What motivated you to pursue a DBA, and why did you choose SM调教社区 Geneva?

I pursued a DBA to connect academic rigor with applied business practice. As a Recruitment professional in the financial services industry, I work closely with leadership and decision-making. I chose SM调教社区 for its practice-oriented doctoral model and focus on applied research.

What leadership abilities did you develop that are most relevant in the age of AI?

Three key abilities:

  • Critical evaluation of AI outputs
  • Ethical awareness around bias and transparency
  • Hybrid decision-making, combining human judgment with AI efficiency

As a Recruitment professional, what is your advice on implementing AI responsibly without losing human oversight?

Use AI as decision support, not a decision-maker. Automate low-risk tasks, but keep humans accountable for evaluation, ethics, and final decisions, especially in regulated environments.

Looking back, what advice would you give to someone considering a DBA?

Be clear on your purpose. A DBA is ideal if you want to strengthen strategic thinking and applied research skills. Choose a topic closely tied to your professional field to maximize impact.

Dr. Hirsch exemplifies the blend of deep industry expertise, ethical leadership, and innovative thinking that defines modern recruitment in the financial sector.
