Global Medical Device Podcast · 15 Dec 2025 · 43m · Episode 437

What this episode covers

Elena Kyria, founder and CEO of Elemed, discusses the 'reset' in the MedTech talent market, where the previous 'war for talent' has shifted to a candidate-saturated environment driven by AI and economic volatility. She explains how LinkedIn's 'Easy Apply' feature overwhelms recruiters, forcing candidates to access the 'hidden job market' through direct networking and strategic personal branding. Kyria emphasizes that AI literacy is now essential for Quality Assurance and Regulatory Affairs professionals to eliminate tedious tasks and focus on high-value strategic work, while transverse skills like communication become the key differentiator for specialists and generalists alike.
