Ep 238: How AI Is Changing Hiring, Careers & the Future of Work

INFO

AI has changed the job search—and knowing how to use ChatGPT is no longer enough.

In this episode of Money and You, I talk with talent acquisition expert Andrea Hoffer, founder of AHA Talent Experts and creator of the AI-powered Dream Hire Engine, about how artificial intelligence is transforming hiring from both sides of the equation.

What should job seekers be doing differently? What AI skills are employers actually looking for? Should you customize your resume for every job? And how can you use AI to make yourself more valuable in the work you already do?

Andrea brings 30 years of talent acquisition and management experience to this conversation, and her advice for job seekers is especially important: don’t just learn AI—learn how to use AI in your profession.

If you’re between jobs, this can be an incredible opportunity to experiment. Build workflows. Improve a process. Create a tool. Solve a real problem in your field.

We also talk about how AI is changing things for employers. Instead of immediately asking, “Can AI replace this employee?” Andrea encourages businesses to start with the outcome they need and determine the right combination of human skills and AI to achieve it.

In some cases, AI might even help a good employee overcome a skill gap and become far more effective.

The future of work may not be humans versus AI at all.

It may be humans plus AI.
