AI, Agility & the New Organisational Playbook in India

Season 2 · Episode 7

Friday, June 26, 2026 • Duration 34:28

Everyone wants to be agile. Everyone wants AI. Everyone wants flatter organisations, faster decisions, and future-ready talent.

But are companies truly transforming, or are they simply adding new technology to old ways of working?

In this episode of H.I.R.E.D. by iimjobs and ATT, we sit down with Mansee Singhal, Partner & Career Business Leader at Mercer India, to unpack one of the biggest workplace shifts of our time — how AI, changing workforce expectations, and organisational agility are reshaping the future of work.

From the rise of Gen Z to the evolving role of leadership, from flatter structures to skills-first hiring, this conversation explores what organisations need to do to remain relevant in a world where change is no longer a phase — it's the operating model.

🔹 Why Indian organisations are restructuring faster than their global counterparts
🔹 Whether AI is driving real transformation or simply boosting productivity
🔹 Why performance and productivity may need a complete rethink
🔹 The truth about flatter organisations and decision-making speed
🔹 How AI is changing the role of employees, especially mid-level talent
🔹 The growing influence of Gen Z on workplace design and culture
🔹 Why adaptability is becoming more valuable than experience alone
🔹 What effective leadership looks like in an AI-enabled workplace

One of the most interesting takeaways from this conversation? The future of work may be powered by technology, but it will still be defined by people.

From Skills to Impact: What Actually Makes Talent Valuable Today?

Season 2 · Episode 5

Wednesday, June 3, 2026 • Duration 21:15

Everyone seems to have certifications. Everyone seems to know AI. Everyone seems to be upskilling.

So why do some professionals create extraordinary value while others struggle to stand out?

In this episode of H.I.R.E.D., by iimjobs and All Things Talent, we sit down with Abhilash George, Business Head – High Value Search at Randstad India, to explore how the definition of talent is changing in an AI-driven world.

From the declining importance of pedigree and the rise of outcome-based hiring to the growing premium on judgement, context, and ownership, Abhilash shares what organisations are truly looking for when evaluating talent today.

We discuss:

Why pedigree and impressive resumes are no longer enough
The difference between skills, capability, and real-world impact
Whether AI proficiency can outweigh domain expertise
Why organisations are prioritising ownership and business thinking
The truth behind the so-called talent shortage
What skills are becoming commoditised—and what will remain valuable in the age of AI

One particularly powerful insight from the conversation: AI may make execution faster, but it dramatically increases the value of knowing what should be executed in the first place.

Whether you're a leader, recruiter, HR professional, or someone navigating your own career journey, this episode offers a practical perspective on how talent, value, and employability are being redefined.

AI and the New Rules of Talent Acquisition

Season 2 · Episode 4

Wednesday, April 15, 2026 • Duration 41:44

What if the resume was never really a talent document to begin with?

In this episode of HIRED by iimjobs & All Things Talent, we unpack this with a talent leader who doesn’t just talk about AI in hiring; she calls out what the current hiring model has been quietly getting wrong for years.

From why resumes sort for familiarity (not capability), to how recruiters must now become career coaches, ethical gatekeepers, and strategic advisors in an AI-powered world, this conversation is honest, sharp, and a little uncomfortable in the best way.

If you work in hiring, HR, or leadership, or you’re a candidate trying to make sense of today’s job market, this one will change how you think about talent.
