In this episode of The View, Neil Armstrong sits down with Matt Burney, Senior Strategic Advisor at Indeed, to explore how AI is reshaping not just recruitment – but the job market itself. From shifting economic conditions and demographic trends to automation’s grip on work, Matt brings clarity to the noise.
They dig into the real risks – how AI could displace roles, how recruitment functions may be vulnerable, and why storytelling and value articulation are now non-negotiable survival tools.
This is essential for recruiting leaders, talent practitioners, and tech-aware HR teams who want to stay ahead of disruption – not get steamrolled by it.
