Own The Conversation - Issue 75

Tips for making the best portfolio, loads of jobs, the launch of HAIR and a call for events for 2024.

Oct 22, 2023

Colleagues,

For the observant of you, you may have noticed a slight mixup in the issue numbers last week. Not sure what happened, but last week should have been numbered as issue 74, not 72. Unless we’ve gone back to the future by a couple of weeks and, in which case, I’m looking for my copy of the Sports Almanac.

Also, for those of you who have a keen interest in Conversational and Generative AI in HR and Recruitment, specifically, I have launched a new newsletter called H.A.I.R. - AI in HR (get it?). It’s also deliciously ironic, seeing as hair isn’t something I would usually talk about… (IYKYK).

So anyway, let’s get on with things.

If you think your connections would benefit from subscribing to this newsletter, feel free to share it.

And if you are coming here off the back of a social share, or stumbled across it accidentally and think it’s something you need to be subscribed to (why wouldn’t you!?!) then feel free to subscribe here:

So, without further ado, let's dive in and Own The Conversation!

To another great week ahead,

Martyn
