This Week in Talent
This Week in Talent (TWIT) is a weekly column written by Talent Leaders, for Talent Leaders.
Over the course of a year, 12 different leaders from varied industries and company sizes, take turns as guest editors, giving you a rare window into their world. Each editor brings forward what they’re working on, the strategies shaping their teams, tips you can apply, and the pitfalls they’ve learned to avoid. Delivered every Friday, TWIT is a consistent, practical touchpoint grounded in real experience.

At ATC2025, the session “Canva Redesigned Tech Interviews for the AI Era” was a standout example of how hiring practices are catching up with the realities of modern work. I found this session both refreshing and thought-provoking. Canva’s approach challenges the old model of technical interviews by recognising that coding in 2025 isn’t a solo act, it’s a collaboration between humans and AI. Rather than testing memory or syntax, their process evaluates how candidates think, prompt, and problem-solve alongside intelligent tools. It felt like a glimpse into the future of hiring.

The Strategic Workforce Planning session at ATC2025, presented by Chris Hare and Alicia Roach, was one of those moments that made you stop and rethink how your organisation really plans for the future. It unpacked what happens when workforce planning evolves from a numbers exercise to a true business capability - one that connects people, purpose, and performance.
- Andrew Retschko, Jo Vohland
Jo Vohland and Medibank’s Andrew Retschko created interview questions to help HR and Talent Acquisition leaders prepare for a 4-Day Work Week (4DWW) pilot. From system redesign and cross-team alignment to EVP positioning and candidate experience, these questions highlight the leadership skills needed to deliver a successful 4DWW transformation.
