## Resource

Join hosts Rhona Barnett-Pierce and Mike Peditto as they dive into the rapidly shifting landscape of HR in 2026. This episode explores the Department of Labor’s new proposed "joint employer" standard and the rise of the "Seduction Era" in talent acquisition, where job security is officially outranking pay for new grads. Our featured guest is Jocelyn King, Founder and CEO of VirgilHR and host of the By HR for HR podcast. Jocelyn shares her expertise on scaling people operations, moving HR from "order takers" to "trusted advisors," and how agentic AI is set to redefine workforce planning. We have a special "Talk Nerdy with iCIMS" segment with Trent Cotton and Madeline Laurano. Plus, Serge delivers a "Weather Report" on the HR risks of Meta’s AI-generated leadership communication.
