The Recruitment Show with Lewis Maleh

Only 24% of global workers feel confident about their career future — and AI is accelerating that gap faster than ever.

As hiring becomes more automated and recruiters rely on AI tools to find candidates, being good at your job is no longer enough. You also need to be visible, relevant, and connected.

In this episode, we break down three strategies that separate people who get left behind from those who move forward in the AI era.

You'll learn:
✅ How to stay relevant as AI reshapes hiring
✅ Why visibility now matters as much as performance
✅ How to network without sounding desperate or salesy
✅ What recruiters actually look for in 2025 and beyond
✅ Why “being better” doesn’t guarantee you’ll be chosen

If you're trying to advance your career, transition industries, or land leadership roles, these principles can dramatically improve your chances of being found and hired.

LinkedIn just released its 2026 “Skills on the Rise” report — and it’s a massive wake-up call.

Degrees are losing value. AI literacy is driving a 23% wage premium. And the skills that actually protect your career aren’t the ones you think.

In this episode, I break down what the LinkedIn data is really telling us about the job market, and what you need to do now to stay employable.

In this video, I cover:
Why being a “pure” coder is becoming a commodity
The 23% AI wage premium (and what “AI literacy” really means)
Why relationship-building is now the #1 career skill
The strategic thinking gap recruiters can’t fill
Why EQ is no longer a “soft” skill
How Gen Z is moving away from linear careers
Why middle managers are becoming “agent managers”
The one habit that future-proofs your career

If you’re still relying on a 2024 CV in a 2026 job market, this is for you.

Career skills now have a shelf life.
After a year of AI-driven hiring freezes, IBM just reversed course and announced a major increase in entry-level hiring — but the roles look nothing like they did even two years ago.

In this episode, I break down:
- Why IBM is hiring juniors again
- How AI has rewritten entry-level jobs
- Why technical skills now expire every 2–3 years
- Why human skills matter more than ever in 2026

The takeaway:
If you stop learning, you fall behind. Careers now reward adaptability, curiosity, and human judgment — not static experience.

What if the person you interviewed on Zoom doesn’t actually exist, and that person you've been working with for the last year is an AI avatar?

I am joined by Matthew Moynahan (GetReal Labs) and Emmanuelle Saliba (GetReal Labs) to break down the fast-growing threat of deepfake candidates, synthetic identities, and interview fraud, and what it means for hiring in a remote-first world.

We cover:
- How fake candidates (including nation-state actors) are getting hired into real companies
- Why the threat has moved from “hacking networks” to pixel-level deception
- The liar’s dividend: when real footage gets dismissed as “AI”
- Practical steps recruiters can take to reduce risk without breaking candidate experience
- The rise of AI influencers and the wider trust crisis online
