Insight & opinion on the hottest topics affecting technology-first companies, from an industry expert
Why the future of recruitment depends on humans, not AI...
If you’ve been focused on recruitment in the last year, you’ll know the challenge. AI is everywhere. It’s speeding things up, yes. But increasingly it’s reshaping recruitment in ways that are creating problems for talent teams, hiring managers, and candidates alike.
Why the Future of Biotech, MedTech & Engineering Depends on Tech People from Outside the Sector.
In today’s world, sector lines are blurring, and fast. Life sciences, biotech, medtech, and even traditional industries like banking and engineering are no longer isolated verticals. They’re converging. And right in the centre of that convergence is technology.
Move 37, New Knowledge and the Future of Tech Talent
There’s a moment in the world of AI that has captivated me recently, and if you listened to my latest FutureTech Podcast with Lucasz Szpruch, you’ll know what I mean.
It’s something called Move 37, and it’s a reference to the 37th move in the famous Go match where Google DeepMind’s AlphaGo shocked the world with a move no human would have made, and yet, it worked.
Digital Transformation – How to Thrive in a Tech-Driven Future
Digital transformation… what does it really mean? It’s a phrase that gets thrown around a lot, often with a vague sense of urgency. But at its core, digital transformation is about how technology is fundamentally reshaping the way we work, live, and operate.
How AI and Data are Transforming the Legal Sector
There’s a quiet revolution happening in the legal sector, and AI and data are powering it. For an industry known for its risk aversion and love of tradition, the pace of change is actually amazing. In fact, I’d go as far as saying that what we’re seeing today in LegalTech feels a lot like what happened in FinTech over the past decade. A total reimagining of processes, talent, and business models, with technology at the heart.
Building High-Performing Teams in a Hybrid World: A Call to Action
At Hydrogen Group, high-performing teams are at the core of our business. Our new recruits learn from those around them, our teams thrive through shared expertise and camaraderie, and our leaders inspire us to push the boundaries of success.
What makes our situation even more unique is that we have five generations working side by side, from fresh graduates in their 20s to seasoned sales leaders with decades of experience.
Why 2025 is NOT the year to build an empire!
As we dive into 2025, I’m seeing businesses across industries, particularly in financial services, buzzing with cautious optimism.
There’s a general feeling that we’re through the worst, and after a year of laying solid foundations in 2024, many are now asking the big question, “How do we scale effectively?”.
“White-Collar Disruption” How AI is Reshaping Higher Level Professions.
As the conversation around AI continues to evolve, there’s a new concept grabbing headlines: white-collar disruption.
Unlike the blue-collar automation narrative, which focuses on machinery replacing manual labour, white-collar disruption addresses AI’s growing impact on office-based, professional roles.
Why the build-up to Christmas is the perfect time to deepen your client relationships.
As we head into December, it’s tempting to think that the Christmas season is about slowing down.
I’d argue however, that as meetings, deadlines and everyday pressures start to lighten, we’re offered a rare chance to nurture our client relationships, deepen our connections, and set ourselves up for a flying start in January.
The Future of Work: Why hybrid working is here to stay
Hybrid working has become a game-changer for businesses like ours, especially in industries like recruitment where the nature of work has traditionally been office-based.
Before COVID, sales roles were synonymous with long hours, often filled by younger employees with fewer family commitments.
The impact of generative AI on the legal sector
Looking at the current state of AI within the legal sector, it’s clear that the potential benefits are huge, yet many firms still hesitate to adopt these technologies fully.
In my opinion, despite being largely underutilised, generative AI could transform legal practices, particularly in areas like contract compliance and commercial reviews.
