🌊Lighthouses, the AI Wave & Hiring as a Service 👩🏻‍💻👨🏽‍💻

Hello and Welcome to Hiring Insights: Data, AI & Us. I come from a family of lighthouse keepers from Ireland. It’s our duty to scan the horizon in order to keep others sailing on smoothly to their destinations. As the New Year gets into full swing, Germany faces an economic recession, and yet there is an urgent need to digitalize and automate. To create movement in the Data community, it is our duty to understand the risks and opportunities on the horizon, and enable the matches in talent and organizations that keep innovation moving forward. In my work I sense the talent scarcity in the field daily. We need individuals with the drive and passion for continuously delivering and learning!

Uncertainty, Diversity in Data & Synchronicity

In Germany, the type of Data talent that is needed in 2024 is exciting as it calls on a diversity of thinkers and doers. Unfortunately with the uncertainty of war as well as higher inflation and interest rates in 2023, it meant people were reluctant to move and invest. I believe the Data labour market should be loosened to allow talented Data experts to have more fluid movement.

My hope is that through Synchronicity we can build a faster more dynamic German Data community implementing clever, safe, AI solutions. AI tools create CVs and Job Specification to 70% today. But building trusted relationships is our goal. We focus on uniting people together who have multi-dimensional abilities in a combination of how technology, process, economy and compliance work today.

My prediction for EU Hiring in 2024

My prediction for 2024 is that the EU AI will disrupt how staffing is handled in companies as enforcement fines mandate action. I see this as a major opportunity for the German data community, in that there could be a breakthrough in removing the quadruple Agency between hiring manager and new employee or augmented project member in our clients organizations.

My Vision: Hiring as a Service

Providing the pool of talent to the right Hiring manager at the right time is Hiring as a Service. Both the Cost of Hiring and the Cost of Retention can be applied to the micro data community in Germany. In re-organization and reskilling there is a need for reduction of staff, while the private sector has an immediate need to have a Data squad to enable projects. Every company has the need to implement Data Mesh within the organizational structure that exists to provide innovation and transformation in the increased economic recession.

Loving our jobs & Academia

I love working with top talent from Academia, I am inspired to work with who are seeking clarity and purpose for their next steps. In 2024 there is more work to do to building our Service as a Career Coach for Enabling non-IT into the AI world, to encourage, prepare and place into a new role, working for a person that inspires them. We shall also be mindful of continuing to implement Ethical AI solutions on how we handle our HR relationship data.

We embrace 2024 shining a light on opportunity and on passion for exploration. My team and I have renewed our commitment to our mission for building a diverse data expertise community – exactly the crew this AI Transformation Adventure in Europe needs. I look forward to 2024 and am optimistic that we shall flourish in the success of providing key matches for game changing organizational positions that open up new horizons for us in the year ahead.
