Quotes
Mahe Bayireddi
CEO and co-founder of Phenom
“Today, AI is fundamentally transforming the talent landscape. The future is about combining automation, intelligence and experience. Frontline hiring, for instance, can be highly automated, while hiring for specialised roles such as nurses or software engineers requires deeper intelligence to understand skills, capabilities and fit.”

“A key shift is that jobs are becoming tasks. The typist disappeared as a profession, but typing became a universal skill. AI will create a similar transition: some jobs will become tasks, while entirely new jobs will emerge. We are in the middle of an unprecedented transformation of work.”
