In this episode, I sit down with Patrick to explore how talent acquisition is evolving from an administrative function into a true business partner. Patrick shares his 25-year journey from headhunting in London’s dot-com boom to leading a data-driven TA team in Sweden.
We talk about what it means to create value in TA, why data matters more than ever, and how AI will reshape hiring. Patrick also opens up about the importance of inclusion, breaking down the “us vs. them” dynamic with hiring managers, and how future TA leaders can stay ahead by becoming proactive, AI-literate, and impact-driven.
