Episode Details

AI is replacing jobs. Tech layoffs are making headlines. So why do the most successful tech companies say relationships matter MORE than ever?

In this episode of Tech Legacies, host Fanny Dunagan sits down with the team from Odyssey Information Services: Jon Hibbs (CEO), Kristin Hughes (Director of Recruiting), and Ben Cohen (Managing Director of Managed Services) to unpack what's really happening in the tech job market and what it takes to build a 25-year company on trust.

What you'll learn in this episode:

1. The truth behind the AI layoffs: what's actually being cut and what's still hiring strong
2. Why "post and pray" is officially dead for both job seekers AND employers
3. The #1 thing CIOs say keeps them up at night
4. What "managed services" really means and why more companies are turning to it
5. The overlooked tech opportunity almost no one is talking about
6. 3 actionable job search tips from a recruiter who's seen it all
7. How Odyssey built a culture where top talent stays for 18–25 years (and why that's rare)

Whether you're a tech leader navigating transformation, a job seeker trying to stand out in a crowded market, or a business owner wondering how to scale your IT without losing your focus, this conversation has something for you.
