Today I strip back the hype around automation and AI in recruitment. With every second platform claiming to "streamline" your process, it's easy to get swept up in shiny tools that promise the world but deliver more clutter.

I share a simple lens you can use to cut through the noise and make smarter tech decisions for your recruitment desk.

👉 Does it keep you on the phone longer? 👉 Does it lead to more meaningful conversations? 👉 Does it help you build real, face-to-face connections?

If not, it’s probably just another distraction.

Whether you're a solo recruiter, billing manager, or agency leader, this ep will give you a reality check and a decision-making tool you’ll return to again and again.

In today's ep I break down the three essential layers that every recruiter needs to build a thriving desk (spoiler alert: it's not just about AI or automation).

Because while others are still thinking, you're already doing ⚡If you're sitting on an idea, a desk, or a market… just go. ⚡ Speed to market is your competitive edge.
