Recruiting has always been a race between speed and quality. But what if you could have both?

In this episode, we’re joined by David Paffenholz, co-founder of Juicebox AI, to explore how AI is transforming talent sourcing as we know it. Born out of his frustration with traditional recruiting, Juicebox lets you search through 800 million profiles in minutes, surfacing candidates traditional keyword matching would miss entirely.

David breaks down how Juicebox uses large language models (like ChatGPT) to go beyond keywords and actually understand candidates' context, skills, and potential. We dive into the platform’s “Juicebox agent,” a sourcing assistant that never sleeps, soon able to launch searches automatically based on your ATS activity.

We also discuss market trends, including the BLS's job count correction, return-to-office dynamics, and how AI tools like Juicebox can provide staffing firms with a competitive edge without compromising on quality.

If you’re ready to spend less time sourcing and more time hiring, this is the episode for you.
