AI is helping candidates
 so why does hiring feel harder? Jana Herrmann, Roche's Global Head Integrated Workforce Strategies, answers

AI is making CVs look better than ever — but is it actually making hiring easier? In this episode of leadership lab, Maurice sits down with Jana Herman, Chapter Lead for Integrated Workforce Strategies at Roche (Basel), to break down what’s changing in recruitment right now — and what isn’t. Jana shares why candidates are currently the biggest winners from AI, how hiring teams handle huge application volumes, and why human experts are still doing the screening in many organisations. They also unpack video interviews, internal talent marketplaces, and the long-promised shift to skills-based hiring. Along the way, Jana walks us through her career journey — from growing up in Brazil to studying in Geneva, working as a flight attendant, moving into HR and executive search, and ultimately shaping a global workforce strategy function inside Roche. In this episode: * AI, CV screening, and why “perfect” applications can slow hiring down * How recruiters manage high volumes without losing candidate experience * Video interviews: when they help, when they frustrate * Culture fit vs the “perfect CV” * Internal gigs and talent marketplaces (and the guard rails they need) * Skills-based hiring: big promise, hard execution * Career advice: impact, networks, comfort zones, and why “the right time” is a myth If you enjoyed this conversation, follow leadership lab and share the episode with someone hiring — or job hunting — right now.

Annick Whyte — Vibe coding is the skill no one told you to learn!

Hiring people who are better than you isn’t just good leadership — it’s the point. In this Season 2 opener of Leadership Lab, Maurice sits down with Annick Whyte, Commercial Delivery and Adoption Lead, to unpack what leadership looks like when the pace is fast, the stakes are high, and AI is changing the rules. Annick shares why the real unlock isn’t “better prompts” — it’s vibe coding: building small, fast apps and workflows that prove value quickly, then bringing the business along for the ride. In this episode, we talk about: * Why the best leaders hire people who are better than them (and how to stay secure while doing it) * What “delivery and adoption” actually looks like day-to-day * AI in pharma: where it’s already accelerating work (and where it still gets stuck) * “AI wars”: OpenAI vs Gemini vs Copilot — what shows up when you compare outputs * Moving from commercial to R&D, and why AI drug discovery is the next frontier * Resilience as a leadership advantage (inner compass, clarity, and doing the work) đŸ‘‰đŸ» If you enjoyed this episode, please follow the show and rate leadership lab — it genuinely helps more people find it.
