In this episode of The Workplace Wonderers, Blake Cohen and Kara Kirby sit down with HR transformation expert and AI educator, Surbhi Ugra, for a refreshingly honest conversation about what AI really means for HR professionals. From resume scanners and hiring bots to "humans in the loop" and AI-powered retention strategies, they cut through the noise and break down what’s hype, and discuss what’s actually happening.
You’ll hear:
* Why AI in HR isn't as flashy as you think (and why that’s a good thing)
* How HR teams can shift from talent acquisition to talent retention
* The overlooked need for domain expertise in an AI-driven future
* What recruiters and job seekers both need to know about AI tools
* Surbhi’s path from enterprise HR to AI-savvy consultant—and how you can follow it
Whether you're AI-anxious or AI-curious, this conversation will leave you smarter, calmer, and maybe even inspired about what’s next for the future of work.
