AI and the New Rules of Talent Acquisition

What if the resume was never really a talent document to begin with? In this episode of HIRED by iimjobs & All Things Talent, we unpack this with a talent leader who doesn’t just talk about AI in hiring; she calls out what the current hiring model has been quietly getting wrong for years. From why resumes sort for familiarity (not capability), to how recruiters must now become career coaches, ethical gatekeepers, and strategic advisors in an AI-powered world, this conversation is honest, sharp, and a little uncomfortable in the best way.  If you work in hiring, HR, or leadership, or you’re a candidate trying to make sense of today’s job market, this one will change how you think about talent.
