Send us Fan Mail We live and work in a busy world in which there is little time to read, watch or listen beyond the headlines. Hello, my name is Iain Campbell-McKenna, and this is “Procurement in 5-minutes.” That’s right, in 5-minutes I promise to tackle some of the biggest challenges and deepest questions our profession and industry face on a day-to-day basis. In today’s procurement in 5 minutes, I am thrilled to be joined by Dave Jones, the Head of Procurement for IT and digital at Virgin Media O2.

Dave highlights this ongoing problem and is the perfect person to answer the question: There is No Talent Shortage in Procurement—Our Recruitment AI Systems Suck Visit Dave’s LinkedIn profile @:
