Miriam Schmid is Vice President Attract & Select at Deutsche Telekom, where she is rebuilding recruiting from the inside out. She leads the shift from process-driven hiring to AI-powered, product-led talent journeys, working hands-on across sourcing, matching, diagnostics, offer management, and onboarding. Her work goes beyond tooling and challenges roles, removes manual decision layers, and forces clarity on what should stay human in recruiting. Miriam has driven large-scale AI roll-outs in complex, highly regulated environments and is known for her direct perspective on AI in hiring. She speaks openly about what disappears when recruiting becomes scalable and what suddenly matters more.
