Description

Most companies hire reactively. Someone leaves, a role opens, and the team scrambles to find a replacement. Carey Pellock, Chief People Officer at Anaplan, thinks that approach is already outdated. Carey has spent years pushing her organization to think differently about workforce planning. Instead of asking "who can fill this seat," she's asking "what skills do we need two years from now, and how do we start hiring for them today?" In this episode of Talent All Stars, Carey walks through how she approaches workforce planning in a fast-changing field, what she's learned about leading HR through AI adoption, and how she thinks about the THREE types of employees she sees reacting to new technology. You'll also hear: How dreams of being on Broadway turned into a career in HR Why she draws a direct line between performing on stage and leading people at scale The measurement framework she gives CEOs when they ask how to evaluate the people function Why she believes AI is coming for tasks, not jobs, and what that means for recruiters Connect with Carey: http://linkedin.com/in/carey-pellock-1808aa8 Learn more about Anaplan: www.anaplan.com Connect with us: 💻 All Episodes: TalentAllStars.com 💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/ziprecruiter/ 💼 Dave’s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/davetravers/ 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ziprecruiter 🎵TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ziprecruiter   Enjoyed this episode?
