Recruiting Future with Matt Alder

Matt Alder has spent over 25 years studying talent acquisition, and Recruiting Future reflects that depth with 840 weekly episodes produced since 2015. Each runs about 20 to 30 minutes and features interviews with TA practitioners and subject matter experts who are actively reshaping how organizations find and hire people. The show's sweet spot is the intersection of recruiting and technology: AI-driven candidate sourcing, recruitment marketing automation, skills-based hiring frameworks, and how assessment methods need to change when resumes tell you less and less about a candidate's actual capabilities. Matt also regularly covers employer branding, internal mobility programs, bias reduction in hiring pipelines, and the transformation of talent acquisition teams themselves. With a 4.7 rating across 76 reviews, the show has established itself as the go-to podcast specifically for recruiting and talent acquisition professionals. The weekly cadence and tight episode format mean you can stay current on TA trends without a massive time commitment. While this is primarily a recruiting show, the strategic workforce planning angles make it valuable for generalist HR leaders who want to understand where talent acquisition is headed.
