## Resource

In this episode of The HR Morning Show, hosts Adam Posner and Trent Cotton tackle the growing disconnect between corporate technology initiatives and employee execution. The discussion centers on the "AI Readiness Gap," featuring data from Docebo that reveals a staggering 85% of employees are unable to apply their AI training to their daily responsibilities. The team also breaks down new findings from Monster regarding the "black box" of automated screening, which has led frustrated job seekers to adopt a "spray and pray" application strategy in an increasingly opaque hiring landscape. The show features guest Zech Dahms, who joins the conversation to provide expert analysis on these shifting talent trends. Additionally, Serge delivers the "Weather Report," forecasting how workers are pivoting their strategies as employers exercise heightened caution in a chaotic market. This episode is packed with actionable insights for HR professionals looking to bridge the training gap and humanize the recruitment process, all brought to you by the Purple Acorn Network and sponsors like CalendarPA.com and Talent Tech PR.
