At a time when tech is advancing rapidly, it’s tempting to keep adding. But the most future-ready teams I know are doing the opposite. They’re auditing. They’re simplifying. They’re choosing tools that align with their process, not contorting their process to fit a platform. They understand that great recruitment isn’t about toolkits. It’s about clarity of thought. About process discipline. About being intentional at every stage
- Simon Hedt
The single most important thing we can do to improve hiring decisions is to standardise the interview process. Not just in structure, but in mindset. It’s about treating interviews not as informal chats or instinct-driven conversations, but as designed, repeatable systems. Because when we don’t, we introduce noise. And noise is the enemy of good judgement.

Right now, there is a lot of change in recruitment. New tools are arriving fast. AI is already part of our world. But I believe one thing stays true. Great recruitment still comes down to people. It comes down to how we listen, how we ask, how we plan and how we show up.
- Brad Kent
When people ask me why I love my job, the answer is simple and not surprising: Impact. The impact we have on people’s lives, on businesses, on communities and on ourselves. In the world of HR, few roles offer the unique blend of strategy, creativity, and human connection that Talent Acquisition does.
- Brad Kent

Talent Acquisition is at a crossroads. This article explores how TA professionals can reclaim their strategic value by embracing AI, building advisory capability, and aligning closer to business outcomes. It's not about resisting change, it's about leading it with clarity, confidence, and a clear strategy for impact.
- Brad Kent
It’s easy to get caught up in metrics like time-to-fill, sourcing strategies, and headcount targets. But at the heart of every recruitment process is a human being - someone making a decision that could change their life. That’s why the candidate experience isn’t a “nice to have.” It’s a business-critical part of Talent Acquisition, and one that can make or break your ability to attract top talent.
- Brad Kent
The expectations of a TA Advisor, Sourcing Specialist or Leader has shifted drastically in the last decade. Much has been written and said about this by many, but like the shift from Recruitment to Talent Acquisition, the shift from Talent Acquisition to a Talent Advisory function is real and happening quickly.

This Week in Talent - In high-pressure business environments, teams in TA, legal, risk, procurement, and finance often get unfairly branded as the “Party Poopers” - seen as blockers while others race ahead toward growth. But when done well, these functions aren’t the brakes - they’re the steering wheel. In this blog, Carrie Harding unpacks how strategic enablers shift the narrative by designing smarter systems, empowering teams, and aligning compliance with business outcomes. If you’re tired of being seen as the department of “no,” this one’s for you. Because playing by the rules shouldn’t mean slowing the game down - it should help you win it.
- Jo Vohland

Talent Leaders are facing increasing confusion and complexity as they navigate a crowded HR Tech market, stricter regulations, and shifting business needs. Here we look at the key trends and challenges
- Carrie Harding
This Week in Talent - Corporate Australia is made up of more than just employees. Temps, freelancers, contractors, consultants - we all play a part. But there’s still a lingering mindset that some contributions matter more than others, depending on employment status. This blog challenges that thinking. Because in a fast-changing world, value isn’t defined by employment status - it’s defined by impact. Whether you’re here for a project or the long haul, your work helps shape the organisation’s story. It’s time to drop the “us vs them” mentality and embrace a more inclusive way of working - where everyone belongs.
- Carrie Harding
From recruitment to culture transformation, my career journey wasn’t linear - but it was intentional. Every pivot taught me something new. This post is for anyone who's ever felt off-track but kept showing up. Spoiler: the real magic happens when plans fall apart and you decide to build something better.
- Carrie Harding
If you look at a Venn diagram of the needs and drivers of Talent Leaders, Procurement Leaders, and Employee Relations, the overlap is surprisingly small, yet their alignment is critical to managing a successful contingent workforce. Talent focuses on speed and delivery, candidate experience, and securing the right skills. Procurement is driven by cost control, risk mitigation, and contract compliance. Employee Relations ensures adherence to labor laws, fair treatment, and risk management. Each function has its own priorities, but without collaboration, you risk inefficiencies, compliance issues, and missed opportunities. Carrie shares how a new approach achieved more with aligned goals and shared understanding.
- Gary Park
In the final TWIT for March, Gary invites you to join the journey of transformation and personal development for career success. It’s time to have an honest conversation with ourselves - as Talent Leaders we need to evolve, or we might just go extinct (or not be as relevant - the less dramatic option!). We must never take for granted the role we as talent professionals all play in changing people’s lives and making their dreams a reality. AI has a place, but so does the right dose of human touch…now that’s the real magic!
- Trevor Vas
For many organisations, the contingent workforce is a box-ticking exercise. The focus? Compliance and cost savings. While these are essential, they are just the starting point. Few HR leaders take a step back and ask: What if our contingent workforce was a strategic enabler?
- Gary Park
In this week’s contribution, I’d like to share with you the vulnerable version of Gary. My hope is that for those who read this walk away inspired, educated, mindful and empowered to be vulnerable. Most importantly, I would want you to know that it’s OK to be selfish by mastering self-care before you provide care for others. In my own personal experience, one of life’s most valuable lessons has been the prioritisation of one’s health and wellbeing.
- Gary Park
Gary reminds us that as Talent Leaders, we all play a crucial role in supporting Emerging Talent in choosing the right track! Of course, we hope they choose us as they strive to thrive. Gary shares with us why a holistic Early Career Strategy is essential and many other lessons he has learned along the way.

Australian workers have accumulated over 160 million days of untaken leave, a trend largely driven by increased workloads, financial concerns, and mental health struggles. This mounting leave liability poses challenges for both employees' wellbeing and business budgets.
