Lumen Made Every Employee an AI Agent Builder —...

AI HR Daily by OVI ·

2026/06/17

What happens when a major company stops asking "how do we adopt AI?" and starts asking "how do we govern a workforce that builds its own AI agents?" That's exactly where Lumen Technologies is right now — and the implications for HR leaders are massive. In this episode, we break down how Lumen Technologies turned its entire workforce into AI agent builders. We're talking about a company-wide platform where any employee — no coding required — can deploy custom AI agents using models from OpenAI,

Why AI Layoffs Are Hiding the Biggest Hiring Surge in...

AI HR Daily by OVI ·

2026/06/17

The headlines are screaming about AI layoffs — 1,100 a day in 2026, with more than half explicitly citing AI as the cause. But new data from iCIMS tells a completely different story underneath those numbers. Demand for AI-specific roles just surged 15%, even as applications dropped 10%. That's a 25-point gap, and for talent leaders paying attention, it's one of the biggest competitive windows in years. The real story isn't job destruction — it's redistribution. Healthcare tech hiring is up 8% since

OVI vs Bullhorn vs Loxo: Which AI Recruiting Platform...

AI HR Daily by OVI ·

2026/06/17

Staffing agencies in 2026 face a real fork in the road: stick with legacy ATS software that's bolting on AI as an afterthought, go with an AI-native CRM that stops short of full screening, or jump to a platform where AI runs the entire workflow through natural chat. Bullhorn, Loxo, and OVI each represent one of those paths — and the differences go way deeper than a feature checklist. In this episode, we break down exactly where each platform stands on AI capabilities, pricing transparency, and

2026/06/16

What does it actually look like when AI goes from pilot project to daily habit across an entire global workforce? PepsiCo pulled it off — 90 to 95 percent of their 320,000-plus employees are using Microsoft Copilot every single workday. Not just licensed. Actually using it. That's a number that should stop every HR and tech leader in their tracks. In this episode, we break down the three-layer AI stack PepsiCo built to make that happen: Microsoft Copilot embedded right into the tools people already

Candidate Fraud Is the #1 Hiring Threat of 2026 — And...

AI HR Daily by OVI ·

2026/06/16

Fraudulent candidates have officially overtaken talent scarcity as the #1 hiring challenge of 2026, according to SHRM's Recruiting Executives Priorities and Perspectives report. And Gartner projects that by 2028, one in four candidate profiles worldwide will be fake. The threat is real, it's accelerating, and most companies don't have a plan. From synthetic AI-generated resumes to deepfake proxy interview rings, the fraud landscape has evolved dramatically. CodeSignal data shows technical

23 Million Jobs Automated — But Displacement Risk Is...

AI HR Daily by OVI ·

2026/06/16

Here's the finding nobody expected: AI is automating tens of millions of jobs, and yet actual job displacement risk is going down. SHRM's 2026 Automation and AI report tracked over 20,000 U.S. workers and found something that rewrites the conventional AI-jobs narrative. The number that stands out is 23.2 million — that's how many jobs now have more than half their tasks automated. But here's the twist: the share of workers at high risk of actually losing their jobs fell from 6% to 5.1%. More

How General Mills Turned a Chatbot Into a Performance...

AI HR Daily by OVI ·

2026/06/16

General Mills didn't buy a specialized AI-for-HR platform — they grew one from a writing assistant. MillsChat launched in 2023 as an internal chatbot for 900 employees, helping them draft documents and summarize meetings. Two years later, it's processing performance reviews for 20,000 people across four countries. That kind of evolution doesn't happen by accident. The secret wasn't the technology — it was governance. From day one, General Mills put HR, legal, finance, and supply chain at the table

Why SMBs Are Ditching HRIS Recruiting Modules for...

AI HR Daily by OVI ·

2026/06/16

Most small and mid-sized companies start their hiring journey inside their HRIS — BambooHR, HiBob, or something similar. And for a while, it works fine. But what happens when you hit 80 or 100 employees and have five roles open at once? That's when the cracks show. In this episode, we dig into the real difference between HRIS-bundled recruiting tools and a purpose-built AI-native ATS. Spoiler: BambooHR has zero AI features for recruiting as of 2026 — no scoring, no sourcing, no intelligent

Your HRIS Has a Recruiting Tab. That's Not Recruiting.

AI HR Daily by OVI ·

2026/06/16

HiBob, BambooHR, and Freshteam are genuinely great HR platforms. But their built-in recruiting modules share the same hidden flaw: they're passive trackers that log what recruiters do manually. They don't find candidates. They don't screen them. They wait. And in 2026, that gap between an HRIS recruiting module and a purpose-built AI-native ATS has become impossible to ignore. In this episode, we dig into what separates OVI from the pack — and it's not incremental. OVI is a full native AI chat ATS

How Ericsson Cut 14,000 Jobs and Still Fills Half Its...

AI HR Daily by OVI ·

2026/06/15

What if your company could cut thousands of jobs and still fill nearly half of all open roles from within? That's exactly what Ericsson pulled off — and the secret is a deliberate three-layer skills infrastructure, not a training mandate. In this episode, we break down how Ericsson went from 300 AI scientists to 30,000 AI-proficient employees in five years, while simultaneously restructuring its workforce. The engine behind it? Three integrated systems: Degreed for learning and development,

OVI vs Comeet vs Pinpoint vs Recruiteze: Which ATS...

