Make sure you’re subscribed to the full series and visit HRExecutive.com for the news, analysis, and insights shaping the future of work. AI hype is loud, messy, and often misguided. Jess Von Bank and Jason Averbook cut through the noise and get right to the uncomfortable truth. Most companies aren’t ready for AI because they haven’t fixed the basics: broken systems, outdated processes, and low organizational literacy. This conversation gets into the heart of what actually needs to change before AI can deliver real value. In this episode we speak with Jess Von Bank and Jason Averbook about responsible AI, organizational readiness, governance, incentives, failed expectations, and why rethinking work itself matters more than any new tool. Key Takeaways AI won’t fix anything until organizations fix their fundamentals Governance, literacy, and incentives decide whether AI succeeds Automating old processes is not innovation Most AI failures come from bad expectations, not tech Leaders need to rethink how problems are defined The industry must stop “AI sprinkling” on outdated systems Real transformation requires behavior change and reimagining work Chapters 01:56 Why the TA and HR tech ROI hasn’t matched investment 02:45 The opportunity and danger inside the AI buzz 03:26 Human centricity, fairness, and literacy 04:11 The hype cycle and the rush to adopt 05:10 Asking “AI for what?” before chasing ROI 06:14 Why this is a reset, not another tech wave 07:33 Digital lipstick on an analog pig 08:11 Transformation vs ongoing evolution 09:52 What will happen to most vendors 10:39 Why AI projects fail 11:41 Redefining how companies solve problems 12:21 Defining success the right way 13:03 HR’s responsibility in making AI work 14:00 Leaders need AI literacy too 14:47 Productivity vs collective intelligence 15:55 Redeploying work, not displacing workers 16:24 The limits of current AI use cases 17:00 Why displacing jobs is the wrong metric 18:15 Vendors must solve real problems 18:59 Consolidation, infrastructure, and the ecosystem 20:04 Responsible innovation needs offense and defense 20:32 Why infrastructure consolidation matters 21:21 Why responsible AI starts with asking “why?” 22:01 Rethinking whether core HR practices still make sense 22:44 The crisis moment HR is facing 23:08 Closing thoughts and gratitude Guest Info Jess Von Bank, Global Leader, Digital HR Transformation LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jessvonbank/ Jason Averbook, Sr. Partner Mercer LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/jasonaverbook/ Host Bob Pulver, Elevate Your AIQ Podcast LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bobpulver/ Connect with WRKdefined Site: ⁠http://www.wrkdefined.com⁠ TikTok: ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@wrkdefined⁠ LinkedIn: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/company/wrkdefined⁠ Facebook: ⁠https://www.facebook.com/WRKdefined⁠ Twitter: ⁠https://twitter.com/WRKdefined⁠ Substack: ⁠https://wrkdefined.substack.com/⁠

  • Getting InclusiveAF with CoAdvantage, PrimePay, AI And The SMB Reality

    Getting InclusiveAF with CoAdvantage, PrimePay, AI And The SMB Reality
    Nov 26 2025
    This series was recorded live at HR Tech 2025 inside the HR Executive studios on the expo floor in partnership with the WRKdefined Podcast Network. Make sure you’re subscribed to the full series and visit HRExecutive.com for the news, analysis, and insights shaping the future of work. In this episode we talk about HR tech, PEOs, SMBs, AI in hiring, and why owning your own product roadmap matters. We walk through how CoAdvantage and PrimePay serve small businesses that often have no HR leader, how they think about employee experience and mobile access, what they are seeing on the Pitchfest stage, and why HR should be using AI as an additive tool instead of a replacement for real people strategy. Key Takeaways HR tech for SMBs is shifting from “forgotten buyer” to primary target, with more vendors openly building for small and midsize businesses. The PEO model plus a modern HCM platform lets SMBs pool benefits, workers’ comp, payroll, and 401(k) under one roof instead of stitching together point solutions. CoAdvantage’s CoAdQuantum platform and mobile app give employees browser-level access on their phones, including pay history and total compensation views. AI in hiring is getting congested and same-y, but the most interesting tools are removing identifiers and focusing on skills, language, and behavior to reduce bias. Performance management AI that “advocates” for employees by surfacing year-long contributions can fix the nine-month memory gap of annual reviews. Pitchfest revealed a divide between “sizzle” AI pitches and deeper semantic and behavioral models that are harder to explain in three minutes but more differentiated. HR is finally being talked about as a business impact driver, with clearer correlations between bad hires, brand damage, culture, and hard financial cost. There is a growing risk that free AI tools tempt leaders to skip a real people strategy, which turns HR tech into a liability instead of a safeguard. CoAdvantage built and owns its own technology so it would not be a small fish on someone else’s roadmap, and migrated clients to CoAdQuantum to control its destiny. The product “personality” the team aims for is flexible, honest, self-aware, reliable, and deeply listening to SMB clients, not pretending to be all-knowing.

    Nov 26 2025
    This series was recorded live at HR Tech 2025 inside the HR Executive studios on the expo floor in partnership with the WRKdefined Podcast Network. Make sure you’re subscribed to the full series and visit HRExecutive.com for the news, analysis, and insights shaping the future of work. Hiring has never been louder, faster, or more chaotic. Daniel Chait breaks down why great hiring still comes down to disciplined systems, data, and the courage to say no to feature-chasing. This is a real look at how Greenhouse thinks about customers, product, and what “great at hiring” actually means in 2025. In this episode we speak with Daniel Chait, CEO of Greenhouse about founder lessons, product vision, hiring discipline, fraud in the talent market, and why recruiting teams need better data to earn real credibility with the business. Key Takeaway Great strategy dies fast if you cannot hire the talent to execute it Listening to customers without a clear product vision creates a bloated, incoherent platform New Greenhouse Analytics puts real hiring metrics in the hands of recruiters and leaders Most TA teams still cannot answer basic questions on attrition, time to fill, or funnel health Fraud, AI generated resumes, and deepfakes are reshaping how employers vet candidates Real Talent focuses on signal, identity, and reducing noise in overwhelming pipelines High volume and professional hiring are converging on similar experiences and expectations Being right is not enough in legal or business fights if the time and cost kill the company Chapters 00:00 Why great hiring beats any strategy on paper 02:00 Daniel’s path from programmer to founder 03:40 Discovering hiring as an engineering problem 05:27 Ambitious, collaborative customers as the ideal partners 06:55 Balancing customer asks with a clear product vision 09:40 How Greenhouse stays out of the “feature soup” trap 11:42 New Greenhouse Analytics and what it unlocks 13:31 Why most companies still lack basic recruiting data 15:19 Data as the language that earns TA a real seat at the table 17:39 Launching “Real Talent” to combat fraud and misrepresentation 19:16 AI resumes, spam pipelines, and candidate frustration 21:01 Helping real candidates stand out in noisy markets 21:46 My Greenhouse, job alerts, and the “dream job” signal 23:18 Convergence of frontline and salaried hiring experiences 24:34 One system to support all types of hiring 26:33 Where automation stops and human touch still matters 28:41 A painful early lawsuit and the cost of being “right” 31:24 How that lesson now shapes partnership and customer decisions 33:35 Final thoughts and where to learn more about Greenhouse Guest Info Daniel Chait, Co-founder & CEO, Greenhouse Website: https://www.greenhouse.com Host Christy Honeycutt, Host Inside the C-Suite Podcast LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/christyhoneycutt Connect with WRKdefined Site: http://www.wrkdefined.com TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@wrkdefined LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/wrkdefined Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/WRKdefined Twitter: https://twitter.com/WRKdefined Substack: https://wrkdefined.substack.com/
