The Dark Side of Claude Design: What Nobody Tells You Before You Hit Publish
Claude Design has arrived and it's genuinely impressive. Build a polished front-end website, a workflow connecting your CRM to Google Drive, a whole SaaS-style platform. In minutes. With no code. Just a prompt. Which is exactly why Kat and Nick are talking about security this week. Because the easier it gets to build, the more likely you are to skip the step that keeps you safe. And in recruitment - where your platform could be handling candidate data, API keys, and live integrations...

LinkedIn Wants to Pay You $70/Hour - To Replace You
Episode 5 | LinkedIn Wants to Pay You $70/Hour — To Replace You In this episode, Kat and Nick (husky voice and all) dig into one of the more eyebrow-raising stories in recruitment tech right now - LinkedIn quietly posting roles to hire top tech recruiters as paid consultants at $70/hour, tasked with training their AI models. The irony isn't lost on either of them. LinkedIn has been charging recruiters significant fees for years to use its platform, and is now turning to those same recruiters ...

Down the Rabbit Hole: Why AI Is Stealing Solo Recruiters' Time (And How to Take It Back) Episode 4, Season 2
The rabbit hole is real — and if you're a solo recruiter, you've probably already fallen down one. In this episode, Kat and Nick get honest about one of the less-talked-about side effects of AI adoption: the hours, days, and sometimes weeks that quietly disappear when curiosity meets a shiny new tool. They dig into why solos are disproportionately at risk, and why that entrepreneurial brain that makes you great at your job is also the one that just cost you three days of BD. Nick shares his s...

Episode 3 | The Hidden Cost of AI Agents (And How to Keep It in Check) In this episode, Nick and Kat get into one of the most asked — and least understood — questions in recruitment right now: how much does running AI actually cost, and why does it keep going up? Nick breaks down how AI agents actually work in plain English — think of an agent as a digital employee who shows up at a set time (literally triggered by a timer/alarm), picks up the right tools (LinkedIn, Apollo, your CRM), and get...

"Going Solo: How AI is Fuelling the Solopreneur Revolution in Recruitment" Episode 2
The solo recruiter is having a moment — and AI is the reason why. In this episode, Kat and Nick dig into the growing wave of recruiters breaking away from big agencies to go it alone, and why 2026 might be the most exciting (and accessible) time in history to do it. They explore how AI has shifted the conversation from "can I afford to?" to "why haven't I yet?" — lowering the barriers to entry, removing the manual grind, and giving solopreneurs the tools that once required a full team and a s...