AI HR Daily by OVI ·

2026/06/15

Not all applicant tracking systems are created equal. In 2026, the ATS market has split into distinct tiers — and the gap between them has never been wider. This episode breaks down four platforms: OVI, Comeet (now Spark Hire Recruit), Pinpoint, and Recruiteze. We look at what each one actually does for your team day-to-day — not just the feature list, but whether it reduces recruiter workload or just reorganizes it. From budget-friendly process managers to AI-native systems that screen candidates

AI Is Creating a 42% Wage Gap — And Your Entry-Level...

AI HR Daily by OVI ·

2026/06/15

PwC just dropped their 2026 Global AI Jobs Barometer — one billion job postings, 27 countries — and the headline is striking: AI isn't replacing workers wholesale. It's splitting the labour market into two tracks, and the gap between them is widening fast. The most jaw-dropping finding? Entry-level hires in AI-exposed roles are now seven times more likely to need senior-level skills like judgment and leadership than their peers in non-AI jobs. Seven times. PwC calls it the "seniorisation" of

The AI Management Paradox That's Breaking...

AI HR Daily by OVI ·

2026/06/15

HR is scaling up AI management tools faster than ever — but there's a problem hiding in plain sight. The very tools designed to drive performance and efficiency are measurably destroying the one ingredient AI needs most: psychological safety. In this episode, we unpack a striking paradox revealed by two landmark studies. An MIT Technology Review and Infosys survey of 500-plus global leaders found that 83% of executives say psychological safety is critical to AI success — yet only 39% say their

HR Finally Gets a Seat at Finance's Planning Table —...

AI HR Daily by OVI ·

2026/06/14

If you work in HR, you know the drill: Finance runs the headcount models in their system, you submit a request via email or a spreadsheet, and three weeks later you get back a scenario that's already out of date. Anaplan's Workforce Analyst AI agent is built to fix exactly that — by embedding a conversational AI analyst directly inside the same connected planning platform Finance already uses. With the Workforce Analyst agent, HR business partners can ask natural-language questions — "What's the

AI Predicted Who'd Quit — IBM Saved $300 Million

AI HR Daily by OVI ·

2026/06/14

Employee attrition is one of the most expensive problems in business, but a new wave of AI-powered prediction tools is changing the game — and the savings run into the hundreds of millions. In this episode, we break down how IBM, ADP, and Credit Suisse have deployed predictive attrition models that identify flight-risk employees before they hand in their notice. IBM's system hit 95% accuracy and saved roughly $300 million. ADP's DataCloud helped one mid-market company cut turnover from 31% to 25%

67% of HR Teams Don't Know What AI Can Do — And...

AI HR Daily by OVI ·

2026/06/14

SHRM's 2026 State of AI in HR report surveyed nearly 2,000 HR professionals and landed on a finding that reframes everything: the number-one barrier to AI adoption isn't cost or technology — it's awareness. 67% of organizations say their HR teams simply don't know what AI can do. In this episode, we dig into what that means and why it matters more than most HR leaders realize. We cover the compliance blind spot — 57% of HR professionals in states with AI employment laws don't know those laws exist

OVI vs LinkedIn vs Indeed: Is Your Hiring Stack...

AI HR Daily by OVI ·

2026/06/14

LinkedIn has a billion members. Indeed has 300 million candidate profiles. Together they dominate the talent marketplace — but in 2026, sourcing candidates is the easy part. The hard part is everything that comes after. In this episode, we break down three fundamentally different approaches to AI-powered hiring and ask the question most teams aren't asking: do you need a sourcing tool, or do you need an entire AI-native ATS? OVI is a full native AI chat ATS where two purpose-built agents — Sora for

Your LMS Is Obsolete — Degreed Just Proved It

AI HR Daily by OVI ·

2026/06/13

Here's a stat that stops you in your tracks: 70 percent of the most in-demand skills for 2026 are human skills — leadership, communication, problem-solving. Not coding. Not AI certifications. Human skills. And at the same time, skills tied to actually using AI on the job? They shot up 109 percent year-over-year on Degreed's platform. That's the paradox driving Degreed's biggest product cycle in years. At their LENS 2026 conference in March, they unveiled four major AI innovations — and together

AI HR Daily by OVI ·

2026/06/13

The workforce skills crisis has a surprising shape in 2026: seventy percent of the most in-demand skills are human-centric — leadership, communication, problem-solving — while AI application skills grew 109% year-over-year on Degreed's own platform. Yet most enterprises are still running on legacy LMS platforms built for compliance tracking, not capability building. That tension is exactly what Degreed is now targeting with its most ambitious product cycle yet. At LENS 2026, Degreed unveiled four

Only 13% of Your Workforce Is Ready for AI Agents —...

AI HR Daily by OVI ·

2026/06/13

Enterprises are betting big on AI agents. But according to Workera's 2026 AI Skills Benchmark — built on more than 88,000 individual assessments — only 13% of employees actually reach an accomplished level in agentic AI. That makes it the lowest-ranked skill out of 14 measured. The gap between where companies are investing and where their people actually stand is no longer theoretical. It's measurable, and it's wide. But there's a flip side to this data that HR and L&D leaders need to hear
