    Is AI Helping or Hurting the Recruiting Process?
    2026/06/12
    Talent acquisition was one of the first HR technologies to truly embrace AI. But it has arguably become a problem. Employers are using AI to filter out applicants, while the applicants are using AI to generate new resumes that perfectly match the job description they are applying for.

Her portfolio of talent solutions helps to move assessments and simulations up in the funnel, while using AI to scale them so qualified candidates don’t get lost in the shuffle. She also highlights the challenges and opportunities with skills-based hiring, and the need to add some friction back in the hiring process. Anyone who has had a bad experience looking for a job needs to listen to this episode.
