shares how his mantra “automate the mundane, humanise the experience” is transforming the way TA teams work.

Within the discussion we cover:

🔵 Why recruiters should see AI as their co-pilot, not their replacement.

🔵 How to free up time from admin-heavy tasks and reinvest it in conversations with candidates and stakeholders.

🔵 Practical ways AI can improve intake meetings, job adverts, and candidate communications.

🔵 Why human empathy, storytelling, and credibility will always sit at the heart of great recruiting.

Dominic has been in the industry for over a decade, he has worked with top organisations like HSBC, Klarna and now Bauer Media his approach to this episode was with a grounded mindset looking at practical insights into how individual talent professionals and teams can embrace AI without losing what makes us human.
