Two days. Incredible insights. And a powerful reminder of what makes the Talent community so special. In this episode, Edan Haddock reflects on his experience as MC of the ATC2026 Annual Conference in Melbourne, unpacking the biggest themes shaping the future of Talent Acquisition. From AI agents and the evolution of Talent Advisory to workforce planning, candidate experience, employer branding and the growing commercial expectations of Talent professionals, Edan explores the insights that challenged his thinking and what they mean for our industry. But beyond the technology and transformation, something else stood out. Kindness. Connection. Community. Edan shares why ATC2026 felt unlike any other industry event he's attended, celebrating the people, generosity and genuine sense of belonging that made the experience extraordinary. Because as our profession becomes increasingly technology-enabled, perhaps our greatest opportunity is to become even more human. The future of Talent isn't just about lifting capability. It's about lifting each other. 🎙️ 30 Days. 30 Episodes. One Mission.

Personnel became Human Resources. HR became People and Culture. Recruitment became Talent Acquisition. But what's next? In this episode of Edan Haddock – Total Talent, Edan explores the evolution of our industry's identity, the changing expectations of Talent professionals, and whether our fancy new job titles genuinely reflect the work we're doing. From Talent Intelligence and Strategic Talent Advisory to Talent Architecture, Workforce Strategy and Talent Orchestration, Edan unpacks emerging titles and what they reveal about the future of our profession. As organisations move towards Workforce 5.0, where humans and technology increasingly work together, is acquiring talent still the right way to describe what we do? Perhaps the future isn't about filling vacancies, but understanding, developing and orchestrating capability. Are we genuinely evolving as a profession, or simply getting better at rebranding recruitment? 🎙️ 30 Days. 30 Episodes. One Mission.

LinkedIn was once one of the best places to make genuine professional connections. But what happens when the inbox becomes so noisy that we simply stop looking? In this episode of Edan Haddock - Total Talent, Edan tackles the growing flood of LinkedIn messages, from automated sales pitches and relentless follow-ups to the familiar “I just applied for your role and wanted to introduce myself.” With his own inbox now approaching 100 messages a day, Edan asks whether we need a new standard of LinkedIn etiquette. Has automation made reaching people so easy that we’re destroying the value of being able to reach them at all? And if our LinkedIn inboxes become another dumping ground for spam, what happens to the genuine human connection that made the platform valuable in the first place? Maybe it’s time we stopped asking how to send more messages and started thinking about which messages actually deserve to be sent. No guests. No sponsors. Just Total Talent. 🎙️ 30 Days. 30 Episodes.

Two candidates. Two withdrawals. And the same concern: they weren’t comfortable working for an organisation that uses AI. In this episode of Edan Haddock – Total Talent, Edan explores a question we’re probably going to hear much more often: Can you boycott AI and still have a career? From legitimate concerns around creativity, the environment, privacy and job displacement, to the reality that AI is rapidly becoming embedded in the everyday technology organisations use, this episode looks at what happens when personal values collide with the changing world of work. Could “AI-free” workplaces become a genuine niche? Could refusing to work alongside AI eventually limit employability? And perhaps most importantly, can we embrace technology while actually becoming more human, not less? No guests. No sponsors. Just a conversation about one of the more complicated questions emerging from Workforce 5.0. 🎙️ 30 Days. 30 Episodes. One Mission.

After an unexpected two-week break following the loss of his father-in-law and a sudden trip to Scotland, Edan returns with a personal follow-up to his recent episode on capacity planning. What happens when the person spinning all the plates suddenly has to stop? Talent teams are managing interviews, candidates, hiring managers, offers, inboxes and the constant pressure to deliver a great candidate experience. AI is helping us carry more than ever, but has it actually created capacity? Or has it simply exposed how under-resourced Talent has been for decades? This episode explores productivity versus overload, the need for genuine headroom, and why AI should help us do better, not simply do more. Because sometimes the world stops. Our Talent functions need to be designed for when it does. 🎙️ 30 Days. 30 Episodes. One Mission.

What if your best employee doesn’t want your job? In this episode of Edan Haddock – Total Talent, Edan challenges one of the most deeply embedded assumptions in the workplace: that ambition means moving up. What about the person who wants mastery, impact, purpose or simply a great life outside of work? And what if an exceptional candidate tells you upfront they only want to stay for a year or two? Drawing on Movember’s employer brand, “DO GOOD – Work For Movember,” Edan explores why shorter tenure doesn’t necessarily mean a bad hire, why retention might be the wrong measure of success, and why organisations need to get much more comfortable with talented people choosing their own definition of ambition. Maybe ambition was never the problem. Maybe our definition of it was. 🎙️ 30 Days. 30 Episodes. One Mission.

