Hosted by Andrea and ZiChuan—two insiders with deep roots in HR, TA, Ops, and talent tech—this podcast cuts through the noise to bring you the real stories behind how talent gets delivered.
Every fortnight, we serve up bold ideas, fresh tech, and unfiltered conversations with the people shaking things up in recruitment, attraction, and talent management.
Think of it as your backstage pass to what’s actually working—and what might just flip your thinking on its head.
This is a joint production between Talent Table and talenttech
Your Hosts
Andrea Kirby
Andrea Kirby has spent over 20 years deep in the trenches of HR and Talent Acquisition, working across industries like legal, finance, consulting, risk, and luxury retail, on both sides of the globe. From high-volume hiring to exec search, assessment centres to ATS overhauls, she’s led the charge in transforming how businesses find and engage talent.
She’s been the recruiter, the strategist, the fixer—and now, she’s the founder and Director of Talent Table: a bold, no-fluff community bringing together TA, HR, and People Analytics pros across APAC.
Talent Table isn’t just another event brand—it’s a movement. With a growing platform, big-stage conferences, grassroots learning labs, and unforgettable experiences, Andrea’s mission is simple: connect the rebels, share the good stuff, and raise the bar for how talent is done.
ZiChuan Lim
ZiChuan has been in the recruitment game since 2005, cutting his teeth in both agency and in-house roles, and helping some of Australia’s biggest names find the talent they needed to grow.
In 2012, he broke new ground as one of the first in Australia to dive into Talent Acquisition Operations—a move that put him ahead of the curve just as TA started to transform.
Since then, ZiChuan has led major projects across Australia, Southeast Asia, and India. From vendor selection and business case builds to tech rollouts, RPA, AI model design, offshoring, and analytics—if it’s operational and complex, he’s been in the thick of it.
Now Director at
Talent Tech Solutions, Zi helps organisations navigate transformation with smart tech, sharp insights, and zero fluff.
