Lean TA isn’t about cutting for the sake of it. It’s about clarity, consistency, and focus.


In this episode of the Hiring Excellence podcast, Johnny speaks with Robert Rice, Global Head of TA at ERM, about reshaping a 70-person TA team into a more focused team of 40 while strengthening process, improving data integrity, and moving upstream into commercial workforce planning.


This is a grounded look at structure, discipline, and practical AI use in a global organisation.
