Who this is for
Two kinds of people read this. HR and people leaders who are being asked to “do something with AI” and want the real version, not the vendor version. And consultants and senior HR operators building a practice around this work.
Both get the same thing: instruments, not takes.
When: "Every Tuesday 10 ET
What you’ll get
One piece every week, published [day] morning. A quarterly read on the HR AI job market from a dataset we collect ourselves. Frameworks we actually use in engagements, published in full. Tool teardowns scored against the work, not the demo. And about once a month, a look inside the economics of HR AI consulting for the people building practices.
Who’s writing
I’m Vic Akosile. I run AI transformation and people strategy in-seat at a large tech company, and I run HR AI Institute, where this research lives. I’m okay with publishing the frameworks openly because slides can be screenshotted.
The work can’t.
