I'm on holiday at the moment, but I want to make sure that you have plenty of Recruiting Future content to listen to until I'm back. So for the next couple of weeks, I'm going to republish some of my favourite episodes with conversations that you may have missed the first time round.

This week's replay is my interview with Rory Sutherland, Vice Chair of Ogilvy and one of the world's leading thinkers on behavioural science. I firmly believe that behavioural science will take a leading role in talent acquisition in the future, particularly when it comes to automation and personalisation, and that's why I wanted to give you all a second chance to listen to what Rory has to say.

In the interview, we discuss:

Why Behavioural Science is the science of knowing what economists are wrong about

The dangers of defensive decision making

Finding psychological truths and the importance of emotions

Why Uber has a map

Recruiting for diversity of thought

How Ogilvy have redesigned the recruiting process to find people of exceptional non-standard ability

While the average is not the optimal solution

The difference between equality of opportunity and diversity of opportunity

Why work is a relational relationship, not a transactional one

Cost reduction versus lost opportunities

Personalising the value exchange between employer and employee

The future of work and why it has taken a pandemic to get us there
