Is your team ready for HR tech?

Recruitment technology has never evolved faster—but without a clear strategy, even the best tools can slow you down.

In this episode, I’m joined by Lisa Skinner, CHRO at Teamtailor, live from Transform 2025. We dig into one of the biggest blind spots in talent acquisition today: adopting HR tech without first asking the right questions.

From assessing team readiness to designing people-first systems, Lisa shares what it takes to make tech actually work—for your process, your candidates, and your hiring managers.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why better tech won’t fix a broken process
• How to assess readiness across the employee lifecycle
• Common missteps companies make when implementing new tools
• What great hiring could look like 5 years from now
• How to keep candidate experience at the center of your tech strategy

Perfect for recruiters, HR leaders, and TA pros navigating the future of hiring—and looking to make smarter decisions that truly serve people, not just systems.
