💫 Skills-first problem solving in unscripted scenarios over traditional credentials

💫 Strategy over execution as AI takes the strain on campaign management, human narrative around the AI incrementality on performance is key for growth engineering

💫 AI ethics and transparency ups its game as regulatory pressure heats up

💫 Top adtech talent gets snapped up within 2 weeks, so selection processes get shorter and smarter

💫 Ghost writing for hiring managers becomes a thing in peer recruitment tactics

💫 AI kills traditional job ads
