HR-tech founders and talent leaders say workplace transformation has only just begun  

From AI-led hiring systems to skills-first workforce models, HR-tech and talent leaders say companies are entering a far more disruptive phase of workplace change. 

The next workplace transformation may not revolve around offices, hybrid work or productivity tools. 

It may revolve around whether traditional hiring systems, workforce structures and even job definitions themselves still make sense. 

This International HR Day, HR-tech founders, staffing leaders and workforce strategists described an industry preparing for much deeper changes in how organisations hire, manage and develop talent.  

The conversation is extending beyond internal workforce management as well. Anneka Darashah, Head – People Advisory at MOAR Advisory, pointed to the growing influence of Global Capability Centres in reshaping talent ecosystems, leadership structures and business transformation strategies across India. 

“AI is not only transforming workflows and productivity but also redefining leadership and the skills required for the future of work,” Darashah noted.
