Talent Tech Stacks: Play Loud, Build Smart
In this episode of Edan Haddock β Total Talent, Edan Haddock takes Talent teams behind the curtain on how to research, design, and select a Talent Tech Stack that actually works.
Forget the glossy vendor pitches and consultant playbooks β Edan lays down practical, no-nonsense tips that cut through the noise. He unpacks why every stack should start with the HRIS, how to test platforms through a total talent lens, and why teams should be cautious of βopen APIβ promises and modular upsell traps.
Listeners will also hear how to negotiate like a headliner by using PR as leverage, why short-term contracts are smarter than five-year anchors, and why going live with an MVP beats chasing perfection.
Edan delivers it all with the trademark rock-and-roll edge of Total Talent β bold, clear, and built for Talent pros who want tech that amplifies strategy rather than slows it down.
