#HRTechChat: Lilith Christiansen on Unlocking Employee Potential Through Strategic Onboarding

In this episode of Nine to Thrive HR, host Cindi Koetzle engages in an insightful conversation with Jenny Cotie Kangas, Director of Talent Centered Transformation at Eightfold AI. Jenny shares her expertise in HR technology, focusing on the evolution of work and the need for organizations to adopt a skills-based approach to talent management. We cite projections from the World Economic Forum about the need to reskill 375 million people by 2025 and the priority this raises for organizations to fulfill this need. Jenny emphasizes that the traditional systems of record, like applicant tracking systems, are static and unable to keep pace with the dynamic nature of human skills. She advocates for the implementation of systems of intelligence to enhance agility and address skills gaps. The episode highlights the critical need for organizations to evolve their talent practices and invest in adaptive HR technologies that can support continuous learning and diversity. The discussion concludes with a call to action for HR professionals to embrace change and lead the transformation needed to prepare for the future of work.

Ep. 107 - The Future of the HR Profession - Alex Hall

"When I discuss with senior leaders, interview them, or assess them for senior roles, they often come to me, and I ask them: 'What makes you unique? How do you see yourself?' Eighty percent of them tell me what they can't do. They talk about their development needs, and I say, 'Is that how you pitch yourself? Is that what you really bring to the table? You sit with a headhunter and tell me what you can’t do—why not tell me what you’re really good at?' Your exceptional value-add, your competitive advantage—that’s what makes an impact, not what you cannot do. Development needs require a mitigation strategy, yes, but I believe that focusing on your unique strengths will take you further in your career." - Mark Reinecke
