Who will your next hire be?

About this episode

Andy and Brian discuss the current state of hiring in B2B and the implications of AI technology on workforce decisions.

This week, Andy & Brian talk about the state of hiring in B2B. We seem to be in a "no hire, no fire" environment where we aren't seeing massive headcount reductions (outside of some tech companies) and we aren't seeing people leave their jobs on their own. So where does that leave companies that want to make sure their teams are optimized for the skills needed to use new AI technology? Should their next "hires" be technology or people? And how do you decide?
