Behind the Scenes of SPARK Talent with Staples VP
SPARK Talent saw some of the greatest minds in HR speak on the most pressing topics in the workforce. They didn’t just talk theory; they handed us a playbook for the AI and outlier era: First, know exactly what work needs to change. Second, know who can lead the change. Third, design the experience that attracts them.
Bertrand Dussert, VP of Talent Acquisition at Staples, detailed in his session exactly who HR needs to fill and drive these roles being transformed by technology: Talent Outliers. These are the people who don’t just work within the system; they change and reframe it.
AI: The Good, The Bad, The Liable
Despite the constant hype of technology the past couple years, AI can’t do it all, despite companies trying to make it so. Technology can streamline some processes, but there are times when AI simply can’t replace human judgment and may even have their own unintentional biases. In today’s episode, we break down when expert guidance is necessary and when relying on algorithms could put a company at risk.
Vanessa Matsis-McCready, VP of HR services and associate general counsel for Engage PEO, joins to share her thoughts on where AI should be helping, but also where AI is hurting your business, and how to know the difference before it’s too late.
The Textbook for Skills-Based Hiring
The talent game has changed—and résumés alone won’t cut it. In today’s market, do HR talent acquisition leaders ditch outdated filters like degrees, job titles, and years of experience? Or do they go all-in with skills-based hiring because what matters more is what talent can do than what’s printed on paper? In this episode, we’ll explore the shift to skills-based hiring—the pros and cons, AI’s role, and how a skills-based focus shapes workforce planning.
In today’s episode, we’re joined by Alissa Durbin, Vice President of HR at IGS Energy, as well as Lindsay LaSala, Community Relationship Partner at IGS Energy to discuss how any and all professionals can start incorporating skills-based hiring into their recruiting strategy.

Hyatt Hotels Talks Empathy and AI
Forget chasing the latest software—the biggest challenge in the AI era is the human equation. Carlee Wolfe, Associate Vice President of Leader Development and Organizational Effectiveness at Hyatt Hotels Corporation, is tackling this head-on. She sees the future of talent management not in code alone, but in a powerful partnership between technology and organizational values.
After her SPARK Talent session, HR Daily Advisor had the chance to talk to Wolfe about our most burning questions and discussing what HR professionals need to know right now if they’re going to get ahead in the workforce.
Gen Z’s New World of Work
With AI’s advent and constant changes, we’re watching Entry Level Jobs change as we know it. Gone are the days where entry level positions assist with notetaking, research, and organization, now that a few simple prompts can achieve that same work in a fraction of the time. But what is the future of entry level jobs, then?
We’ve seen a sharp decline in job openings in general this year, especially in junior and associate roles. Mixed with other economic uncertainty and worldly events, it’s a difficult job market for young people looking to enter the workforce. So, what can HR professionals do?
On today’s episode of HR Works, we’re joined by Madeline Miller, Gen Z Leadership and Culture Strategist, and we’ll be looking at how HR leaders can reimagine their entry level positions and utilize the strengths of young workers to elevate their business.
