Talk Talent To Me

José Cong

The recent radical improvement of AI has shaken up the world, and as more AI tools become available and easily accessible, the concerns surrounding the implications of AI on our future grow stronger by the day. But AI should be embraced and not feared, and to help us explain why, we are joined by two talent specialists who are using AI to improve their daily operations. We kick off the show with the Director of Talent Sourcing at Activision Blizzard, Justin Ghio. Justin shares how he ended up in his current role before explaining how he and his team use AI with a practical demonstration for the live audience. After Justin shows us how to use AI to its full potential in recruiting, we welcome José Cong to the show. José is the VP of Talent and Culture at Humane, and his impressive resume includes being part of the team who brought the iPhone 1 to market (working under Steve Jobs!). José came out of retirement to join Humane and after explaining why he made this decision, he reiterates why AI is the future, why it should be embraced and not feared, how AI has improved his recruitment process, and how he and his team are using AI responsibly. At the end of the day, AI is there to support people rather than replace them, and to find out how AI can be used to improve diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging at the office, press play now!    Key Points From This Episode:     Introducing Justin Ghio as he explains his chance encounter with Dennis Rodman.    Justin’s background and his role as the Director of Talent Sourcing at Activision Blizzard.    How the Activision Blizzard recruiting team is using AI.    Why AI cannot and will not take over jobs in recruitment.    Demonstrating how Justin uses freely available AI technology for interviews and onboarding.    He explains how to use AI to its full potential.    Welcoming today’s second guest, the VP of Talent and Culture at Humane, José Cong.   José’s background and the work he did for Apple for the iPhone 1.    Why he chose to come out of retirement to work at Humane; realizing that AI is the future.    How José and his talent team are implementing AI tools.    His reasons for why AI should not be feared.    A look at how AI is improving Humane’s interview and assessment process.    What José looks for in new team members.    How he still creates great candidate experiences in today’s remote work landscape.    The way he ensures that he and his team are using AI in a responsible way.   How AI can help to eliminate unconscious biases to systematically improve DEI in the office.     Tweetables:   “We are constantly leveraging a lot of the new, latest, and greatest technologies to ensure [that] we’re not getting left behind” — @Just_in_Games [07:20]   “[AI] is not going to take your job; it’s just going to let you do things quicker.” — @Just_in_Games [09:53]   “That’s the power of ChatGPT and some of this AI technology: It’s not output-based, it’s input-based. We are always going to be the input — don’t be scared that it’s going to take your job; you are the key that unlocks its potential.” — @Just_in_Games [15:57]   “[Steve Jobs] was my direct boss, but the people underneath him were equally as impatient. There was a tremendous amount of pressure [at Apple] in terms of yielding results; we were literally racing the clock to get [the iPhone 1] out.” — @Jose_Cong [31:39]   “Unretiring was not an easy decision — life was pretty good, it was really good actually. But, the feeling that there was a paradigm shift potentially happening is what perked my interest — and I started to look into what AI was.” — @Jose_Cong [34:29]   “I hate the terminology ‘artificial intelligence’; it’s augmented intelligence. If we think about it from that perspective, we’re going to be less intimidated by it and we’re going to be more open-minded.” — @Jose_Cong [41:01]   “It’s not about hiring someone that can do the job; it’s about finding someone who is going to buy into what we’re doing, and who’s going to be passionate about participating and building what we have.” — @Jose_Cong [45:45]   Links Mentioned in Today’s Episode:   Justin Ghio on LinkedIn  Justin Ghio on Twitter  Activision Blizzard ChatGPT  José Cong on LinkedIn  José Cong on Twitter  Humane  Talent Acquisition Week Talk Talent to Me Hired
