Voices & Highlights from the Report

“Think of it like a market economy. Where can you pull information from your own insights that means you can come to the table with a perspective that is holistic of the market, yet specific to how you can drive impact in your business.”

— AJ Thomas, CXO & Managing Director @ A. Team

When headcount is really limited, you have to prove you’re going for that A+ calibre type of individual.”

— José Benitez Cong, CPO @ Humane

With capacity, we’re at a tipping point. So what happens if it tips? Are we going to hire more team? The answer is no, because we don’t know what’s coming. Businesses are now asking teams what they can automate. What AI can do to replace some of the staff you say you want to hire, or have lost?”

— Tony Le, Global Head of TA @ Mission Cloud
