Ep 534: AI & Executive Search

The potential impact of AI on Talent Acquisition is 2023's biggest talking point, but what impact will these new technologies have on relationship-driven hiring at the top of organizations?

Will AI disrupt executive search or just provide a better toolset? At the same time, how are the next generation of leaders thinking about their careers as we move further into an AI-driven future?

My guest this week is Bill Hogenauer, a Partner at JM Search. Bill specializes in placing C-Level Technology executives, and it was great to get his insights into the current state and likely future direction of Executive Search.

In the interview, we discuss:

• The current market for tech talent

• How market conditions are fueling innovation

• Partnerships, not transactions

• The impact of AI
