Human Resource Knuggets

Jul 21, 2025

Dear HR Professionals,

In this week’s newsletter, we have gathered some insightful information that can help you stay ahead of the curve in human resource management. The themes we will be focusing on include the impact of AI on employment, global economic prospects, and rethinking recruiting metrics to be more stakeholder-centric.

The first theme we will delve into is the impact of AI on employment, specifically in terms of expertise. As AI continues to automate tasks, it is important to understand how this affects employment share and wage growth. The central claim is that there is an inverse relationship between employment share and wage growth, depending on whether AI automates expert or non-expert tasks. This insight can help HR professionals make informed decisions when implementing AI in their workflow.

The second theme we will explore is the World Bank’s mid-year report on Global Economic Prospects. The report highlights the challenges posed by international trade disruptions and the need for upskilling, building network value, and raising profiles in a turbulent economic environment. HR professionals can use this information to anticipate economic trends and make strategic decisions regarding talent acquisition and retention.

The third theme focuses on rethinking recruiting metrics to be more stakeholder-centric. By including all stakeholders, including candidates, in the recruitment process, HR professionals can create a more human-centered approach to talent acquisition. This approach can lead to better candidate experiences, improved retention rates, and overall organizational success.

In addition to these themes, we also explore topics such as the rise in graduate unemployment among men, the role of AI Operations Lead in talent acquisition functions, and the impact of AI on job losses in various sectors. By staying informed on these trends and incorporating strategic approaches in HR management, organizations can effectively navigate the evolving landscape of human resource management.

Overall, it is crucial for HR professionals to stay updated on emerging trends and adopt strategic practices to drive organizational success. By leveraging insights from AI, understanding global economic prospects, and rethinking recruiting metrics, HR departments can position themselves as strategic partners in driving business performance.

Thank you for your attention and stay tuned for more insightful content in our upcoming newsletters.
