Musings of Man and Machine Jim Stroud

Robots, artificial intelligence, autonomous cars... Some would suggest that the battle lines are already drawn between man and machine with non-techies suffering as casualties of war. Others would have us believe that man's survival is dependent on a new definition of humanity itself. Whereas another point of view dictates we should outsource all work to machines and focus our energies on the overall improvement of society. No matter which theory of tomorrow proves true, there is the constant of work and how we as recruiters can best prepare for it. So, how do you recruit in a world run by robots and automation? Jim Stroud, Global Head of Sourcing and Recruiting Strategy at Randstad Sourceright, ponders sourcing and recruitment strategies for our rapidly changing techno culture in a most unusual way. Whether what comes next is a battle of man vs machine, man working alongside machines or man becoming machines, this book will open your eyes to how you can best plan your workforce for the wondrous days to come. Key takeaways: - Learn the present day and future impact of robots and automation on the global workforce - Discover the jobs of tomorrow and how to source and recruit for them - Learn how recruiters must prepare for the future behavior of passive and active candidate
