Job descriptions are becoming obsolete as AI reshapes work. So what should Talent Acquisition actually hire for?
In this dynamic session, Maren and Chris introduce the Human Capability Continuum™, a practical framework for understanding how capability — not tasks — drives value. You’ll explore the 8 Capability Vectors that move beyond outdated skills lists and learn why AI may eliminate entry-level tasks but increases the need for early-career talent as managers of AI.
The session reframes organizations as capability architectures, teams as blended human–AI clusters, and TA as “capability cartographers” mapping talent to value creation — not job titles.
Grounded, funny, and actionable, this talk gives TA leaders a shared language and clear next steps for hiring in a world where skills decay but capability evolves.
