The speed and scale of change being driven by AI mean it's not "just another" transformation like the industrial revolution or the internet, says an expert who expects it to widen the gaps between employees' performance.
Adoption of AI is driving an "experience gap" for many graduates entering the workforce, and it's "a really significant issue that we're not talking enough about", a futurist warns.
Graduates are entering the workforce with numerous stressors their predecessors didn't face, which makes a "protective" connection with their manager particularly valuable, an organisational psychologist says.
Competition for graduates has been intensifying, but many organisations are failing to keep talent engaged for long enough to actually hire them, says a leader in the recruitment tech space.
Employers are struggling to align their multiple objectives when designing graduate programs, and too many still think a high volume of applicants indicates success, according to a specialist in the field.
Too many internal recruitment teams still lack access to the types of data and analytics that can properly inform their talent strategies, an advisor says.
Graduate recruitment has been "significantly disrupted", and many of the traditional assumptions about what graduates bring to the table have shifted, according to a talent management specialist.
