Podcast Overview

About the podcast Welcome to Pretty Fly AI Guys – the podcast where three recruitment nerds try to figure out if AI will save us all or just steal our jobs. Spoiler: it's complicated. Every week, Marcel van der Meer, Bryan Peereboom and Michiel Wiersema – plus some dangerously smart guests who actually know what they're talking about – dive into the chaotic, exciting, slightly terrifying world of AI in talent acquisition. We're talking resume-scanning robots, predictive hiring algorithms that think they're psychic, chatbots with personality disorders, and enough bias in the code to make your diversity officer weep. What to expect? Hot takes, cold hard truths, and the occasional existential crisis. We're here to ask the questions everyone's thinking but nobody's saying out loud: Is this AI tool actually good, or just expensive? Are we making hiring better, or just faster at being wrong? And seriously, who thought it was a good idea to let an algorithm decide who gets hired? Whether you're a recruiter who just discovered ChatGPT last week or a tech-savvy TA leader with more AI tools than friends – we've got you covered. Expect practical insights, industry gossip we probably shouldn't share, and zero tolerance for vendor BS.
