"Welcome to Giig, where the only limitation is your imagination..." 🤨

This week on the podcast, we are diving deep into how AI is fundamentally changing the way recruiters work. Luke dropped an "AI hand grenade" right before going on holiday by launching our brand new Claude MCP integration, and sending Andy's diary link to 7,000 recruiters.

We break down exactly how you can connect Claude directly to your CRM to automate hours of admin from instantly updating candidate fields using call transcripts, to using our new AI "Coach" persona to audit your BD calls and point out the questions you forgot to ask.

We also pull back the curtain on the SaaS side of the business, as Andy shares what it was like to roll out Giig's first-ever price increase after keeping the Starter plan locked for three years.

But of course, it wouldn't be Giig It A Rest without the weekly catch-up. Luke returns with a string of ailments (including a terrifying 24-hour warning about an eye floater and his official initiation into the "IBS Club"), Andy recaps a devastating loss at his annual golf scramble, and we crack open Lee's Lunchbox to reveal why Andy is terrified of public speaking... unless you give him a microphone.
