    #36 - Beyond the Résumé: Marcus Fischer on Talent, Tech & the Future of Work
    May 1 2025
    What does it really take to build a world-class talent strategy? In this episode of State of Work Today, I talk with Marcus Fischer, co-founder of Time for Hires and a seasoned leader in global talent acquisition. From starting his career in HR “by accident” to shaping recruitment strategies at Audi, Volkswagen, and Swiss banks, Marcus brings two decades of lessons in recruiting, employer branding, and the rise of AI in hiring. We explore why the old playbook for employer branding no longer works, how to attract young talent in a fast-changing world, and what the next generation of HR leaders must understand to succeed. Whether you’re in HR, a hiring manager, or just passionate about the future of work, you’ll walk away with practical insights—and a new appreciation for how careers are built, not just planned. Listen now to hear why authenticity, adaptability, and curiosity are the new cornerstones of talent acquisition. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
