Can Technology Make Hiring More Human?
<p>Recruiting is changing. AI is writing job descriptions, screening resumes, sourcing candidates, and in some cases even showing up to interviews pretending to be a real person.</p><br><p>Where does that leave recruiters?</p><p>Erika Van Noort and Brandon Ram believe the future of recruiting is actually becoming more human, not less. As AI transforms how organizations hire, they argue that the most successful recruiters will be the ones who understand people, advocate for candidates, and help organizations make smarter decisions.</p><br><p>In this episode, we explore how AI is reshaping recruitment. Why do so many organizations still not have a clear AI strategy? And what happens when recruiters start interviewing AI-generated avatars instead of real candidates?</p><br><p>We also discuss why curiosity may be the most valuable skill for recruiters today, how companies can uncover hidden talent by focusing less on credentials and more on potential, and why candidate experience has become a critical part of employer branding.</p><br><p>Thanks to <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/erika-van-noort-55181a1/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Erika Van Noort</a> and <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/brandonramrecruiter/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Brandon Ram</a> for joining us.</p><br><p>--</p><br><p>You can talk to Workerbee 24/7 at <a href="http://workerbee.ai" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">workerbee.ai</a>.</p><p>Follow Workerbee on <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/workerbeeai/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a>.</p><p>Check out Nikki’s executive consulting company: <a href="https://the-hiveco.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Hive Co.</a></p><p><br></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

Why You Need an AI Strategy
<p>Amir Feizpour has been working in AI for more than a decade, and he thinks we're asking the wrong question.</p><br><p>Instead of focusing on job loss, Amir argues that the bigger shift is job description loss. The gradual process where parts of our work are automated and responsibilities and roles change over time.</p><br><p>As founder and CEO of <a href="https://ai.science/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">AI.Science</a>, Amir helps organizations integrate AI agents into their day-to-day operations. In this episode, he explains why most companies are still in the early stages of adoption, where AI is already delivering real value, and why data quality, knowledge management, and human oversight matter far more than most people realize.</p><br><p>We also explore what happens when AI agents start acting more like coworkers, why organizations need a clear strategy for using AI, and what workers can do right now to stay relevant as their roles continue to change.</p><br><p>Amir stresses why learning to build with AI may be one of the most valuable skills you can develop today.</p><br><p>Thanks to <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/amirfzpr/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Amir Feizpour</a> for joining us.</p><p>Check out the Agentic Buildcamp: <a href="https://sherpa-b.ai.science/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://sherpa-b.ai.science/</a> </p><br><p>--</p><br><p>You can talk to Workerbee 24/7 at <a href="http://workerbee.ai" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">workerbee.ai</a>.</p><br><p>Follow Workerbee on <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/workerbeeai/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a>.</p><br><p>Check out Nikki’s executive consulting company: <a href="https://the-hiveco.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Hive Co.</a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

How Students Are Preparing for an Uncertain Job Market, with John Branam
<p>Graduation used to feel like the beginning of the rest of our lives. For many young people entering the workforce today, it feels more like standing at the edge of uncertainty.</p><br><p>John Branam has spent more than 30 years helping first-generation and low-income students navigate college, careers, and the leap into adulthood. But lately, he’s watching more and more young people do everything “right” ( earn the degree, build the résumé, send hundreds of applications) and still struggle to land that first opportunity.</p><br><p>In this episode, we talk about why entry-level jobs seem to be disappearing, how AI is reshaping early-career work, and why networking matters more than ever in a crowded hiring market.</p><br><p>We also get into the emotional side of starting out: the fear, the pressure, the hustle, the challenge of building a life in an unstable world.</p><p>Along the way, John shares practical advice for students and young workers trying to get their footing. From building networks and using LinkedIn strategically to embracing nonlinear career paths and learning how to “choose your hard.”</p><br><p>Thanks to <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-branam/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">John Branam</a> for joining us.</p><br><p>--</p><br><p>You can talk to Workerbee 24/7 at <a href="http://workerbee.ai" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">workerbee.ai</a>.</p><p>Follow Workerbee on <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/workerbeeai/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a>.</p><p>Check out Nikki’s executive consulting company: <a href="https://the-hiveco.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Hive Co.</a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
