In this episode, I sit down with Jake Kimber, an international TA leader whose career journey from selling concrete to leading global talent teams ,perfectly captures how unpredictably we often discover our true path. Jake opens up about falling into recruitment, shifting from agency to in-house, and why empathy, creativity, and real human connection still matter more than ever in today’s AI-driven hiring landscape.
We explore how AI is reshaping the recruiter’s day, the rising importance of soft skills, and the overdue marriage between talent acquisition and talent management. Jake shares candid insights on internal mobility, skills development, and the responsibility organizations and universities share in preparing people for the future of work. His honesty, optimism, and data-backed perspective make this a conversation that will stay with you long after you listen.
