Throw Out the Playbook Podcast

Is better tech really the answer to better hiring? In this week’s episode, I sat down with Lisa Skinner Källström, CHRO at Teamtailor, live from the floor at Transform, and she brought a much-needed reality check. ✅ Tech is evolving. ✅ AI is everywhere. ✅ Tools are getting smarter. But if your teams aren’t aligned, your process isn’t ready, and you haven’t asked why you’re adopting a tool in the first place… You might just be creating more complexity—not more connection. We talk about: → The biggest mistakes teams make when implementing HR tech → Why candidate experience still suffers, even with great software → What hiring should look like 5 years from now (if we get it right) This episode of Throw Out the Playbook Podcast is available NOW wherever you get your podcasts. 🎧
