**


The talent acquisition landscape is shifting from traditional resumes to outcome-oriented measures of success. AI offers scale for repetitive tasks like interview scheduling, but "human-in-the-loop" oversight remains critical for mitigating legal risk and organizational bias.


In this episode, Travis Windling of Royal Bank of Canada explains why human-centered skills like adaptability and critical thinking now provide the primary competitive advantage as routine work gets automated. Ultimately, strategic transformation requires organizations to rearchitect foundational workflows before layering on advanced AI.
