Ravi Namboori, VP of Talent Acquisition at Apexon, brings nearly three decades of expertise scaling organisations across APAC, EMEA, and strategic markets in banking, manufacturing, healthcare, and tech.
In this insightful ValueMatrix.TV episode, he reflects on the 720-degree shift in talent acquisition: from box files and physical headhunting to digitised sourcing, job portals, and the AI era. While AI accelerates screening and access, Ravi emphasises that over-reliance risks losing the human touch — talent is not a commodity. True success lies in balancing tools with genuine engagement, understanding candidate aspirations, assessing empathy, resilience, and culture fit beyond resumes (which often serve only as entry tickets amid keyword gaming).
He highlights the importance of detailed intake discussions, behavioral insights, and selling growth rather than just roles to drive low attrition and long-term alignment.
A must-watch for CHROs, Heads of TA, HR Directors, and people leaders navigating AI while keeping people at the center.
