Stop Buying AI Blindly
Matt Charney, Chief Marketing Officer at Employer.com and a seasoned veteran of the talent acquisition space, brings a candid and critical perspective to the conversation. In this episode, he challenges many of the prevailing narratives surrounding artificial intelligence in HR:
- The notion that “buying AI” is simply the latest iteration of purchasing overhyped buzzwords
- The reality that many TA teams are applying AI to outdated systems and calling it innovation
- The trend of vendors rebranding traditional automation as “agentic AI” in an attempt to stay relevant
- The uncomfortable truth that HR’s long-coveted “seat at the table” has quietly receded—due in part to shifting priorities around DEI
For those still asking whether tools like ChatGPT should be used in recruiting, Charney suggests the real question might be: Have we addressed the foundational problems first?
