Peter Forshaw, Managing Director here at Maxwell Stephens, was recently invited to join Hamza Idris on 'The Modern Man Podcast'. In this episode Peter got the opportunity to discuss a range of topics around the world of recruitment, from how to combat ageism, to the developing role Artificial Intelligence is playing in modern recruitment.
Both ageism and AI are subjects that Maxwell Stephens regularly comes up against in day-to-day conversations with clients and candidates across Facilities Management, Property, Estates and Workplace. Older candidates can find themselves overlooked despite decades of relevant experience, while AI-driven screening tools are changing how quickly, and how fairly, applications get seen by a human being. Peter's appearance on the podcast gave him the chance to share Maxwell Stephens' perspective on both issues with an audience beyond the FM sector.
Topics covered in the episode include:
- Combating ageism in recruitment and hiring decisions
- The growing role of Artificial Intelligence in candidate screening and selection
- Practical advice for professionals navigating today's job market
