Do We in HR Need to Be More Technical? - Fullstack HR

What this episode covers

The short answer is yes.But yes deserves an explanation. In this episode I make the case for why HR needs to get technically curious right now, and why that has nothing to do with becoming a programmer.We cover what's worth understanding (APIs, databases, MCP servers, and why they matter for HR), why playing around with tools like Claude Code, Codex, Lovable and Replit makes you a sharper buyer of HR tech, and how one curious person on a team can shift an entire organization. It might not be the CHRO. It might be the HR assistant fresh out of university.I share what it felt like walking into Spotify with close to zero backend knowledge, why the threshold for connecting systems has dropped, and why "I'm not the technical type" no longer holds as an excuse.This is where the world is heading. You can ignore it, or you can skate to where the puck is going.
