Broadcasting live from the Shaker Green Room at RecFest USA, Tim Sackett—dropped some truth bombs with Joel Cheesman about the cringe-worthy mistakes corporations make in their talent acquisition hustle.
Oh, and guess what? Sackett’s cooking up another book, creatively titled Talent Fix Volume 2—because one wasn’t enough. Expect fresh content, hot takes, and, presumably, a few digs at HR’s favorite buzzwords.
Sackett didn’t hold back on the AI hype train, either. Turns out, he’s underwhelmed by the industry’s cutting-edge “meh” when it comes to applying AI in TA. Meanwhile, corporate America is flailing with performance management as everyone adjusts to the post-pandemic reality of low unemployment. Spoiler: leaders are still allergic to honest performance conversations.
Fast forward to 2025, and Sackett has a bold prediction: recruiters won’t just recruit anymore—they’ll transform into talent advisors, focusing on team dynamics and playing corporate therapist. Vendors, take note: Sackett thinks it’s your job to coach TA leaders through this glow-up. No pressure.
