Why the CV is dead and what comes next
About this episode
The episode discusses the evolution of recruitment beyond traditional CVs towards a focus on behaviours and culture fit.
In this episode of Talking Recruitment, REC Chief Executive Neil Carberry OBE is joined by recruitment reformer and tech innovator Keith Langbo to explore how hiring is being reshaped by AI, shifting workforce expectations, and growing skills uncertainty. They argue recruitment needs to move beyond CV and skills-based matching towards “signal-based” hiring that focuses on behaviours, adaptability, and culture fit. The conversation explores the risks of automating broken processes, and the opportunity for agencies to add more value by asking better questions, improving role definition, and building trusted candidate communities. Guest: • Keith Langbo is Founder and CEO of Kelaca and leads RGH Global’s expansion across the Americas