The Talent Acquisition industry is nervous. Teams are shrinking, redundancies are happening, AI is accelerating and some of the work recruiters have traditionally owned is changing fast. So what do you do about it? In this episode, Edan Haddock argues that the answer isn’t to protect the traditional TA role. It’s to expand beyond it. Edan breaks down five capabilities internal Talent professionals should start building now to remain relevant and valuable in Workforce 5.0, from remuneration and salary benchmarking to workforce planning, talent management, data and designing work across humans and technology. Because the future may not belong to the person who is best at filling vacancies. It may belong to the person who can help the business decide whether a vacancy should exist in the first place. Don’t protect your role. Expand your capability. 🎙️ 30 Days. 30 Episodes. One Mission.

Where does your professional brand end and your personal brand begin? In this episode, Edan Haddock explores how those lines are rapidly disappearing. Our opinions, expertise, personality, employers, online presence and professional reputation increasingly exist in the same place. But as personal branding becomes an industry of its own, have we started confusing visibility with credibility? Edan challenges the obsession with followers, algorithms and manufactured authenticity, explores how employees and employer brands are becoming increasingly connected, and looks at what AI-generated content could mean for the value of genuine human voice. Because your job title belongs to your employer. Your reputation belongs to you. If your job title disappeared tomorrow, what would people still know you for? No guests. No sponsors. Just an on-the-tools perspective on Talent, People and the future of work. 🎙️ 30 Days. 30 Episodes. One Mission.

In this episode Edan explores why access to information is no longer the competitive advantage it once was. In a world where AI can generate frameworks, answer questions and build strategies in seconds, the real value now lies in human experience, shared learning and professional community. Using the upcoming Startup People Summit as a real-world example, Edan reflects on the growing importance of specialist events that bring practitioners together to solve the challenges that can't be Googled. From AI and role design to scaling People functions and navigating Workplace 5.0, this episode explores why the best career breakthroughs often come from conversations, not search engines. If you're looking to stay ahead of the future of Talent, this is an episode not to miss. Learn more about the Startup People Summit: Startup People Summit 🎙️ 30 Days. 30 Episodes. One Mission.

For decades, organisations have been built around job descriptions, career pathways, salary bands and job architecture. But what happens when work evolves faster than we can redesign the roles themselves? In this episode, Edan Haddock explores a provocative question for the Workplace 5.0 era. What if the future isn't about hiring into predefined roles at all? As AI becomes part of our teams and human capability becomes the true competitive advantage, do traditional job architecture, remuneration frameworks and career pathways still reflect the way work gets done? This episode challenges conventional thinking around position design, benchmarking and organisational structure, while exploring a future where organisations hire adaptable humans to solve evolving business problems instead of simply filling a position description. A thought-provoking look at what the future of work could become. 🎙️ 30 Days. 30 Episodes. One Mission.

In this episode of Edan Haddock – Total Talent, Edan introduces the concept of the Workforce Lab - a new way of thinking about how organisations prepare for the future of work. As technology, AI and workforce expectations evolve at an unprecedented pace, Edan explores why traditional governance and annual workforce planning are no longer enough. Instead, he makes the case for creating dedicated spaces where organisations can experiment, challenge assumptions and prototype new ways of working before change is forced upon them. Drawing on his experience as a Talent practitioner, Edan shares what a Workforce Lab is, how it differs from another committee, who should be involved, and why the organisations that learn and adapt the fastest will be the ones that thrive. A thought-provoking episode for Talent, HR and business leaders looking to move beyond managing today's workforce and start designing tomorrow's. 🎙️ 30 Days. 30 Episodes. One Mission.

Every Talent team has dashboards. Every Talent leader reports metrics. But are we measuring what really matters? In this episode, Edan Haddock explores the difference between operational recruitment metrics and true business intelligence. From Time to Hire and Cost per Hire through to succession risk, role criticality, performance, potential and workforce resilience, this episode challenges the way Talent functions prove their value. If Talent wants a seat at the executive table, we need to stop reporting activity and start telling stories that help leaders make better business decisions. 🎙️ 30 Days. 30 Episodes. One Mission.

Behavioural interviews, competency frameworks and reference checks are designed to uncover the truth. But what happens when the story itself is fiction? In this episode, Edan Haddock explores one of recruitment's most uncomfortable questions. Can candidates bluff their way through modern hiring processes? Where is the line between selling yourself and inventing achievements? And if references are chosen by the candidate, how much validation is actually possible? This episode looks at confidence, credibility and why recruitment may need to move beyond simply asking candidates to tell us what they've done. 🎙️ 30 Days. 30 Episodes. One Mission.

Pay transparency is one of the hottest topics in Talent today, but is listing a salary on every job ad really as simple as many people make it sound? In this episode, Edan Haddock explores the reality behind pay transparency, responding to the growing narrative that organisations not advertising remuneration are simply getting it wrong. Drawing on Movember's own journey to full pay transparency and a 0% gender pay gap, Edan unpacks why transparency is the result of years of work across remuneration, job architecture, governance and leadership education, not just a recruitment decision. This episode looks at what best practice really means, why many organisations can't switch transparency on overnight, and the practical steps leaders can take to move in the right direction. If you're a Talent, HR, Reward or People leader, this is a practical conversation about turning good intentions into sustainable change. 🎙️ 30 Days. 30 Episodes. One Mission.
