No More With Less: The Productivity Rebellion in Talent Acquisition
In this episode of Edan Haddock – Total Talent, Edan takes a sledgehammer to one of the most toxic myths in Talent Acquisition: that leaders in 2025 must “do more with less.” Instead, he flips the script — showing how the future of TA is about working smarter, not harder.
Edan dives deep into the productivity revolution, exploring how AI agents, smarter HRIS platforms, and integrated talent ecosystems are rewriting the playbook. He unpacks why “strategy-only” leaders are at risk as data automation begins to shape strategy itself, and why being on the tools, building and delivering, is where the human edge remains.
From Talent Advisory to the Total Talent methodology, from automation guardrails to bold predictions for 2027, this is a raw, edgy, and unapologetic call to arms for every TA leader ready to reject the old rules and lead the new productivity era.
