Greg Savage has a career spanning four decades, founder of 4 highly successful businesses, a trusted advisor and respected voice across the global recruitment and professional services industries, and a regular keynote speaker at conferences around the world.

Greg and I talk about the future of recruitment, the necessity of change, the skills technology can replace, staying productive, and personal insights. Part 3 of this 5 part podcast (part 2 can be found here) focusses on the skills that technology can replace, asking Greg questions such as:

• Business insights.. What methods have created the most success in the past?
• With so many modern methods of marketing, are there any old industry habits you think have been lost that you’d like to see return?
• Are there fundamental skills in candidate engagement that can’t be replaced with tech?
• How can tech ‘grease the cogs’ and help consultants be more productive and relate to people?
• What success have you seen with advances in tech that have helped consultants do their jobs? What things were you sure would take off that never did?
• What’s the worst advice you hear being given out to people?
