    Recording LIVE on Oct. 13, 2025 In this eye-opening conversation, we sat down with Matt Charney, Executive Editor - ERE Media & Media Bistro one of the most respected voices in talent acquisition. Top Shelf Topic: Are Employers Acquiring Talent or Inventory?Matt shares his sharp insights on the subtle ways hiring practices can slip into a purely transactional mindset, and why the words we use—talent vs. inventory—matter more than most leaders realize. Together we explore:How data-driven recruiting can both help and hurt the human side of hiring.The cultural and leadership habits that either elevate people as unique talent or reduce them to “headcount.”Metrics that truly measure talent value, not just time-to-fill.Practical advice for job seekers who want to join organizations that invest in people, not just fill positions.What AI, automation, and the gig economy mean for the future of “talent first” hiring.Whether you’re a business leader, recruiter, or job seeker, this episode challenges you to rethink how organizations define—and value—the people who power their success.
