My event tip for today: HR networking meetup by Stepstone & Personalwerk

Dear guest!

As promised in my post yesterday the next HR event tip follows today: The “Stepstone & Personalwerk: Netzwerktreffen 2024” in Düsseldorf. It is organized by the two companies with the subtitle “Von der Glühbirne zum Denklicht: KI als Game-Changer im Employer Branding”.

Since The Stepstone Group is a well known German HR tech company and one of the worldwide leading online job platforms, I don’t have to say much more about it. As I like numbers, just for the record: Stepstone is doing business in more than 30 countries with more than 20 brands (one major one is stepstone), and connects annually more than110 Million applications with over 140,000 employers. Their head office is located in Düsseldorf.

Last year I visited an exiting talk by two data scientists of Stepstone about salary prediction for all kind of jobs. Some of the insights can be read in my newsblog.

Let’s now turn to the next organizer: Personalwerk GmbH is a specialist agency for Employer Branding, E-Recruiting, and a personnel consulting with more than 30 years experience. They unite the core competence of three companies, and their headquarter is Karben near Frankfurt am Main.

About 200 people work for Personalwerk: 120 of them can be seen not only with a “normal” business picture on their website, but with a rather unusual expression – which matches what the company says about itself: committed service providers – but basically just people. In a motley crew. [At first I did not realize the changing photos by hoovering with the mouse and one employee was closing the eyes with her hands, and I was a little bit surprised and wondering].

Some numbers about the company: 12 locations; 230.000 ads annually; 6000 exiting clients.

And a last note: Personalwerk is according to their website also a lead investor in award winning HR tech company Aivy GmbH, which focuses on innovative online testing based on hardcore psychometric science as their website states – which sounds also interesting for me with my background in I-O Psychology and professional assessment.

But enough about our hosts and me: You are probably keen to know more about the event. So here are some facts:

+ 15 May 2024, 17 – 21 h, Stepstone Head Office, 40219 Düsseldorf
+ Two speakers: Dorothee Reiser, Personalwerk, & Prof. Dr. Nicolai Krüger, Pitchnext
+ Focus & topics: Future of HRM, especially AI in employer branding and personnel marketing

Study

New study by the Adecco Group: Impact on talent strategy of AI and GenAI

Dear guest!

Known Swiss personnel service provider and talent company Adecco Group (with its German headquarter in Düsseldorf!) published its new study “Leading through the great disruption 2024” on April 4, 2024.

As the subtitle “How a human-centric approach to AI creates a talent advantage” indicates this study deals with the effects of machine and deep learning on the workforce. 2,000 C-Suite executives from nine countries (Canada, USA, France, Germany, Spain, UK, Australia, Japan, Singapore) were surveyed.

A key finding: “66% said they will buy AI-skilled talent externally, compared with just 34% who said they will develop their existing workforce.”

And: “37% of business leaders say pay for AI-related roles will “increase significantly” in the next 12 months, compared with just 24% for white collar and 9% for blue collar roles.”

Marcel Urech from Swiss newspaper 20 Minuten headlined his article about the study somewhat lurid “Viele Jobs, die KIs vernichten, kommen nie zurück” [Many jobs that AIs destroy never come back]. But this is the way articles attract readers as we all are aware of, even the HR folks for some years with employer branding as a marketing tool for talents, right?

Looking closer we see another result of the study: “A majority of 57% say the “human touch” is still more influential than AI in the workplace, while creativity and innovation is cited as the leading area where skills are lacking.

To sum up, five key messages are presented:

  • AI is already forcing change
  • A ‘Buy vs build’ talent strategy is not sustainable
  • Leaders are not ready
  • A responsible talent strategy underpins AI success
  • AI can help to create a human-centric business

Of course these results in my post are just a selection of the data provided, so turn for the complete results to the study report (with some interesting findings for Germany).

Well, the world of AI in HRM is as challenging as exiting – And as Denis Machuel, the CEO of the Adecco Group, says: “AI should be a tool that supports people’s unique creative potential and enables more time for strategic thinking and problem solving.”

I will put the links to the study (a PDF with 60 slides without the usual registration form!) and the cited article at the end of this article.

For now, I wish you a happy Thursday and productive end of the week!

Am 27. Februar 2024 lief in ARTE von 23:25 – 00:55 Uhr die Dokumentation “Schlaue neue Welt – Das KI-Wettrennen” von Dominik Bretsch von der Produktionsgesellschaft Weltrecorder mit Sitz in Berlin.

Inhalt der Dokumentation:

“Das Wettrennen um die Vorherrschaft im Zeitalter der Künstlichen Intelligenz läuft: zwischen den USA, China und Europa. Zwischen großen Tech-Konzernen und Start-ups. Wer gewinnt den Wettkampf? Wird Europa abgehängt? Und wer bestimmt über eine Technologie, von der die Zukunft der Menschheit geprägt sein wird?”

21 Open Access Books about AI, Data, Robots & Business you can klick on – Part 1

Dear guest!

One thing we should remember: Thanks to the widespread and more public available libraries since the beginning of the print book at the start of the Renaissance until the spread of information through the World Wide Web since the 1991:

The access to knowledge has grown dramatically to almost anyone in the world and this stands in sharp contrast to the keeping of knowledge in secret and for a few selected people in the past. But thanks to technology like letterpress printing (credits of course in the west to Johannes G.) and the work of Tim Berners-Lee for the WWW: data, information, and knowledge is now in our Information Age at almost any place in the world and at any time available.

Which can be of course a challenge and leads sometimes even to internet addiction when digital detoxing is not done in time. But I am not an expert in Clinical Psychology, so turn to some other expertise in case of interest in this matter.

Book recommendations: Surely you find helpful insights on “how to stay smart in a smart world” in the same named book by renowned Gerd Gigerenzer (see also his new 2023 published book The Intelligence of Intuition for a deeper understanding of human decision making; Note: free access to Chapter 1).

In the last twenty years another trend emerged and the publication of research papers and textbooks by open access lowers sometimes expensive orders of magazines and textbooks by publishers. One great source for this is the Directory of Open Access Books (doab), which I used for the research on the theme of this newsblog article.

So enjoy, select, klick on, and read one ore more of the following books on Artificial Intelligence, software, robots, business, and related fields.
